Taylor, Caroline T. (21 Aug 1859 - 8 Jan 1899)

Mrs. Caroline T. Taylor died last Sunday night at her home in this city (Neillsville, Clark County). Deceased was the wife of Jas. G. Taylor, the well known builder and contractor of this city. She was born Aug. 21, 1859, at Pewaukee, Wis., and moved while yet a child with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Billings, to Pleasant Ridge, where she grew to womanhood. She was married to Mr. Taylor Nov. 18, 1877, and the first two years of their married life were spent at Medford, Wis., moving from there to Pleasant Ridge. Her home has been in this city for the past fifteen years.

Her death was caused by spinal trouble from which she has been a patient sufferer for the past five years. Funeral services were held Wednesday, Jan. 11th, at two p.m., Rev. Foster preaching the sermon.

She was a charter member of the Eastern Star order was associate matron for a period of three years, and was buried under their auspices. A true wife and a woman beloved by all. Her taking away from our midst is a great loss, but she is free from suffering and has joined the Father above.
