TAYLOR

JOHN TAYLOR (Sept. 27, 1868 - Apr. 1, 1912) m. after 31 May, 1895 to

EMILY C. McEWEN (Sept. 27, 1870 - May 5, 1921), daughter of William and Jane Montgomery McEwen of Campbellton, Lot 21. They resided in Stanley Bridge close to the pre- sent church. JOHN was a carpenter. EMILY took in boarders and travellers who came to the village as traders. Various records state that this home was also classed as an hotel, probably the Stanley Inn. They took over the same business as had been in operation when the Bell family

resided in the home. The Masonic men recorded in their minutes that they used to have lunches after their meetings

at the Stanley Inn. No doubt the men were treated to lunches by Christy and Emma Bell before 1900, as well as the Taylor hospitality after the house was sold to the Taylor family.

JOHN and EMILY McEWEN TAYLOR had three children. 1. William m. Georgie McKenzie and they lived in New Glasgow.

2. Donald m. Mildred Whitehead and lived at Stanley Bridge, Clinton, and Kensington,

3. Catherine m. Rutherford Cotton and lived at Stanley Bridge for a short time before moving to New London. Here they operated a General store business. Rutherford was also a well known carpenter in the area. One of his noted projects was the building of the church in Stanley Bridge after it was destroyed by fire in 1930. Catherine worked as the Secretary at the Stanley Bridge Dairy.

Catherine and Rutherford had one daughter, Emily. Emily m. Robert Morrison who operates a large farm, which borders on

Mclntyre's Creek, in New London.
