l FDREWURD It is the desire of the staff that the 1936 Flashlight may reveal interesting f a c t s con- cerning Taylor County ancl record the famil- iar s c e n e s of school life. As t h e work of the p io n e e r settlers grows dim in your memory, we hope that this book will recall vividly to y 0 u r mind the achievements made by early settlers of your county. The County, found- ed in 1858, was named for Edward Taylor, a brave and sturdy citi- zen. The buffalo hunt- ers, the first white peo- ple attracted t o t h i s county, were soon fol- lowed by cattlemen having as their leader Sam Gholson who came in 1874. He was followed by such men as Parramore, Merchant, S i m p s o n, Berry, Hughes, Rad- ford, and Paxton. 4 .v i ' A 8 iii, ,Q ij: 1 f 5- 1, if esflliiffiat 'f'iQf t K rj' ii? 8 a ,, Y , ,mi 'A' f ' , -- u .Z f ',1' 2 Zfirwf iiiii X .af !f'11l fi, X25 f,-V 5' ,Ji - Vg' Vila x yf 1,77 X1 if if f f f ,M ff 'Jr J ,ififF' L We f f fV rT?f f fi r w,,4,,,f,,ar nf as 8 t Af' ' AP ip:-54 if ,Y ,ffl I K , V X fr I If '-jf' ,, ff J , I , UA?
