TAYLOR, GILBERT HIRAM:  (The Republican, Coldwater, Branch Co., Michigan, August 4, 1876)  Quincy Items - Quincy, Aug. 3, 1876--The terrible calamity which has fallen upon your city casts its shadow darkly over Quincy also. Mr. Taylor was for many years a resident here, and his aged parents and his sister, Mrs. T.P. Smith, now lives here. It is less than a year since an elder brother, Mr. William Taylor, was killed in this town by an accident. Both brothers had suffered loss of property by fire within a few years. Another brother, John Taylor, died in the army, while the only one now living, Jay Taylor, of Elkhart, Indiana, lost a limb when a boy. Their mother has been blind for several years. It is a sad case of family affliction and bereavement and calls for earnest and hearty sympathy. Plans were being perfected for an excursion of all our Sunday schools to Bawbeese Lake, but now the general expression is we cannot go there.
