Death Relieves Suffering After Four Months Illness – Buried in Hopewell Cemetery
Taylor Anderson, one of the best known men in Johnson county, died at his home in this city on last Thursday at 12:30 after a long illness. He was a sufferer with spinal trouble which had grown worse in the past year and which, with a stroke of paralysis suffered some weeks ago, was the cause of his death.
Taylor Anderson was born in Harrodsburg, Ky on March 17th, 1848. He was united in marriage to Miss Amanda Curry on December 15th 1875. To them were born five children, three of whom, with the mother, survive. They are Homer Anderson, Mrs. Emmett Barnett and Doris Anderson.
Mr. Anderson was formerly a resident of the Hopewell neighborhood, coming to Franklin after seven years residence in that locality. He was in the implement business here with John A. LaGrange and the late William DeMott. After that partnership was dissolved he was employed as a traveling salesman until his health gave down. He was a member of the Hopewell Presbyterian church.
Mr. Anderson was a Republican politically and was the successful candidate on the Republican ticket for the office of trustee of Franklin township at the November election. He was ill when elected. His condition showed no improvement and realizing that he would never be able to take charge of the office he resigned on Monday of last week, his son being appointed to the place. He was an ardent party worker and was at one time County Chairman of Johnson county.
The funeral was held from the late home on Saturday morning at 10:30. Rev. L. P. Marshall conducted the services and the remains were taken to Hopewell cemetery for burial. The pall bearers were Thomas Flinn, Martin Sellers, Richard Owens, James A. Pritchard, David Forsythe and John W. Ditmars.
