The History of the Yakima Valley, Washington, Comprising Yakima, Kittitas and Benton Counties, The S.J. Clarke Publishing Co., 1919, Volume II, page 1062 FRANK TAYLOR. Frank Taylor, of Ellensburg, filling the office of deputy sheriff of Kittitas county, was born in Yakima county, Washington, on the 4th of July, 1883, near Ellensburg, a son of William J. and Mary (Grewell) Taylor, of whom extended mention is made on another page of this volume. Reared in this section of Washington, he acquired a public school education in Ellensburg, completing his course by graduation from the high school with the class of 1903. He was then engaged with his father in the live stock business until they retired from that field of activity in 1898. They were afterward engaged in dealing in horses for several years and subsequently Frank Taylor took up the occupation of farming, which he followed for four years. He later devoted three years to teaming in Ellensburg and on the 3d of March, 1914, he was called to the office of deputy sheriff, in which position he has served for two terms, making a creditable record in that connection by the prompt and fearless discharge of his duties. In 1918 he became the candidate of the democratic party for the office of sheriff. In 1906 Mr. Taylor was united in marriage to Miss Emma Abraham, of California, and to them have been born three children: Bernice May, Lois Augusta and Frankie William. In his fraternal connections Mr. Taylor is an Elk, belonging to Lodge No. 1102 of Ellensburg. His business interests and his public activity have made him widely known through this section of the state and he is highly esteemed as one who has been loyal to duty and faithful to every cause which he has espoused. ******************************** Submitted to the Washington Bios Project in January 2008 by Jeffrey L.
