JOSEPH TAYLOR
JOSEPH TAYLOR was born March
10, 1856, in Elkhorn Township, San Joaquin County, the son of James and Mary
(Fraser) Taylor, both natives of Scotland. (See sketch of the mother and father
for genealogy).
Joseph was raised on the farm on which he
was born, and still remains on a portion of it, of 240 acres situated on the
Stockton and Sacramento road, twelve miles from Stockton and two from Lodi. He
does a general farming business.
Mr. Taylor was married September 13, 1879,
to Miss Anna F. Buckley, daughter of E. D. and Margaret (Shay) Buckley, now
residents of Oakland, who came to California in the ‘50s. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor
have one child, a daughter, named Gretta. They have a neat and tidy home, one
that will attract the attention of any one who admires a well-kept place. Mr.
Taylor is a person who, once met, is not easily forgotten. His home is made
pleasant by his sociability and hospitality.
