- LOTE TAYLOR, landlord TAYLOR House, Clinton Junction; born
in Buffalo, Erie Co., June
- 16, 1829; son of James TAYLOR, an old settler in New York;
Mr. TAYLOR came to Walworth Co., Wis., in February, 1849; went
to Geneva Lake; was there a number of years; removed to Richmond;
was there two years; came to Clinton in 1864, and commenced keeping
hotel in a little building near the railroad track; that he is
fully competent to run a hotel, is proved by the fact that he
now is the proprietor of one of the finest and most popular hotels
in Southern Wisconsin; by all travelers, the portly form of the
ponderous and ever-welcome landlord is recognized; his weight
had never been estimated. He married a daughter of Eliphas JOHNSON,
a native of Ohio, February, 1850. Mr. JOHNSON settled on 1,000
acres in Walworth Co., at an early date; he was much esteemed
and wealthy farmer, and died Nov. 22, 1855; he had six children;
Spencer E. JOHNSON is in De Kalb Co., Mo.; Statira married Joseph
CAHOON, and is in Appleton, Wis. Mr. and Mrs. TAYLOR have had
five children - Ella (now Mrs. RESSEGUIE), living in Aurora,
Ill.; Joseph died when 2 years old; Adelle died when 1 year old;
Jane is now Mrs. HETTE [see noe below], and is living
at home; Maud is also at home.
