Person:David Taylor (32)

Excerpt from a letter written by David H. Franklin Riherd: Grandfather Taylor was of Scott-Irish blood. He was raised an orphan boy. He was tall and rather slender build. He had the biggest ears of any person I ever saw- fine conversationalists.

I have heard him tell many incidents of his life which would be of but letter interest to you. he was a practical joker in his younger days. He died in 1880, at the age of 75. He was a farmer the most of his life. A Republican in politics and a Baptist in religion. Almost all of his children were lovers of books and several were educated.
