THE DAILY ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 14, 1894. The Body is Laid at Best in the Clatsop Cemetery. A Brief and Interesting Biograghy of the Deceased Pioneer. The funeiUl of the late Colonel James Taylor took plaoe yeeberdUy from the family residence In this city, now occu pled by Mr. E. A. Taylor, the oldest son of the deceased. It was one of the largest funerals thait ever occurred In Astoria, the concourse of old friends of the deceased and the family connec tions overflowing the spialo is halls and parlors of the manalon, and quite filling the grounds In front.' A touching r-cene ' of the occislon waa the attendance In a body of the survivors of the Pioneer AssocU'tiiorO of whluh Colonel Taylor was one of the founders, and a leading m ember. The serrlajs began about 10 o'clock by the &lns'lng of th old hymn "Nearer My God to Thee," rendered by a pjclied choir of male .voices, after whicti Rev. Dr. Hyland recited the usual beautiful and impressive prayers of the Episcopal burial service, and the choir sang "Rock of Ages." The cortege left the house about 11 o'clook, and wag preceded on the way Ho the dock by the members of the Plon?er' AaaooBaitron, marshaled by Jndge Gray, mairoMng two by two, and followed by a procession of others In laittenuUnce. The steamer Sairah Dixon had been chartered and. was waiting wJth Bteaim on to receive the funeral TJarty, and left Imimexlilaltely for the Seaside railroad Junciflon, where all were twansfenred to the train, and the journey to the old Clatsop Plains cem etery began. All airraingementa and de tails hod been carefully looked after, and as the funeral train proceeded, It Was Joined at the several irnUermediate titaltl'ons by groups of the deceased Colonel's Clatsop Plain adquadntances end friends. The cemetery being reached, and the op?n grave surrounded by the family and frlenda, Dr. HyUnd completed the burial service, and all that Was mortal of the late Colonel Taylor was left Bleeping by the side of his already de- partx;-d partner, and within sound of solemn and perpetual requiem sung by the waves of the Pacific ocean on the ftinds of Clatsop Beach. The late Colonel James Taylor ,waa born in Bradford county, Pennsylvania, Mainh 9, 1803. His parents, William Taylor, and fane Wilson Taylor, were . both natives of the Same state. In 1823 Win. Taylor moved to MUnsfleld, Ohio, and here James, with his brothers, (10 1n number) assisted his father In clear flng land farming In summer time and attending such schools 'n the winter as thiait far western country then afforded. Duiiing the winter of 1830-31, he took a hand at law practice, and for that t'sos. n tauglhit the district school. In 1831 he joined Ms brother, Wm. Taylor, (at Findlay, Ohio, (the present site of the city of Findlay) located In the great black swamp of the Mlaumee country, . In the Northwestern part of the atate, IrihatUted by the Wyamdotltes, and Otta awa Indian, and established a trading post. A ltt'tle later arcathef trading post was eatoMished at Kallda, Ohio. De troit, Mk was the market for dis posing of furs and skins. They bought trade goods In New York. Trade was not confined to furs, for they handled cattle quite extensively, most of them being disposed of In Michigan. During the troutfes with the Indians In Northwest Ohio and Michigan, James Taylor took an active part In the mili tia, and for services was made colonel. In 1839, whJle living In Kallda, OhJo, he married Esther D'Armon, in Putnam county. About 1841 he disposed of most of his property in -Kalida and pur- ' chased more in BillfowOaln, the county Beat of Logan county, with the inten sion of rmajolng that place his home, fcut continuing In business with his brother until 1843, when he was made register of the United States land -office which neoestfiUated his removal to Lima, Ohio. III health decided Mm to emigrate to the Pacific Coast. He organized a com pany, among whom were; Orvllle Rls ley, wife and two children; Levi Rice and child; A. E. Skinner, Hiram Snvltih, Nc4i Huber, C. Main, Wm.' Savage, Abel Gwrge, E. C. Crow, now of Knap pa); J. C. Crlghton, and some eight or ten' ollxTB. They left Um&- ohl (March 6. H45, and after two weeks of travel arrived at Independence, Mo., thn the general rendezvous for emi grants. Here they remained some four 'weeks, making, purchases of oxen, horses, and mules, and organizing thern ielve3 Into companies, and electing oracers for eime. Finally, after corn plating their outfit for five months' travel. Col. Taylor left Independence wtftia prairie outfit of four wagons, twenty yoke of oxen, and a band of loos? oxen and cattle. ,-Hie soon found that the large party with which he traveled was too slow and cumbersome so In a few days he, with Green Palm er, wUStdrew their partes from the maJn train, and taking Stephen Meek as giylil. pushed on ahead. Hunting the buffalo, elk, nd antelope, was the prtn tpal pastime of the men, and In this way they kept the camp well sup p'ie;1. with fresh moat. Strange as H may seem, at th's eirly date, the In dian were praeti.mHy at peuce with Ithe whites, and li.tle trouble was ex perienced w h them, except their pro. penalty for making away with a food Jjur.se or mule now and then, tod appro priating any loose article about camp. But for the more certain protection of 'this' vast trailn of errilg'ilants stretching from the Missouri river to the Rocky Mbumltains, Prestderrt Polk had sent Green Curry with 300 dragoons, as our cavalry was then called, to look after their saibty, and It wa3 mainly by their aid that the emlgr&n'ts ot '45 made the trip as they did. At the foot of Blue Mountain' they met Dr. Whitman, who continued with them as far as the Columbia river. At the , Dalles they met Col. Samuel R Barlow, who was cutting a road acroea the Cascade Mountains. CoL Taylor made camp In the Tish Valley, ami furnished mem. and teams to assist In opening the roads. To avolld the ' In oumbr&nce of heavy wagons while orosEiine 'the Cascade Mountains, he abandoned these and packed his fain ily effects and drove the loose stock across. On October 10, 1Mb, ne arnveu at Oregon City. In the spring of 1847 he moved to Clatsop Pladns, where he purchased a claim of 640 acres of land. The Indian (Cayuse) war of 1847-48, caused by the rriasfi&are of Dr. Whitman and family, induced him to return with his family to Oregon City. To the call from Gov ernor Atternetthy for volunteer troops, he responded, and was made quarter master, with quarters at Fort Waters, on the site of the "Whitman massacre, When peace had been restored. Col James Taylor, Oapt. Philip F. Thomp son, and Capt. Absolem Hembren, at' tempted to colonize the Grand Ronde country, but In the midst of this at- itempt, the gold mines of Oalliomia were discovered,, and all their men left them for the new Eldorado. Returning to Oregon OKy, : he Joined with Gen Lovejoy and Medorum Crawford and engaged In the sawmill business. The enterprise was successfully carried on uin'btl the grdat freshet of 1849-50, which washed mill, lumber and all down the river. During the legislature of 1843-49, he Was made treasurer of the Provlnclail government, but soon resigned to be come dlrec'tor of the mint, then organ' irort to mmk a uniform value for Bold dust. In September, 1850, the coinage of the "Beaver Money" was begun, and contilnijied untfll Governor Lane took charge of the territory In 1851 In the name of the United Staites. In 1851 he returned to Clatsop and engaged In (farming and cattle raisins, shipping to Victoria, Fraser River, and Puget Sound. In 1854 he sent parties East to bring sheep overland, but It proved an unprofitable venture. In 1855 he moved his residence to Astoria and built upon the site of the old Astor fort. He was among the first to join the Republican parity, and In 1856 Was elected to the- legislature on that ticket, but was counted out by the more radical Whigs and Democrats. This was his first and only attempt at politics. FINAL ACCOUNT.
