missionary to Liberia, was received by him into the
church, Licensed to exhort and preach, and assisted
him greatly in revival work. About 180 were added
to the church. Large collections were taken for
missions, two new churches dedicated, a new
parsonage built at Johnsburg, and church and
parsonage rebuilt at Warrensburg in those two
years.
At the Conference he was arraigned by his Presiding
Elder, S. Washburn, for mal-administration of
Discipline in receiving a man who had been expelled
on another charge. Fortified witha letter from E.
Hedding, oldest Bishop of the church, he was after
a trial in open Comference, axquitted by a nearly
unanimous vote. He was then sent to Berkshire
Circuit, with residence at Montgomery, Vt., and had
to preach in Montgomery, Richford, Berkshire and
Enosburg.
His second son, William Uberto, was born at Mooers,
June 12, about the time of Conference. In that
summer his nephew, William E. Taylor, died at his
father's house at Pike's River, P. Q. In the fall,
Rev. John Newman, the financial agent of the Troy
Conference Academy, visited him at Montgomery with
an invitation from the trustees to take charge of
the financial affairs of the institution. This he
accepted and moved about the first of December,
1852, to Poultney, and took charge as steward and
financial agent, Rev. Jason F. Walker being
principal. The Academy had again become involved,
and it was thought he could work it out of its
embarassment. But Mr. Walker proved to be very
impracticable and wxtravagant, and such difficulties
arose about some things that the trustees were
appealed to, but sustained the steward.
His father and mother came to live with him in the
Academy, and in the summer of 1853 his father died
and was buried in the cemetery at Poultney.
After the opening of the fall term in 1853, a
terrible epi

Page 27

demic broke out in the Academy, several pupils died,
many were sick, and the school was nearly destroyed,
Mr. Walker made a proposition to the trustees to
lease the Academy, and in consideration of the
small number of pupils and the loss involved in
mantaining a full faculty with Steward, etc., they
accepted his offer, and Henry B. moved into a house
in the village and devoted his time to collecting
debts due the Academy, settlement of claims, etc.
etc. At that time great schools on the joint stock
plan were exciting much attention and he visited
Joseph E. King at Newbury, Vt., in the fall of 1853,
and consulted him about taking a permanent lease
of Troy Conference Academy, enlarging and improving
it. But the neglect of Vermont to aid her Academies
was a great drawback, and Prof. King much preferred
going to New York State, where the Academies had
aid from the literature fund; so Pro. King made an
engagement with an academy at Fort Plain, N.Y. In
the winter Henry B. went to Richmondville and
Charlotteville, in Schoharie County, N.Y. and was
greatly inpressed with the possibilities of such
mammoth schools to use organized labor, with steam
power and machinery in the boarding department and
of large classed in all branches in the departments
of instruction.
Having been informed that the people at Fort Edward,
N.Y., wished to established such a school at that
place, he went to Fort Plain and laid plans of a
building to accommodate about 500 boarding pupils
before Prof. King. The plans impressed the Professor
as better than any building known to him, and an
agreement was made to seek a place for the erection
of such a building. Prof. King agreed to see and
correspond with parties in western New York, and
Henry B. was to see the people at Fort Edward. The
way did not open into western New York, being
blocked by the obligation of the Conferences to the
Acad

Page 28

emy at Lim, N.Y. Henry B. found George Harvey of
Fort Edward ready to take prompt action, and in a
day an arrangement was made with the leading men
to call a public meeting and organize a company to
build a mammoth Seminary. The meeting was held,
addressed by Prof. King and H. B. Taylor, a
subscription started, and about $12,000 subscribed.
An organization was effected the next day, trustees
appointed and a contract made for the building to
be erected December 1, following, and leased to
King and Taylor for a term of ten years.
Henry B. was employed to make plans, obtain subscriptions,
collect funds and to oversee the construction of
the buildings, buying furniture, etc. George Harvey
was resident agent. It was a stupendous undertaking.
To erect a brick building 300 feet long, 40 feet
deep, five stories high, with a wing 40x130, wash-
house, barn, etc. Removing his family to a house
in the village, Henry B. gave every hour to the
work. He visited the Conference at Montreal, P.Q.,
and enlisted the members in the enterprise, raising
some stock. It was soon found that he was required
at the site to give direction to the building; and
in its erection he could literally say he saw and
tested every stick of timber in that vast building.
It was so far competed that it was opened as advertised,
Dec. 7, 1854, with over 500 pupils in the boarding
department. Jan. 1, 1855, his third son, Henry
Lewis, was born in the Institute.
Until the summer of 1858 he remained in the Institute
as "Financial Agent and Librarian." The school was
larger the second year than the first, having over
550 boarders at the opening of the winter term.
During the time he was in the Institute he furnished
plans for a State Agricultural College at Ovid,
N.Y., for which he was paid the second prize of
$100. He also went on invitation

Page 29

to Aurora, Ill., and furnished plans for Clark Seminary
(now "Jennings,") a beautiful stone structure built
at that place. During 1855-6, his mother lived in
the Institute with him. In the summer of 1856 she
was visiting old friends and relatives at Milton,
Vt., when she sickened and died at the home of T.P.
Phelps, Aug 5, 1856, and was buried in West Milton
cemetery. In the fall Henry B. took an active part
in the canvass for Fremont and Dayton, having a
large map in colors to illustrate the conflict
between slavery and freedom, and spoke in several
towns in Washington and Warren counties. In the
summer of 1858, he arranged with his partner to
leave his interest in the Institute lease, and went
to Rockford, Ill., expecting to aid in building a
large Seminary there. But, after the plans,
contracts, etc., were well matured, the men of
means among the Trustees refused to sign the bonds
and the whole thing fell through. He then went to
the seat of the Southern Illinois Conference, was
admitted to it on certificate of location, and
appointed to Jerseyville, Ill. His family, who had
been visiting at Mooers, joined him and a happy,
prosperous year was passed in that place.
In the fall, "Jennie Love," 19 months old-- born
in Fort Edward Institute, _ was taken home to Jesus.
At the solicitation of R.F. Weston, he went to Lewiston,
Ill., and entered into an engagement to take charge
of Lewiston Seminary, which was to be enlarged and
controlled by him for ten years. A large farm was
bought and laid off into lots which Mr. Weston was
to sell. L.F. Ross was joined in the enterprise to
furnish needed capital.
Believing it to be a good chance to build up a
large and useful Seminary, Henry B. moved up across
the country in the fall of 1859 and opened the
school with a --npetent faculty. But it proved an
ill-starred enterprise,

Page 30

several things conspiring to make it a disastrous
failure. A railroad, nearly completed, which was
relied upon to make the lots valuable, hung fire;
and the rebellion, succeeding the election of
Lincoln in 1860, with the low condition of schools
in that part of the State, made success impossible.
He struggled through three years, then gave up in
despair. All the means realized by selling his
interest in Fort Edward, all his savings and
patrimony were swallowed up and lost in that
misadventure and he was heavily in debt.
Charles Frederick and Carrie May were born in that
Seminary. In the fall of 1861 he was called East
to give testimony in a law suit about Fort Edward
Institute matters, and visited Mooers and Pike
River. Returning, he was invited by Capt. Frank
Palmer, of the 16th N.Y. Vols., to go to the front
and apply for the Chaplaincy of that regiment.
He visited the regiment at Fort Lyon, near
Alexandria, Va., and other camps but found no
opening. Returning to Chicago, he visited the camp
of the 55th Ill., where he met many friends. After
reaching home at Lewiston, he heard that he had
been appointed Quarter-master of the 55th, but all
the efforts of his friends to notify him of the
appointment had failed in a most singular manner.
He then spent several weeks in raising recruits for
the 56th Illinois, but on arriving in camp, found
the regiment filled by consolidation with another,
and so failed to get work in the army.
In the summer of 1862 he was engaged to take charge
of the public school at Greenville, Ill., and to
serve as Pastor of the M. E. Church. He then moved
down across the country and the family stopped at
the farm until some repairs could be made on the
parsonage. All but Henry L. were very sick with the
fever and ague, so he hired a house, and removed to
Greenville when all recovered. At the end of the
year he was re-en

Page 31

gaged, and Mrs. Taylor went to Mooers, N.Y., for a
visit. Soon after her return he went with B.S. and
W.U. one Saturday to gather some fruit at an
orchard in Dudleyville, and there met with the terrible
disaster of his life. Stepping from the wagon box
to a limb of a tree to pick fruit, the limb broke,
he fell a few feet to the ground, and his spine
was permanently injured. On trying to rise he was
pierced with dreadful pains and could not sit up.
Who can describe the agony of that hour? Conscious
of a terrile hurt, with the possibility of a life
of helpless dependence before him, the thought of
his family dependent on him for support, filled
him with darkness and dismay. But soon the thought
of Him in whom he had long believed and trusted,
brought cheer and comfort to his heart. With great
difficulty he was carried to his home and for
several days lay helpless and unable to lift his
head or move his lower extrimities. The terrible
conviction was growing in his mind that he should
never sit up or stand again, when one night, while
his brother, Moses T. Davis, was watching with him,
he was overwhelmed with joy to find that he could
move one of his legs. Soon he was able to sit up,
and in about two months to walk a little on
crutches. After New Year's holoday, he resumed
teaching in the Graded School and preaching in his
Sabbath appointments, which he continued till the
end of the school and conference year. Slowly the
conviction became fixed in the minds of his friends
that he would never be able to do effective work
again in school or church, so on a cordial urgent
invitaion from his fater-in-law, B.W. Shedden, to
come to Mooers and have a home with him, he sold
his farm and, by a public auction his personal
effects, and came East, arriving in Mooers, Oct.
1, 1864. Supplement to the personal memories of
H.B. Taylor, by Bushrod Shedden Taylor, his eldest
son, written November 26, 1889:

Page 32
The past twenty-five years of father's life have
been marked by few events of interest, and there
is little I can add of inportance to this record as
matter of history. After his removal to the old homestead
in Mooers, New York, his life has been one of
constant trial and suffering, and yet of constant
victory and joy by reason of the abundant grace
given him by the Saviour. To the children who have
grown up and graduated, married and gone out into
the world, his life has been a constant and living
testimony to the sustaining grace of God.
He has lived to see his family of children grown to
maturity, and has been able to render them valuable
assistance in education and religious instruction.
Expecting to be dependent upon his relatives, he
has nevertheless, by the good providence of God
been able to support his family and assist his
relatives; being of help to others on on whom he
had expected to be a dependent.
One of the providential lessons of these 25
afflictive years, has been the manifest calling of
God to the work of "Pensions and Claims" for the
soldiers of the late war. Not permitted by the
providence of God to enter the army, it has been
the evident will of God that he should be one of
the chief factors and promoters of the liberal
ploicy of the government toward the survivors and
the wounded of the army that conquered the Rebellion.
The great disaster of his life has been overruled
for good to thousands who met with sad disaster on
the battle-fields which he was not permitted to
enter. Immediately on the close of the war in 1865,
he began to prosecute claims for bounty, back-pay
and pensions. He inaugurated a wide system of advertising
his pension business, and by reason of the very helplessness
of his physical comdition-being for 25 years almost
a total cripple- he has been accustomed to take up
and complete cases abandoned by the other pension
attorneys. By diligent use of the records of the
war and Pension Office, by pa

Page 33

tient correspondence and wide advertising, he has
developed an extensive business. Thousands of
needy widows, orphans and wounded veterans will be
forever grateful that he was afflicted for their
comfort and wounded for their healing. For there is
no doubt that some features of the present liberal
system of pension laws are the result of his
efforts before Congress and the pension office. No
doubt hundreds of needy and destitute pension"cases"
will rise up to call him blessed for the relief
his labors and patience and care have brought them.
who otherwise would never have received their just
rewards of the comforts which their valor on the
field of battle deserved. For it has been the practice
of his official life to take hold of all just
"cased," no matter how intricate, difficult and wanting
in evidence, without a retaining fee or guarantee
of costs, beyond legal and equitable expenses.
The cheerful, happy, Christian experience which he
has enjoyed and manifested to the world during all
these painful years of affliction, has been an inspiration
to the church and to his family and affords a remarkable
instance of daily answer to prayers, and of continued
fellowship with the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.
The narration of these providential and spiritual victories
for the past twenty-five years would make a volume
of precious and inspiring biography, setting forth
in an age of skepticism the direct and daily answers
to prayer which Cod gives to his faithful and obedient
servants. His life has been a constant victory over
the Satanic temptations to murmur against God; and
his joyful expressions of praise in the midst of
fiery trials and grievous physical pain has been a
standing rebuke to the wicked, the worldly and the
unholy, who would fain deny the truths and comforts
of the glorous gospel of the blessed Jesus. His

Page 34

ways have been the ways of wisdom, peace and joy in
God. All his children, seeing the beauty of holiness
and the light of life on his pathway, have followed
his steps and are walking useful and active christians.
Their children are filling his later years with
the sunshine of childish mirth. The evidence of all
who have the inner life of this man of God has been
a glorious testimony to the supporting grace of God
in the midst of great trials. He has been a modern
example of Job. "Though He slay me yet will I trust
him," has been his glowing testimony to the grace
of God.
