| 説明 | Staff, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 8th Division, Missouri State Guard, C. S. A.From the 1887 History of Vernon County, Missouri. Brown & Co., p. 873: WILLIAM H. TAYLOR (Postmaster, Montevallo) One of the bravest soldiers who enlisted for service during the late war on the side of the Confederacy was the subject of this sketch, and while his experiences in that struggle may not have been the most important in his life, they are certainly of sufficient interest in this day to briefly mention them at least. Entering the Southern army at the first call for troops to suppress invasion, he was subsequently commissioned captain, and in 1862 was taken prisoner near Montevallo, on the old Bangs’ farm. He was removed to Fort Scott and then sent to Fort Leavenworth, from whence he was released on parole September 6, 1862, remaining on parole until in 1863. In 1865, he surrendered at Nevada. Away back in 1849 he had settled in this county, and in 1858 was appointed to fill out the unexpired term of James Fergus, the county sheriff, a position to which he was elected in 1860, and one that he held until his enlistment. Mr. Taylor came originally from Boyle county, Ky., where he was born October 20, 1831. Jesse Taylor, his father and Elizabeth (Anson) Taylor, his mother, were also Kentuckians by birth, and the parents of six children, of whom William H. was the third, though the eldest son. When quite young he accompanied his parents to Missouri, stopping first at St. Louis, from there going to Warren county, where he grew upon a farm, and then coming here as stated. After the close of the war he went to Illinois for a short time, visiting Nebraska the following fall, but in 1868 he returned again to Nevada. In 1872 he was a second time elected sheriff of the county, a compliment which plainly indicated his worth and fitness for political preferment. His term expired in 1875, and in 1876 he went to Dade county, and after awhile to Arkansas, where he remained two and a half years. During this time he was engaged in a survey of the town of Eureka Springs. In November, 1883, Vernon county again became his home, and in September, 1885, he received the appointment of postmaster by President Cleveland, the duties of which position he is now acceptably discharging. In 1853, Mr. Taylor was married to Miss Emaline Gresham, who died in 1854, leaving one son, Willie S. In 1861, Miss Sarah E. Pottorff, of Barry county, Ill., became his wife, and one son has blessed this union, Willis H. Mr. T. is a Knight Templar in the Masonic Order. |
