CELEBRATES 80th BIRTHDAY
On Monday of this week Mr. John
W. Taylor, of town, celebrated his
80th birthday and a number of re
latives and friends dropped ip on
him to extend their congratulations
and to wish him many happy re
turns. Mr. Taylor has just come
through a serious illness with pneu
monia and has not regained his
strength as yet but it is slowly com
ing back and as far as looks goes he
would pass for one many years
younger. During. the greater part
of his life Mr.’Taylor has been close
ly identified with the interests of
Exeter, and it must b.e some satis
faction to him to know that he has
had no little part in helping to shape
what we, as citizens, consider one
of the finest small towns in Western
Ontario. For twenty-one years Mr.
Taylor held municipal offices in Ex
eter and many of the permanent im
provements we now enjoy lie helped
to father. For six years Mr. Taylor
sat in the Reeve’s chair—in 1910
and 11 and again in 1914-15-16.
He was the last Deputy-reeve for
Exeter. •
Mr. Taylor was born in Picker-
Tp. Ontario County. At the age of
ten years he moved with his parents
to a farm oil the 9th concession of
Usborne and the early years of his
life Were spent in assisting to clear
the farm where he became well ac
quainted with all the hardships of
pioneer life. At the age of 21 Mr.
Taylor started to learn the carpent
er trade and after serving an ap
prenticeship for three years he
started for himself. In April, 1876
when the planing mill in town was
run by Ross Brothers and Davidson
Mr. Taylor started to work for them
and the following year he took over
Mr. Davidson’s interests and the
firm was known as Ross Bros. &
Taylor, with the late Dan Ross and
Mr. J. P. Ross, of Calgary, as part
ners. At that time there was only
one man in busines in Exeter who is
at present doing business here and
that was Dr. J. W. Browning. Mr.
Taylor was identified with the Ross
& Taylor Co. from 1877 to 1905
when it was incorporated as the
Ross-Taylor Co., Limited, and since
that time while not actively in con
trol he has been associated with the
business.Among the relatives who visited
With Mr. Taylor on Monday were

rink carried off the Ontario trophy,
the premier competition of the an

wonderful bowling in the first two
ends, which resulted in single shots
for the Londoners but the third end
was disastrous for Rickie as the
