Thanks for researching this article and making available all the background information on the life of Mr. Taylor. It is important that information on those before us is not loss. Articles like this provide historical data on lives and events preceding us. As a VOCA member passing thru a cemetary this type of background info would not be available in passing. I often wonder about the life of the individual who I might be standing before.

Thanks for unwrapping another layer of the onion (organic). Those archives have so much great stuff. Neat to hear about history of Oakledge, Overlake, the nursery etc etc.
Can’t wait to see what the next layer is in future blogs…

Thanks for the research Julie. Always informative and necessary to learn of the pieces of history that are part of the founding of the Farms. Well done!

Julie,
This history is so important for those of us who grew up knowing some of Electra Havemeyer Webb and Lillian Carlisle Baker's elaborate stories.
Lovely job, and best to you and your girls.
Ruthie

Thank you so much, Julie! Your research into Taylor is fascinating. I am always interested in learning more about the area and especially The Farms!

Great info on Mr. Taylor who was clever enough to gather all those acres for the Webbs and then be so creative in pulling them together into the beautiful setting we all enjoy today. He did it when many people would have retired to one of the rocking chairs on the porch!
