Notes for Roy Dee Taylor:
THE WESTMORELAND RECORDER 8 aug 1935
A sudden very unusual gland developement in the throat of Roy Dee, six
months old son of Mr and Mrs Vern Taylor, of Westmoreland caused the
child's death yesterday morning about ten o'clock. Nothing appeared to
be the matter with the baby until Tuesday morning when a gland
development was noted. Dr. Roy H. Moser was called and he advised that
the little son be taken to a hospital. He was taken at once to the
Charlotte Swift hospital, Manhattan. The inflamation of the gland shut
off the air passage and an operation was neccessary and this was done at
once, death followed at 10 a.m. yesterday. Roy Dee was an unusually
bright attractive baby. Mr. Taylor is state patrolman on No. 11 from
Westmoreland to Frank fort and moved with his family to Blaine, to be
near the center of his route. The funeral service will be held at the
Westmoreland Christian church tomorrow, Friday morning, at 9:30 o'clock.
