     He Charlotte (2156), James Henry (2158), Stephen Livingston (2168), May (2288) and Robert Longley(2159) have been included in this family based on some entries on the web and at Hamilton College, however, various censuses show that these children are most likely the children of a James H. Taylor, clergyman, and his wife, Francis (See 1900 census, Census Place: Kirkland, Oneida, New York; Roll: T623 1131; Page: 9B; Enumeration District: 21.) He "It is said that President Taylor's presence inspired a feeling of awe, for no one approached him without removing his hat, and all the students when passing his residence, whether in storm or sunshine, kept their heads uncovered until the grounds were cleared. He governed his children and the pupils under his care by a word or a look, not by the rod. Scranton, Pa., was founded by one of Mrs. Taylor's family. Taylor is a suburb of that town, and Bromley avenue is one of the city's thoroughfares."

"Had Benj. F. Taylor been willing to put the requisite labor on his productions--which breathe the soul of poetry, combining brilliant imagery with wonderful conceits--his name would rank high among the poets of the age. My acquaintance with Taylor began before he was associated with the Journal, when he was teaching school, on La Salle street. I assisted the boys in stage work for an exhibition that was held in the saloon building at the close of school; upon which service he placed a higher value than he should have done. He and Dr. J. H. Bird were intimate; the office of the doctor, over J. H. Reed & Co.'s drug store, being used during one of the cholera seasons as a bed-room for the two. Taylor was very much afraid of the epidemic, and frequently ran up to the
doctor's office during the day to consult him upon some imaginary symptom of the disease, which one of Bird's harmless charcoal and sulphur pills, aided by faith in the doctor and the vivid imagination of the poet, invariably relieved. He had many of the characteristics which we are accustomed to associate with genius, being improvident, procrastinating, and a brilliant conversationalist. As an instance of his procrastination, Shurman once told me that he promised the carriers of three papers a New Year's address, and on the evening of the last day in the year, he had not written a line. The messengers were frantic, but B. T. smilingly requested the boys to be seated, and in a few minutes he handed one of them a stanza with an order to hurry back and he would have another ready for him. Then beginning another poem for his nervous news-slinger, he soon had him rushing to his paper with a single verse, and thus he wrote alternately parts of two different poems in his best vein, winding up
with a third for the Journal. He lived a number of years at Winfield, on the Galena division of the Northwestern, and we frequently sat together on the cars. Once upon my struggling in with a large turkey, he commenced
decrying the prize fowl of the banquet table, winding up with the remark that it owed its reputation exclusively to the herbs and care taken in its preparation, that without those concomitants it would be no better than crow. His laugh rang through the car when I replied, I never thought he had gone so far into politics as to be obliged to ascertain the flavor of crow."

"It was a remark of his that he could always determine a man's financial standing by the train he took. If his income depended on his own exertions he took the eight o'clock; if upon the labor of others, the ten thirty; if independent of both, the afternoon train; while if quite wealthy, he waited till the next day."
