Obituary:
AFTON - Afton resident Vernal Taylor, 90, died Feb. 4, 2004.

Born Nov. 6, 1913, in Fairview, he was the youngest of 12 children of Franklin and Priscilla (Merrill) Taylor; attended school in Montpelier, Idaho, and Logan, Utah; and graduated from Star Valley High School in Afton.

On Nov. 14, 1934, he married his sweetheart, Wilda Linford, in Paris, Idaho. Their marriage was solemnized on Dec. 22, 1936, in the Salt Lake Utah Temple, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

He and two of his brothers farmed together and took care of their widowed mother. He also hauled milk to the creamery with a team and wagon.

In 1943, the couple bought a farm north of Afton. To make ends meet, the family spent a winter in Kemmerer so he could work in the coal mines; and a winter in Ogden, Utah, during World War II, working in a factory.

In addition to farming, milking cows and raising livestock, he drove a school bus for 17 years; and was known as a favorite driver in the area. He and his wife sold their farm in 1975 and moved into Afton.

An active member of the LDS Church, he held many positions and enjoyed regularly attending the temple. In 1981, he and his wife served in the Charlotte, N.C., Mission for 18 months; and he also served a stake mission.

For many years, the couple enjoyed winters in St. George, Utah, and summers in Afton.

Survivors include his wife of 69 years; four children, Gloria Mower of St. George, Brent and his wife of Rock Springs, Linford and his wife of Evanston and Trenna Gailey and her husband of Clifton, Idaho; 11 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; and sister, Marie Creamer of Boise, Idaho.

He was preceded in death by his parents, seven brothers and three sisters.
