Obituary- Taylor, Ida

Mrs. Ida M. Taylor Dead

Mrs. Ida M. Taylor, wife of John Taylor, superintendent of the county poor farm, died last Monday at their home at the farm near North Topeka.

Mrs. Taylor had long been a sufferer from Bright's disease and could get no relief. She was 45 years old and is survived by her husband and two children, Joel W. and Miss Grace Taylor.

The body was brought to this city Wednesday and funeral services were held at the M.E. Church, conducted by Rev. Wykert a former pastor of the U.B. Church near their old home north of this city. Music was furnished by a double quartet from the choirs of the M.E. and Presbyterian Churches. Old time friends and neighbors filled the church to overflowing who desired to pay a last tribute of respect to the dead.

Mrs. Taylor was born in Iowa county, Iowa, September 10, 1859, her maiden name being Ida May Cover. In March of 1878 she was married to Mr. J.E. Taylor and soon afterward they removed from Iowa to Kansas, locating on a farm near this city.

They continued to live here until the appointment of Mr. Taylor nine years since as superintendent of the county poor farm. Mrs. Taylor was a member of the United Brethren church.
