of Hitchcock county riled at hi
home In OstfcMtSS last Friday morn
ing, January .'!. Hc had been 111 for
a lotiiR time. IiIh condition having;
be?n gerioua evr since the elect icn
In November. He wrnt alxty-flve
year old. Ilecauae of the leading
part he h.ts taken for a number of
years in the work of the State legis
lature he will be greatly missed, not
only by the people of his home coun
ty but of the entire wtate as well.
The following sketch of Mr. Tny
lor'a life la taken from the Nebras
ka State Journal of last Saturday:
V. Z. Taylor was bom in Kent tie
ky In 1848. reared on the farm and
educated In the common schools and
Simpson academy. Served in the un
ion army: esbool teacher, f, inner,
inerrhant. OMM to Hitchcock coun
ty In 1ST::, county clerk ten years,
admitted to practice law 1885, county
attorney four years, member of leg
islature !glit years, clerk In senate
IHH7. secretary Southwestern Ne
braska cattle growers' association
eight years, member state board of
agriculture, vice president Nebraska
humane society, vice president Ne
braska state board of irrigation.
Held many commissiona under atate
and national government, nullt first
frame house In Hitchcock county and
first frame house In Dundy. First
postmaster at Collinsvllle, now Jlen
kelman. Kstablished first newspaper
In Hitchcock county In 1878. He was
elected to the legislatures of W09
and 1IHI. and also to ItlS. and was
mentioned as a candidate for speak
er of the house for the coming ses
sion. Mr. Taylor was also a member
of IBS legislature four years previ
ously. Mr. Tnylor always accept ed with
mergy the most arduous task that
falls to MM lot of legislator in com
mittee work, chairman of enrolled
and engrossed bills. This position
was important, since the validity of
measures depended upon the accur
acy witii which their record was
kept in. especial bobby ta two s
lsl.iiuies was stockyard regulation.
Two years ago his measure of this
nature passed both houses and was
defeated by the governor's veto. Tin
OUtl regulatory bill went through in
Its place. Mr. Taylor never quite
forgave Governor Aldrlch for that
veto.
Four years ago Mr. Taylor cham
pioned several measures for the
state humane society and with BtSCB
success, although the advocacy of
some of them was not popular. He
was, while in the session where the
liquor question figured prominently,
an uncompromising opponent ol the
i raffle.
In his youth Mr. Taylor had been
troubli d with weak lungs. He came
a Nebraska on thfit account and
settled in Hitchcock oooaty as one of
its mrly settlers. lie successfully
staved Off the trouble which did not
contribute to his final demise. Po
litically he was originally a republi
can and was familiar with the days
w In ii the machine ruled.
