Notes from Fed Census, 1870 recorded and printed on 9-17-2003 by Judy Taylor Graham: Abel and Amanda Taylor were living in Palmyra, Jefferson Co. WI in 1870. living with them were: Mary Bicknell age 17, Nellie Bicknell, age 11 and Charles Taylor, age 3 So apparently Mary went by the name of Bicknell! Abel was born in England (that's right) and Amanda was born in Maine (also correct.) Census was taken June 14, 1870. Also living in Palmyra in 1870 were Amanda's sister Jane and hubby H.D. Sprague. Jane was 38, b. in Maine, kept house, Sprague was 56, born in New York, a blacksmith. Their children were Walter N. 14, Emma, 9, and Fop, Rose A. age 16. (do not know that name). Abel's son George was listed as living in Town of Otsego, Columbia Co. WI (post office Rio, WI)George was 43, a farmer, born in NY, his wife Maria was 32, born in New York Their children (which matches the number that Aunt Lil sent me but she didn't have the girls' names) Austin, age 14,Hellen, age 12, Alice, age 9, (cannot read the name, looks like Yasamen, Male, age 7,) Estelle, age 4, and Geroge, 9 months. And living in Village of Kilbourn City, Columbia County, WI was William Cummings, age 38, born in England, and his wife Harriet, age 28. (Amanda's daughter) I found nothing on Dan Bicknell. Wonder if he had another name?>> Wisconsin 1880 census shows Charles E. Taylor [13], living with his parents Abel and Amanda Taylor in Wilton, Monroe County, Wisconsin. They moved to Truax Prairie, Town of Union (Eau Claire County, Wisconsin}, in 1881. Obit of Charles E. Taylor mailed to me from Kathleen Martin (descendant of Mary Elizabeth Moffit who Amanda and Able helped raise after her mother Sarah Moffit died in Jefferson Co. Wis sometime after1852}. >> Nov. 5, 1948 Charles Edward Taylor, 81, town of Union, resident of Union for the past 69 years, died at 5 a.m. Sunday, at a local hospital. He is survived by three sons, Clyde A. Watertown,Mayson D. town of Union, Luther D. State Street Road, Eau Claire; and nine grandchildren. Funeral services will be held on Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. from Stoke and Sons chapel, the Rev. Alfred J. Ward officiating. Interment will be in the Lake View Cemetery. Friends my call at the funeral home Tuesday afternoon and evening and Wednesday until the time of the services.>> Charles Edwin Taylor, had worked for the railroad out at Truax, a railroad community that no longer exists. It was located south of the existing Truax Congregational church on highway "TT". Charles had a job caring for the warning lights that told a train engineer that another train was on the tracks. Charles would light the kerosene lights at dusk and turn them off in the morning. It should be noted that the Truax Congregational Church is at the intersection of "TT" and the County Line road. The Truax community was about a mile south, next to the railroad tracks. Apparently it was Charles Edwin Taylor who had bought the farm that Luther and his brothers grew up on.
