Z. R. TAYLOR, druggist, Jefferson. Among the professional business men of this village we record the name of Z. R. Taylor, son of John Taylor, of Scotland, where the latter was born. When a child, his parents emigrated to the United States, and settled in Champaign County, Ohio, where John has resided for the past sixty years. He married Miriam Daniels, of Champaign County, about thirty-seven years since. Of their four children Z. R., the second, was born in the last-named county in 1850. His boyhood days were spent on the farm and at the district schools during the winter seasons until 1867, when he entered the Urbana University. One year later, he commenced a course in the Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware, where he devoted his time until 1872, at which time he took up the study of medicine under Dr. H. C. Pierce, of Urbana, Ohio, and graduated at the Starling Medical College, Columbus, Ohio, in the spring of 1873. He at once located in Jefferson, and engaged in the drug business, where he has since remained. He carries a full line of all articles kept in a drug store. He was united in marriage with Miss Clara M. Burrows, by whom he has two children. Mrs. Taylor is a native of illinois. She was educated at Peoria, where she subsequently taught two years, and finally taught one year in the Jefferson schools of Madison County, Ohio.
