Writing transcribed:
"I was ordained a Deacon by my Grandfather Taylor, Dec. 21, 1941.  He was always "Papa" to Loa and I.  We were with him so much when we were kids and heard the family call him Papa, so we called him Papa too.
He said the opening prayer to the Christmas party Fri. Dec. 19, 1941.  Ordained me a Deacon on Sunday, the last church ordinance he performed.
He died the next Friday Dec. 26, 1941, of a heart attack.  He went out to close the chicken coop door after the chicken's had gone to roost.  When my grandmother opened the door, he was lying in the yard on his face.  She got a pillow and a blanket and went out, turned him over, put the pillow under his head, covered him up and ran to her son Rex's place a half mile away.  There was snow on the ground.  She was so out of breath all she could say was, "Rex come quick".  She didn't think Papa was dead.  Rex and George Walkup took her back home and got Papa in the house.  He was dead."
