Edgar was a twin born to Nathaniel Franklin Taylor 1824-1883 and Eveline W. Haskell 1827-1866.
Edgar William Taylor was born Nov 29 1866 near Helena, Tama Co IA. He died Dec 2 1946. They moved to Woodbury Co IA about 1880. From Little Sioux Township, Woodbury Co IA, the family moved to near Merrill IA in 1908, then in 1910 they moved to Sioux City IA where they remained for one year then moved to Johnstown NE. They moved back to Iowa and were living near Holly Springs where the daughter, Evaline, was married in Feb 1915 to George Rasmussen of NE. In 1916, they moved to Ainworth NE and remained there for the rest of their lives. Dollie died in 1944 and Edgar died in Dec 1946.
Edwin Thomas worked for A.A. Bowen during the year 1888. The next spring, March 17 1889, he was married to Myrtie Leora, the oldest daughter of the Bowens. The first couple of years of marriage Edwin and Myrtie lived with her parents, where their first child, Mable Rosalie, was born Jan 25 1890.
As an adult, Edgar William Taylor was 5'9" and weighed about 150 lbs. He had dark hair and was light complected. At age 22, on Nov 29 1888, he married his childhood playmate, Dollie Eleline Carter at Smithland IA.
Dollie was born at Malcomb IL. Her father, William Carter, was an engineer on the railroad. He died when his four children were very small. Sometime later, her mother remarried a man named York, and they may have had one son. Life was alway difficult for the family. They were never really prosperous. Most of their live was spent moving from one rented farm to another. During the first year of their marriage they lived in a dugout. In their later years, they endured hardships even worse than those previously mentioned such as: lack of clothing, rationing of flour and sugar during World War I, and finally the Great Depression.
Despite all their difficulties, they were mild mannered and were especially kind to people they knew. They were faithful members of the Methodist Church. Wherever they went, if there was no Church or Sunday School, they organized one.
The Edgar William Taylor family were confronted with many daily problems. To solve these problems, Edgar and Dollie occupied themselves with a variety of occupations. Dollie was a very good seamstress. Not only did she sew for her family, but she sewed for her friends as well. She was also a practical nurse for the community. Probably the most unusual of her many occupations was that of being the town's undertaker. At the time the law did not require the corpse to be embalmed. Consequently, Dollie was permitted to practice her profession.
In 1909, they left Morrill IA and moved to Sioux City IA where they operated a livery stable. In 1911, they left Sioux City by train to homestead in Nebraska. They chose a site six miles south of Ainsworth NE for their ranch. The ranch failed to produce a profit, and in about 1912, after just a year, they moved back to Sioux City IA. Edgar William operated a shoe repair shop for 2 years. In about 1914 they moved to a farm southeast of Sioux City, where they stayed for 3 years. In about 1917 they moved back to Ainsworth NE by train. They lived on small farms or ranches for several years. He later moved into Ainsworth and worked for the Railroad for a few years, until he became ill. Dollie died Apr 11 1944. Edgar William spent the rest of his life doing odd jobs, and he took up clock repair as a hobby. He died at the home of his daughter, Mrs Ruby Jackson, on Dec 2 1946 at the age of 80.
