C. W. Taylor

As printed in 1882

C. W. TAYLOR, cashier of the Bank of Hopkins, was born August 14, 1858, in Pike County, Illinois. The family moved to Hartford, Connecticut, when Charles was quite young, and when eight years of age he accompanied his parents west to Wataga, Illinois. Two years later they moved to Taylor County, Iowa, where they resided some nine years. During two years of this time Mr. Taylor made his home in Bedford. Being somewhat frail in his younger days he could not attend school, and his education was derived principally by self application, though he did attend the high school and normal, at Bedford. When nineteen years of age he commenced teaching, and afterwards accepted the position of deputy county clerk of Taylor County, Iowa. This office he held before becoming of age. He continued to occupy it two years satisfactorily to all parties interested. In April, 1879, he made his first visit to Hopkins, and upon returning to Bedford accepted the position of assistant cashier in the Citizens Bank of that place. In January, 1880, he entered upon the duties of his present position as cashier of the Bank of Hopkins, which he fills with credit to himself and to his employers. In the discharge of his duties he uses scrupulous care and fidelity, and well merits the esteem in which he is held by a host of friends. Mr. Taylor was married December 24, 1880, to Miss Susy E. Seaman, a native of Evansville, Wisconsin. She was born November 8, 1859, hut was principally reared in Maryville, Nodaway County, Missouri, receiving her education in the schools of that city. Mr. and Mrs. T. attend the Presbyterian Church.
