We have seen this tablet which is from the St. George quarries. It is pronounced by experts to be as good a specimen of the products of our quarries as has yet been turned out as far as the quality of the stone is concerned, and we may add the workmanship."

A Typical and Worthy Scotchman.

His History Shows What Honesty and Perseverance Can Accomplish.

The above portrait is from a photograph recently taken for the present occasion. John Taylor, of Harvey Station, is the original. He came to this country from Scotland in 1850; was born at Whigstreet, Parish of Inverarity and County of Forfar, in 1825, and is therefore about the same age as Lieut-Governor Boyd. Mr Taylor settled on a lot of wilderness land at Tweedside, so-called, on the western shore of Oromocto Lake, in 1852, where the Swans and others had "got planted unco richt" two years previously.

Tweedside is merely an extension of Harvey on the south. It was originally termed the Campbell block, having been granted to Sir Colin Campbell. The land was divided into ten lots and sold to these people by Andrew Inches, who was then or some time shortly after dubbed by George L. Hatheway, "the king of the crown land office."

The road, instead of being a bridle path as has been said, was then at its best; better in fact than it is today, and no finer tract of land could then be seen between Fredericton and St. Andrews; and no finer farms can be seen on the same road at the present time. The first frame house was erected by Mr. Taylor.

He went on with his farming for a number of years, but when the American war broke out he turned his attention to business and opened a trade between the villages and the citizens of St. Stephen and Calais. This proved to be a lucky step for him and was a boon to the settlers as well. Fortune favored him and he began to be favorably known to the merchants of not only these towns, but Fredericton and St. John as well.

After the completion of the European and North American Railway (now the Atlantic division of the Canadian Pacific Railway) he sold his farm at Tweedside and removed to Harvey Station. Here he continued trading, and seeing that business at that place promised well, he erected a large and substantial building, the upper portion of which was designed for use as a public hall; the lower divided into two commodious stores for his own use. Previous to this he had become a shareholder in the York woolen mill, the largest mill of the kind in the province, and after a time became sole owner. Carrying on this business took him away from home a great deal and he decided to sell, which he did at a good profit.

The mill while under his control got the reputation of manufacturing an extra fine quality of goods, which reputation it has satisfactorily sustained. Mr Taylor has been twice married. His first wife was a woman of fine attainments and a sister of John and Alex Swan of Tweedside. She died in 1881. Three years after he married Phoebe Amanda, eldest daughter of the late David Hart of Fredericton Junction, a lady esteemed by all who have the pleasure of her acquaintance.

Mr Taylor has had no children of his own but has had the care of his brother's children, two boys and two girls, since they became orphans and all who know the young folks will say that he has fulfilled his duty to them in the fullest sense.

He is still hale and hearty as his picture shows. He enjoys the friendship of many prominent men through the province by whom he is esteemed and respected for his many excellent traits of character.

Three times he has been privileged to visit his native land, thus having seven times crossed the Atlantic

In his time he has contributed a good deal to the press, largely for the St. Croix Courier. His productions always show a keen foresight; a fine descriptive faculty, and an accurate estimate of men and matters. It has been said of him that he is a close observer; as glib with the pen as a true Scotchman and a worthy representative of "The land o'cakes."

From newspaper obituary (1904):

Harvey: Our readers generally will regret to hear of the death of the sturdy Scotchman, John Taylor, which occurred at his home in Harvey on January 4th. He had been in failing health for four years past. He was born May 1st, 1825, near Fotheringham, in the parish of Inverarity, Forfair, Scotland, and came to this country in 1850. He lived in Charlotte County for a while, and settled in Tweedside in 1854 and engaged in farming and trading. He went to Harvey Station in 1876.

He first married Elizabeth Swan, daughter of Henry Swan & Elizabeth Russell, 19 Aug 1857 in Harvey Settlement By Rev. Samuel Johnson . Born 1817 in Northumberland, Eng. Died 1882 in Harvey Station. Buried in Harvey Settlement Cemetery.

HARVEY STATION HALL DEDICATED

Memorial to Late John W. Taylor is Formally Opened

Harvey Station, York Co., July 31 -- Another milestone in the history of this small community was reached last Friday, when, before 400 people, the Taylor Memorial Hall was dedicated. The service was led by the chairman, D. G. Taylor, who outlined the organisation of the Harvey Improvement Association, under whose auspices the erection of the hall has been carried on. He laid stress on the fact that it was chiefly through the co-operation of the people, not only in the village but also in the outlying districts of Manners Sutton and York Mills, that this hall was built.

Rev. J. F. McKay, McAdam, gave a pleasing address, and recalled to memory John W. Taylor, in whose honor and memory the hall has been built and dedicated. He spoke of the sterling qualities of Mr Taylor.

Dr. B. H. Dougan, M.L.A., recalled the occasion of his first coming to Harvey, 30 years ago. Then a young doctor, he was given by a friend in Fredericton a list of names of people in Harvey to whom he might go as a stranger for advice and information, and at the head of this list was the name of Mr Taylor, who later became his life-long friend. Rev. George E. Knight followed with a short address, and Re. Alex MacKay led in prayer.

Dr. Dougan took the chair and a vote of thanks was extended to Mr and Mrs D. G. Taylor and Mrs Walthall, San Antonio, Texas, for the generous contributions they had made toward the hall, they having contributed in the vicinity of $2,700. The late John W. Taylor was a brother of Mrs Taylor and Mrs Walthall. D. G. Taylor replied. The program was then taken over by McDuff and Copeland, Scottish entertainers, and a pleasant evening was enjoyed.

Harvey now has a community hall of which any place might be proud, and adjoining it is a large play ground and ball field, all of which are due to the direct efforts of Mr and Mrs D. G. Taylor.

From newspaper obituary - 1951:

David G. Taylor Of Harvey Dies In 86th Year

The community was saddened when a well known summer resident, David Grant Taylor, of San Antonio, Texas, passed to his rest at Victoria Public Hospital, Fredericton, Aug 31.

Arriving in Harvey early this summer with Mrs Taylor and other relatives, Mr Taylor was stricken by an illness which gradually became worse. He was a patient for a short time in Harvey Community Hospital before being removed to Fredericton. On the morning of his death he underwent an operation and his sudden passing later in the day came as a severe shock to his relatives and friends.

Here At Age 22

Mr Taylor was born in Forfar, Scotland, Feb 28, 1866, one of a family of seven children of James and Ann (Grant) Taylor. At the age of 22 he came to Canada, arriving in Harvey Station where many relatives had settled earlier.

He soon obtained work on the Suspension Bridge at Saint John and when this job was completed went to Ontario and later to Boston where he was on the executive staff of the hardware firm of Austin and Doten, later Austin and Hastings, until his retirement in 1929.

On Christmas Day, 1894, he was united in marriage with Margaret Robison, daughter of Mr and Mrs Marshall Robison, of Harvey Station. They lived in Boston until Mrs Taylor's death in 1928, when he returned to his old home in Scotland for a visit of several months. Returning to Canada he built a home at Harvey Station where he lived until his marriage in 1930 to Miss Anne Taylor of San Antoino, Texas. Since that time he and Mrs Taylor had been regular summer visitors to Harvey where their home has always been noted for its hospitality.

Valued Citizen

Mr Taylor was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, East Boston, and was prominent in all branches of the work of the church. He was a lover of all things good and was always trying to better the lot of those less fortunate than he. For many years he contributed many fine poems to leading Boston newspapers. He was the founder of the Harvey Improvement Association and its first president, and was honorary president at the time of his death. He was instrumental in carrying out numerous public projects, one of which was the improvement in the appearance of Harvey Cemetery.

Mr Taylor is survived by his wife, one sister, Miss Sarah Taylor, of Canoustie, Scotland; a sister-in-law, Mrs Thomas J. Walthall, of San Antonio, Texas, at present in Harvey; a brother-in-law, John Petrie, Edzell, Scotland; three grand nieces and a grand nephew all in Scotland.

Funeral Sunday

The largely attended funeral was held Sunday afternoon Sept 2, at 2.30 o'clock, at St. James United Church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. John L. Rose, assisted by Rev. Atholl H. Sproule of Knox Presbyterian Church, Harvey.

The bearers were James Ritchie, Marshall Robison, Jack Coburn, Sydney MacLean, Karl Byers and Daryl Murray. Interment took place in the Harvey Cemetery. The floral tributes were beautiful.

Among those attending the funeral were Mr and Mrs Leonard J. Gay, Sussex; Mr and Mrs Urban Caulfield, Grand Bay; Mr and Mrs Atcheson, Houlton; and Mr and Mrs Purdy Cougle, Woodstock.

He first married Margaret R. Robison, daughter of Marshall Robison & Mary Herbert, 25 Dec 1894 in York Co., NB. Born 6 Jul 1867 in Harvey. Died 9 Feb 1928 in Somerville, Mass. Buried in Harvey Settlement Cemetery.

Maggie married David G. Taylor on Christmas Day 1894 and moved to Boston where he was employed by Austin & Doten as a commercial salesman. After her death in Somerville, Mass., David married his cousin Anne Taylor.

Mr Taylor and his family were at breakfast when the accident happened. It has thrown a gloom over the community. The young man was twenty-two years of age and was a general favorite in the parish where he was born."
