CLEVELAND COUNTY HERALD - Oct. 13, 1904

MR. J.N. TALIAFERRO

Died at his home, at Lehigh, Ark., four miles northeast of here, Sunday evening, October 9th 1904 at 4 o'clock. Mr. John Nicholas Taliaferro was in the 70th year of his life.

Mr. Taliaferro was a native of Georgia and it was in that state that he received his education and grew to man's estate. In his early manhood he moved to Mississippi where he spent a year or two from there he came to
Arkansas and located within the present limits of Cleveland County where he lived till his death. Soon after coming to this state, he met Miss Barbara McGehee to whom he was later married and with whom he lived until she was called from the walks of this life in Aug. 1899 to a better world above.

Mr. Taliaferro was a scientific and succussful farmer. He was one of the best read men that has ever lived in this county. He was well versed in the history of many counties. He did much reading of a literary and scienfific
character.

When the war between the states broke out, he volunteered his services as a private but later attained the position of captain and for four years he fought for the cause that he believed to be just. When the confederacy fell, he returned to his home in this county and went to work as a loyal citizen to rebuild his broken fortune.

He was a consistent member of the Methodist church and was a liberal supporter of the same.

He was a quiet, modest gentleman but not a man who sought to shirk responsibility.

As a farmer, as a citizen, as a church member, as a soldier in defense of his home and his property, as a father and as a husband, he measured to the highest standards. He leaves four daughters, Misses Lucy and Mary
Taliaferro and Mrs. J.H. Hollis of Little Rock and Mrs. Eugene P. Aldredge, of Louisville, Kentucky, and one sister, Mrs. Horace Jewell and many other relatives and friends to mourn their loss. His remains were laid to rest
Monday evening in the burial ground at Bethlehem. The funeral services having first been held at the home of the family. The Herald deeply sympathizes with the bereaved family.
