Alfred E. Taylor's Obituary
ALFRED E. TAYLOR, 97, of Winfield, Kansas, passed away Saturday morning, March 19, 2011 at Good Samaritan Society.
Born November 6, 1913 in Burden, Kansas, he was the son of Virgil and Marion (Cunningham) Taylor. He was the only boy of seven children. Alfred attended grade school at Old Salem. He graduated from Winfield High School in 1932.
He was a member of the FFA and helped his dad farm. Alfred was united in marriage to Coleitto Foster on February 3, 1938 at his sister's home in Fredonia, Kansas. He then began farming northwest of Winfield, between Oxford and Udall. He took his family to the Oxford Methodist Church where all were active for many years. Alfred retired from farming in 1978 and moved to Winfield.
He then worked as a janitor for Southwestern College and volunteered at William Newton Hospital and delivered for Meals on Wheels. He later cared for his wife due to her immobility from Arthritis. After losing Coleitto in 2001, Alfred remained in his home until January of 2011, when he moved to the Good Samaritan Society.
