Obituary for Henry H. Taylor from the Montello Express (Marquette Co., WI).

May 1882 - "Death's Doings: During the period of last week, two good men died: H H Taylor, of Oxford in this county, and P Walsh, of Kingston, Green Lake Co. Both of them were lawyers and both had been long in the profession. In spite of all fortitude, faith or philosophy, it is a gloomy picture to look at. Death is a sad event at any time. But to write the obituary of good and useful man, a special and particular friend, is the most unpleasant task that falls to the lot of a public newspaper.
H H Taylor died on the morning of May 20th, of typhoid pneumonia, at the age of 56 years. This sickness followed a severe cold taken eleven days before his death. Mr. Taylor had lived in this county some twenty-eight years, and probably no man in the county was better acquainted, and no man ever lived in the county who was more deserving of a good name, and no man had earned for himself a better reputation. While Mr. Taylor has had some opponents, he had but few enemies. And the sole reason for his opponents and for his few enemies, was because he was a good and strictly honest. Such men are never liked by bad men. Some good men however, to our certain knowledge, have sometimes mistaken his real motives and merits. It is a sad thing and a great loss to have such a man die.".
