TAYLOR, Theodore
==========================================================================
Theodore Taylor, farmer, Section 35, was born in Wilson, Niagara Co.,
N.Y., May 17, 1831; became a resident of this state in 1839, residing in
Leroy, Calhoun Co., and in May, 1850, moved to Big Prairie, Newaygo Co.,
where he resided until March, 1861, when he settled on his present place.
He has followed lumbering and farming, having passed, during his residence
in this state, a number of Autumns and Winters in the pine woods, during a
portion of the time as a jobber, the balance as a scaler, and spending the
rest of the year on his farm, which ranks with the best in the township.
Of late years he has paid considerable attention to fruit culture, and at
the Fall fairs, for a number of years, he has had the finest collections
of fruit that have been placed on exhibition.  He married, April 15, 1852,
Miss Julia Swain, and they have a family of four children -- Elliot J.,
Nelson A., Mary E. and Rosa E.
