Taylor, Grace L. (20 DEC 1882 - 21 MAY 1910)

Mrs. Charles Taylor died Saturday in a hospital at Minneapolis and the remains were taken to her home at Barron, where interment was made yesterday  afternoon.

Grace Lillian Grow was born at Colby, Wis., on Dec. 20, 1882, and a year later came to Neillsville (Clark Co., Wis.) with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Grow.  Here she grew to young womanhood, developing that sweetness of character and womanly disposition that distinguished her in the later years of her life.  She attended the Neillsville schools, graduating from high school in 1903, entering the state university at Madison the same year and graduating from there in 1907.  On May 27, 1908, she became the wife of Charles A. Taylor of Barron and removed to that city to transplant the now developed qualities in the establishment of an ideally happy home.

On July 25, 1909, her father died, which was a deep sorrow to her, for her companionship with her father was one of the greatest pleasures of her life.  For some months she has been ailing, and a short time ago, her husband took her to a hospital at Minneapolis, where it was found that she was suffering with abdominal tumors, and from which cause death resulted.  Mrs. Taylor is survived by her husband, mother and brother, Hal.

In the termination of the life of Grace Grow, Barron loses a superb woman, and Neillsville has now only the memory of sweet, lovable and charitable girl.  It seemed that all the qualities that go to make up an ideally happy and winsome character were embodied in Grace Grow, and her life, replete with kindness and fidelity cannot but be a lesson of goodness and virtue to all who knew her.

Those who attended the funeral from here were, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Schuster, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Campman, Mrs. Will Huntley and Mrs. Ed Hoey and Carl Stange.
