Warren Taylor
Dies Suddenly
Revered Teacher
Buried Tuesday
Warren Swan Taylor, Trucksville,
was buried ‘at Fern Knoll Tuesday
afternoon. Services were ‘conducted
by Rev. Arthur R. B. Mayer and
Rev. Earl Douglas, a Princeton class-
mate of Professor Taylor, from the
Elmer T. Williams Funeral Home.
Rev. Douglass had performed the
marriage ceremony for Professor
Taylor and his wife, the former
Guida Marrow, Trucksville.
Students who had passed through
his hands during the past twenty-
five years in Kingston Township
were shocked to learn of his death
Saturday afternoon. He was strick-
en with a sudden heart attack. He
had been in failing health for some
time, resigning from the faculty at
Westmoreland last year. For many
years he coached the baseball team.
Professor Taylor, instructor in
Latin, deplored the modern tenden-
cy to eliminate classics from the
high school curriculum, holding that
Latin was the best foundation for
study of the English language. He
felt that too little time was spent
on acquiring a real education, and
too much on extra-curricular activ-
ities. Of an intelligent student he
once said: “It is a pity that this
boy will not apply himself. He could
go far if he learned to learn.” He
was appalled at the modern stu-
dent's ignorance of grammar ‘and
spelling.
Professor Taylor had been in the
first *at the Harrisburg Academy,
where ill-health interrupted his car-
eer for a year; next at Columbus
School for Boys, Cleveland School
for Boys, the Marquand School, Wil-
mington Friends School, and at Or-
bisonia, before coming to Trucks-
ville.
He was educated at Mercersburg
Academy, Columbia Universiity, and
Princeton. He took graduate work in
education at Pennsylvania State
College, and returned to Princeton
to take further graduate work and
manage the Bureau of Student Self-
Help. He was listening to the Prince-
ton-Yale football game over the ra-
dio when he died.
He was born at Shade Gap, his
parents the late John and Amanda
Swan Taylor.
Surviving are his widow, two bro-
thers and two sisters: Cloyd, Mt.
Union; John C. Westwood, N. J;
Mrs. A. L. Cargill, Pittsburgh; and
Mary Taylor, Shade Gap.
Pallbearers were: Linden F.
Kingsley, William R. Royer, Harold
Shappelle, Sheldon Bennett, Thomas
Carle, Jr., and James Hutchison.

now that she has to tune it to so
loud a pitch, and newspapers bar-

Huntsville for the past forty-seven
years, she remembers it from the
horse and buggy days when the
roads were practically impassable
five months out of the year, and
Huntsville was a long day’s drive
uphill from Wilkes-Barre.
Until very recently, Mrs. Stoeckel
took an active part in Huntsville
Methodist Church affairs and its
women’s organizations, preparing
for church suppers and other pro-
gram features. Less active now, she
still enjoys life and has a good ap-
