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.
