The Obituary of Franklin D R Taylor
"N.P. Lee eulogized the splendid characteristic of honest and absolute reliability in a high degree by the deceased, and that no greater tribute can be paid a man. That he had known Mr Taylor for 51 years and that he came of a family of sterling worth prominent in early church annals of Utah."
