Biographical Note

Arthur Clyde "Cap" Taylor was born on July 2, 1885 to Alonzo C. and Mary Stowers Yelton Taylor in Butler, Kentucky. He was trained as a printer and came to Phoenix in about 1907 to teach at the Phoenix Indian School. Several years later, he went to work for the Arizona Stockman Printing Company. He soon became the owner and changed the name to A. C. Taylor Printing Company. He was also involved in numerous civic organizations, including the Rotary Club and the Masons. Taylor married Ella Louise Henrietta Luhrs on December 25, 1917. The couple's only child, Mary Margaret, was stillborn in 1922. A. C. Taylor served as a Captain in the Supply Company of the Arizona National Guard and was stationed in Naco, Arizona during the Pancho Villa uprising in Mexico. During World War I, the unit was federalized as the 158th Infantry and served in France. A. C. Taylor died on December 27, 1937 of a fractured skull incurred when he fell down an elevator shaft.
