REV. J. H. TAYLOR DIED TUESDAY

Had Spent Fifty-two Years in Baptist Ministry

Arlington mourns the passing of one of her oldest and most beloved citizens, Rev. J. H. Taylor, age 77, who was for fifty-two years a well-known Baptist minister.

Funeral services were conducted for the Rev. Mr. Taylor at the Arlington Baptist Church Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 p. m., with the Rev. W. T. Rouse, pastor, and the Rev. D. C. Williams, assisted by the Rev. S. M. Bennett, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, the Rev. C. E. Statham and Dallas ministers.

Rev. Mr. Taylor died at his home here in Arlington Tuesday after a brief illness. He was born in Mississippi in 1851. He was ordained a Baptist minister in 1876, later moving to Texas and accepting his first pastorate at Honey Grove. He had resided in this city since 1922, having moved here as field representative and evangelist for the Baptist State Board. During his early ministry he filled regularly as many as five appointments each Sunday in different points of the State.

Survivors are his wife, four daughters, Miss Ida Buwie Taylor, who is a missionary in Shanghai, China; Miss Nell Taylor, principal in the public schools of El Paso; Miss Luella Taylor, in the public schools, Dallas, and Mrs. W. A. Brown, Dallas; five sons, W. C. Taylor, Hugo, Okla.; the Rev. J. S. Taylor, Linden, Cass County; D. H. Taylor, Quanah; W. R. Taylor, Fort Worth, and Marquis E. Taylor of Salem, Oregon.
