Frank's
farming was primarily livestock with hay and pastureland, which he carefully
conserved with terraces and waterways built mostly by Marion Dougherty or Wayne
Pace. He milked Holstein cows, first by hand and when the electricity came,
with a Surge milker. He raised Herford cattle and later crossbreds and
Yorkshire, Hampshire, Poland China cross hogs. Frank also raised egg-laying hens, capons and later
sheep.
Frank had lots of help on weekends and during winter
months, with the cattle, livestock and mending fences amidst gooseberry and

family, Don Pace and Max Haidsiak and his several energetic sons and daughters
and on weekends Don and Clara Tribolet's sons.

freely, worried about other people's troubles, was very loyal and sympathetic
to his friends and anyone else he thought meant well and always active at
something. He practiced his hobby of farming in order to afford to carry on his
avocation of talking and taking trips; and expressed gratitude that Gwendolyn was with him in what turned out
to be his final hours.

Taylor
Chas.
Taylor died at his home in Bedford this morning at 9:50
o'clock, age 68 years, 7 months, and 15 days. Mr. Taylor was one of the old settlers of this county,
having lived here prior to the war. During the rebellion he served his country
as a member of the 4th Missouri S. M., and his record as a soldier is as free
from stain as is his record as a man.
For
a long time Mr. Taylor has
been an invalid, and he has realized for months that he could never regain his
health. He had suffered so long and had endured so much, that death to him was
but a happy release from a world where pain was always present.
The
deceased leaves of his immediate family, a wife and two children, his daughter Miss
May resides at home; the son, W.
L. Taylor lives at Dwina,
Virginia.
The
funeral services will be held at the home at 2 p. m. Thursday conducted by

Helene
Jeanne Grimm Tillman was born
January 31, 1923 on the family farm west of Sharpsburg, Iowa. She was the
second of three children born to Leonard Grimm and Mable C. Clark Grimm. She attended Sharpsburg school until 1936 when
her family moved to Osceola, Missouri, where she graduated from high school in
1940. Along with her family, she moved to Kansas City, Missouri where she was
employed at the North American Aviation Company, which was a bomb making
facility.
On
Armistice Day, November 11, 1943, she was sworn in and entered the United
States Navy. She attended training schools in New York City and Norman,
Oklahoma before being assigned to Cabaniss Field in Corpus Christie, Texas, as
an aviation machinist mate and mechanic. It was here that she met Frank
E.[dward] Tillman and the couple was married March 3, 1945 at
Frank's aunt and uncle's home in Bakersfield, California. The couple and their
three children resided in Bakersfield until 1961 when they moved north to
Rodeo, California, in the San Francisco Bay area. The couple lived here until Frank's retirement in 1975, and then
moved to Sharpsburg, Iowa, fulfilling Jeanne's dream of "returning home" and living
closer to her parents and other relatives and friends. She and Frank enjoyed the pace of life in Taylor County.
Jeanne had an adventuresome spirit, and enjoyed being
active. She was an avid reader, who enjoyed a good mystery. Many hours were
spent in her garden tending to her flowers and produce. She indulged in oil
painting, drawing, sculpting with clay, sewing and styling clothes, cake
decorating, flower crafting and authored short stories and poetry when she was
younger. Even though she could taxi an airplane, she never learned to drive,
but that didn't stop her from traveling, as she would often visit friends, go "goody
shopping" at the second hand stores and was known to have pulled a slot
machine handle from time to time! Her family, however, was most important, and
she cherished the time spent with them. She had been a member of the Wavettes
Association.
Jeanne is survived by her three children, Veronica A.
[nnette] Hernandez and husband Larry, who just recently moved to Sharpsburg from
Rodeo, California; James E. Tillman and wife Linda of
Pinole, California; and April D. [ianne] Mains and husband Jay of Sharpsburg; a sister, June Anderson of Sharpsburg; six grandchildren, Stephanie
England, Marc Whitacre, Betsy Dye, Larry Hernandez, Jr., September Estrella and Adea Estrella; and fourteen great grandchildren.
