Miscellaneous papers, including a seven-page biographical tribute to Taylor written by her daughter, Margaret T. Miller, beginning with her birth in 1868 to Wesley and Elizabeth (Shults) Atwater.
Ella's father was a Methodist minister and the family moved from Packwaukee (Wisconsin), to small towns near La Crosse, to River Falls, and finally to South Dakota. Wesley Taylor followed Ella to South Dakota where they married and homesteaded near Whitewood before moving back to River Falls around 1900. The tribute also includes reminiscences by others of Ella's character and Methodist faith. Three clippings on Taylor's 98th and 100th birthdays are also included.
