HERBERT LEWIS TAYLOR
      Herbert Lewis Taylor was born in Dodge County, WI, on November 16, 1877; the second son of Lewis P. and Henrietta Young Taylor. In 1894, he moved with his parents to North Dakota and bought land from the Northern Pacific Railroad in Minnie Lake Township, twelve miles north of Oriska. He broke this land with a walking plow and a team of oxen.
      He had two brothers: Jesse, who was a banker in Oriska; Raymond, who farmed north of Oriska; and a sister, Pearl, who married Whitfield McKay, of Grand Prairie Township. In 1904, he built the original home and in 1918, the home was enlarged and modernized with indoor plumbing and electricity using his own power plant. The building materials were hauled by horse team and wagon from Dean Smith Lumber Yard at Oriska.
      In 1908, he married Mary McKay, daughter of John and Elizabeth German McKay. She was born in Baldwin Township, September 3, 1886, (formerly Goose Lake) 25 miles northeast of Valley City. Herbert and Mary worked hard to settle and improve their farmstead. Everything had to be hauled by horse and wagon from Oriska. During the winter, grain was hauled to the elevator in Oriska and a load of coal was brought back; which made a long day for man and beast.
