W. Y. TAYLOR was born in Virginia, in 1842, where he became a member of
the M. E. Church, South, and was licensed to preach; but, after a thorough
investigation of New Testament teaching, he united with the Church of
Christ at Hopkinsville, Ky., in the year of grace 1872. He married Miss
Mattie A. Surber of Kentucky in 1864, and came to Texas in 1875. He
preached two years for the church at Ft. Worth, and four years at
Weatherford. His life has been largely spent in the school room, for which
position his education and habits eminently qualify him. He is now at the
head of a large and flourishing school at Beeville, Texas.
