Martin Taylor photos and such

The following are additional photos and scanned paper items of Martin Taylor, Vera's youngest brother.  All photos and articles are from the personal albums of Della/Gene Nyberg.

Martin's birth certificate
and notes from his sister Della's book of remembrance

Notes transcribed:

"Mart was the last but not least in this large family.  He was such a beautiful baby.  His skin was so fair, he had brown eyes and red hair.  He was loved so much and had so many to take care of him.  He was a joy to his parents when all the rest had married and gone.  He was an honor to his country.  He gave his life for it."
