Re Lon Taylor buried in Milltown Cemetery. Says he died 1952. His bros. were: Martin Elmer & Carl N. Believe I remember Lon having a boy & girl as recall visiting them w/Gertrude Taylor when I was young. Their names may have been Bobby & Donella but I don't recall for sure.
Carl N. Taylor was murdered by his houseboy in New Mexico around Albuquerque I was always told by my mother - Alma Marie Taylor Parr Beard. Prob. before I was born in 1930's. Don't believe he was married. Any info. concerning these people, will apprec.

My grandparents both buried @ Milltown cemetery.
Martin E. Taylor b.1888 - Obituary on file here says d. 1964 - not correct. His spouse: Gertrude Spencer Taylor is the one d. in 1964 @ age 76. He died young in his 40's per what my Mother, Alma Taylor Parr Beard, always told me. Gertrude b. 1888 believe (his birth date may be wrong??)
Am wanting to find out more about their parents.
Martin E. had bros.: Carl N & Lon both buried @ Milltown. I do not name of parents.

Gertrude Spencer Taylor's father was: James Spencer m. to Phoebe Slaughterback (Schlotterback)?? I think. I never knew her, but did see him several times when young girl. He was short fellow humpbacked -- was told he used to have a groc. or store down at ft. of hill from the old theatre bldg. on the corner @ top of that hill as you come into Milltown from SR#64.
I would like to know who his parents were & also Phoebe's parents if anyone knows that info.
