"Newton Taylor, son of Edward and Nancy (Newton) Taylor, was born July 9, 1832, in (Greenwood Twp.) Crawford county, and received a limited education in the common schools, being obliged at the early age of ten years to leave home and seek employment in the lumber woods on the Clarion river, afterward working (p. 216) on different tracts and in various sawmills. Later he engaged in lumbering for himself, and carried on an extensive business in Clarion, Jefferson and Elk counties. He is at the present time (1907) lumbering on a tract of sixteen hundred and forty-four acres in Elk county, which he purchased seventeen years ago. For a number of years he conducted a planing mill at Corsica, Jefferson county, and was at different times the owner of several farms. Since 1891, he has been a resident of Pittsburg. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and contributed to the building of several church edifices. In 1863, when the state was threatened with invasion by the Confederate army, Mr. Taylor was among those who volunteered for its protection and served six weeks.
He married, March 4, 1857, Sarah, born October 28, 1839, in Jefferson county, Pennsylvania, daughter of David L. Moore, and they became the parents of the following children: Edward, of Pittsburg; Rose M., wife of Elmer Sloan, of Allegheny; Harry, of Monaco, Pennsylvania; David L., of Brookville, Pennsylvania; William, deceased; Charles, also deceased; Julia W., wife of Archie Rowand; Carolyn Priscilla, wife of Harry Black Reamer; Belle, wife of James Garfield Armstrong, and Elizabeth, died young."
