From “Family History of the Joseph Taylor, Jr. and Sarah Best Family”
By Shari H. Franke
He and Gertrude had four children: Gilbert Hawthorne, William Temple, George (who died the day he was born), and Mary Elizabeth Taylor.
Reverend Taylor was always proud of his children, especially that all were graduates of DePauw University, Indiana. He also had graduated in literature from DePauw University and afterward entered into the ministry in the Methodist Episcopal Church. He had a very keen mind, a trait that was passed on to his children.
Reverend William Irven Taylor died 31 December 1934, at the Jamison Hospital in New Castle, Lawrence, Pennsylvania. Gertrude E. died 12 January 1929, at New Wilmington, Lawrence, Pennsylvania. They were both buried at the Neshannock Cemetery, New Wilmington, Lawrence, Pennsylvania.
