Read More	History of Jackson County, Iowa, 1910, J. W. Ellis DOUGLAS TAYLOR. The agricultural interests of Jackson township find a worthy representative in Douglas Taylor, who is living on section 36. His farm is that on which he was born January 11, 1863, his parents being J. L. and Maria (Daniels) Taylor, both of whom were natives of Pennsylvania, where they were reared and married. In the early '40's they came to Jackson county, Iowa, entering from the government the farm on which their son is now living. They built thereon a little log cabin which sheltered them from the elements for a few years, until they could have a better habitation. They endured the many hardships and privations of pioneer life and witnessed the great change that transformed the character of the country, for the father lived until December 10, 1899, when he passed away, while the mother died May 15, 1890. In their family were eleven children, namely: Isaac, who is now living in South Dakota; Poke, of Maquoketa; Peggy Jane, who is deceased; Sarah Jane, who has likewise passed away; Mary A., who is the widow of William O'Neil, of this county; Matilda, of Maquoketa; Melissa, who is the wife of James Preston, of Delaware county, Iowa; Elizabeth, who is the wife of John Ritcheal, of Maquoketa; Smith and Benton, who are deceased; and Douglas, who is the subject of this sketch. In the common schools of his native township Douglas Taylor acquired his education, and throughout his school period assisted his father in the work of the farm. He remained under the parental roof until he was twenty-seven years of age, when he laid the foundation for a happy home life of his own in his marriage to Miss Mary Daniels, who was born in this county, February 11, 1872. She was a daughter of Kinsey and Jane Daniels, who were natives of Pennsylvania and came to Iowa at an early date. Mr. Daniels died December 17, 1889, but his widow is still living and makes her home in this county. They were the parents of ten children. After his marriage Mr. Taylor rented the homestead for about nine years and then bought it and now owns two hundred and fifty-four acres on section 36. It is a finely developed property, well improved and maintained under a good state of cultivation, the air of neatness which pervades bespeaking thrift and progressiveness on the part of the owner. Mr. Taylor has made a specialty of raising and feeding stock of all kinds, and is known as one of the extensive cattle and hog raisers of this part of the state, carrying on a business of large proportions and of substantial profits. Eight children have been born to gladden the home of Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, namely: Elma V., whose birth occurred February 17, 1891, and who is now attending high school at Preston; Elsie, who was born May 13, 1892; Elmyra, September 16, 1893; Matilda, November 4, 1895; James L., June 11, 1897; Zola, February 19, 1903; Mary Madge, April 30, 1906; and Douglas L., February 20, 1908. Mr. Taylor is a republican, with firm faith in the principles of the party, but without desire for office, and during the long period he was a school director he proved that he was a staunch friend of education by the practical and efficient service he rendered. Fraternally he is identified with the Modern Brotherhood of America, with the Odd Fellows lodge at Preston and with the Modern Woodmen camp at Spragueville, while with his wife he belongs to the Royal Neighbors. Among his fellow members in these organizations and in the community at large he has made many stanch friends, for he is generally recognized as a man of upright and honorable life, whose success has been gained through measures that require no disguise.
