Horace Taylor, Veteran
Real Estate Agent Here
Death came Saturday to Horace Franklin Taylor, head of one of Big Spring's widely known families and a resident of the area for 64 years. For many years he was in the real estate business.
Mr Taylor, 89, succumbed in an Odessa hospital after an illness of only one day. The family residence for years had been at 1104 Scurry here, but Mr. Taylor had been spending some time in Odessa where a daughter resides.
Funeral services are to be at 3 p.m. Monday in the River-Welch Chapel, with Dr. R. Gage Lloyd, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, officiating. Burial will be in the City Cemetery beside the grave of his wife, who died in October, 1967.
Mr. Taylor was born Feb. 2, 1880, in Bolivar, Tenn. He was married to the former Emily Owens in 1903, and they came to this area in 1905. For some time he farmed in the Hartwells sector, later operated a grocery business here, but for many years dealt in real estate. He was a member of the Methodist church.
Mr. Taylor could be considered a pioneer in aviation in West Texas, since - on the site now occupied by Webb Air Force Base - back in the 1920's, he prepared a landing strip and service unit which took care of a few transient planes, and accommodated flying enthusiasts of the day. This property was sold to the City of Spring in 1929, when the first municipal airport was established.
Mr. Taylor is survived by six daughters, Mrs. Robert W. Currie and Mrs. Vernon Smith of Big Spring; Mrs. Henry Edwards, San Angelo; Mrs. Vance Lebkowsky, Odessa; Mrs. Harold Hartis, Dallas; and Mrs. William T. Dykes, Brownfield. There is a sister, Mrs. Laura Taylor of Whitney, Tex., and nine grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, several nieces and nephews.
