Interesting:
- John died one day after his 75th birthday.
- Listed as married but his wife died in 1916, according to his gravestone.
- His parents birthplaces, in addition to being misspelled, are inverted, maybe. His census records list his Father from Kentucky and his mother from Pennsylvania.
- ETA – According to Midge – “Apoplexy is the same as a stroke. Test confirming diagnosis looks like paralysis. They had few tests available to them back then but paralysis either complete or one sided is classic. More of a symptom than a test but I think that is what it says.”
John Ammon Taylor was married to Martha Jane Burns when he died. It should have been her name given on the death certificate instead of Maren Johanne’s, who had died in 1916.
