Obituary
Unidentified Newsclipping - 1893

Rev. Henry B. Taylor was born in South Hero, Grand Isle County, Vt., March 8, 1822, and died in the town of Mooers, New York, January 30, 1893. He was converted to Christ at the age of seventeen. He wrote and had published but a short time before his death a genealogy of the Taylor family. In it he tells us that soon after conversion "his father, who had for nearly forty years been a Universalist, was led to renounce his dependence on that hope, and to accept Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour. The mother, who had indulged a hope in Christ as her Saviour, but had never made any public profession, was led to give glory to God for the salvation of herself and family. All united with the Methodist Episcopal church, and for nine years thereafter weekly prayer meetings were held in the father's house."
In a little more than two years from the time of his conscious acceptance of the Lord he was licensed to exhort. Believing that he was called of God to the Gospel ministry, he proposed to take a college course to qualify him more efficiently for that great work. He entered Troy Conference Academy; but through the urgent entreaties of friends, and a scarcity of means to meet the expenses of a college course of study, he was induced to enter the ministry without further school preparation. In the spring of 1844 he offered himself to Troy Conference. It was judged best by his friends that he should be employed a year by the Presiding Elder before admission into the Conference. He was therefore sennt as a Supply to Ellenburg Mission. "In 1845 he was admitted into Troy Conference and appointed to Champlain Circuit with Rev. Oliver Emmons Spicer for preacher in charge." "In 1846 he was appointed to Essex, New York, with Rev. Seymour Colman, preacher in charge." During this year he manifested a special talent in getting subscriptions, letting contracts, and managing all the business of church building. In 1847 he was appointed to Isle La Motte, Vermont. Here was an unfinished church with a debt of a few hundred dollars already upon it, and his talent for church building was called into requisition.
At the Conference of 1848 he was appointed a traveling agent for Troy Conference Academy. At the Conference of 1849 the trustees of the academy "asked for his reappointment as agent, but Bishop Leonidas Lent Hamline refused, and appointed him to Pleasant Valley, in Albany District. After Conference the trustees felt the need of his services so greatly that they induced the Rev. J. Lindsey, Presiding Elder of his district, to release him from his charge," and he returned to Poultney as agent for the academy. By his indefatigable labors throughout the entire extent of the Conference, in 1850 the academy was pronounced out of debt. In 1850 and 1851 he was appointed to Warren Circuit; 1852, Berkshire, Vt.; 1853, "financial agent of Troy Conference Academy;" 1854, located, and associated with Dr. Joseph Elijah King at Fort Edward Institute as "financial agent and librarian." He remained in this position until 1858, then removed to Illinois and joined Southern Illinois Conference, and was appointed to Jerseyville, Illinois. In 1859 he was transferred to Central Illinois Conference, and appointed Principal of Fulton Seminary, Lewison, Ill., remaining there three years. In 1862 he was appointed pastor at Greenville, Ill., and to take charge of the public school at that place. In 1863 he was reappointed.
In the autumn of 1863, while gathering fruit, the limb on which he stood broke, and he fell to the ground, sustaining an injury of his spine which paralyzed his lower extremities. In 1864 he superannuated and removed to Mooers, New York. In 1878 he was transferred to Troy Conference and placed on the superannuated list. Since his removal to Mooers, after sufficiently recovering from his injuries to be moved, he has been a constant sufferer, but his sufferings have been borne with Christian patience.
He has always shown a great interest in the Church and in every good work, and especially in the missionary cause. To his pastor, who, entering his room a day or two before his death, asked: "How do you do today, Father Taylor?" His answer was "Well, I think I am pretty near heaven." He leaves a wife, four sons, and two daughters, all of them walking on the King's highway to join the husband and father in the palace of the King. In a telegram of condolence to Sister Taylor, Dr. J. E. King said: "A great soul went heavenward when your noble husband died."
