Golden Wedding

A goodly number of the relatives and friends of Mr. and Mrs. J.A. Taylor assembled at their residence on Thursday evening, Jan. 4th, to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding day. the hours passed joyously in social interchanges, especially at the supper tables, where excellent and bountiful things were served in polite style. At a late hour brief remarks and prayer were made by the Rev. C.N. Stowers and the company retired with many kind wishes for that intelligent and Christian family.

Mr. Taylor was born in Hartford, Washington County [NY] in 1794.  Mrs. Taylor, then Sarah Austin, was born in the same town in 1796.  The ancestors of this family formed a part of the Plymouth Colony of Massachusetts in 1684, and the descendants are scattered throughout the country, many of whom have held eminent positions in public life.  Mr. T.'s grandfather was captain of a privateer in the Revolutionary struggle.  His father was Major in the war of 1812.  He also had three uncles who served in the army of the Revolution.  Mrs. T.'s father occupied various public stations in the State and was the man who introduced the bill to free the slaves of New York.

Both branches of the family have been distinguished for their Christian integrity.  Mr. Taylor's grandfather died on his knees, praying.  Before retiring to this village in April last, they had lived forty-eight years on one farm in Mentz, Cayuga County [NY] where they exerted no ordinary influence by their wealth, intelligence and Christianity.  May God make peace for and prosperous their declining days.  And blessed be God who giveth us such families.
