GEORGE TAYLORS OBITUARY
THE FOLLOWING OBITUARY WAS PUT IN THE WORKSOP GUARDIAN TO RECORD IN REMEMBRANCE OF GEORGE TAYLOR WORKSOP GUARDIAN APRIL 28TH 1914.
DURING THE LAST WEEK, WORKSOP HAS LOST ANOTHER OLD WORTHY IN THE DEATH OF MR GEORGE TAYLOR, POTATO DEALER AND HUCKSTER OF MARECROFT, WHICH OCCURED ON SUNDAY AT THE AGE OF 74, AFTER A SHORT COMPARATIVELY SHORT ILLNESS, MR TAYLOR WAS A REMARKABLE CHARACTER, THOUGH OF LATE YEARS HE HAS NOT BEEN SO MUCH IN THE PUBLIC EYE. "CARTHORSE"AS HE WAS FAMILIARLY KNOWN, WAS THE SON OF THE LATE JOSEPH TAYLOR, WHO LIVED IN CARLTON ROAD MANY YEARS AGO , AND FOLLOWED THE TRADE OF HUCKSTER OR GREENGROCER, DEALING WITH THE POTATO TRADE, IN WHICH HE WAS FOLLOWED BY HIS SON. HIS GRANDFATHER WAS EVEN BETTER KNOWN IN HIS DAY, AND IS REMEMBERED BY SOME OF THE OLDER GENERATION STILL WITH US. HE WAS "FIDDLER" TAYLOR SO-CALLED FROM THE FACT THAT HE "FIDDLED" FOR DANCES, FOR VILLAGE FEASTS AND THE LIKE " FIDDLER" RESIDED IN A LITTLE HOUSE WHICH THEN ADJOINED THE PRESENT CATTLE MARKET HOTEL, AND HAS SINCE BEEN TAKEN INTO THE HOUSE, AND HIS WIFE WAS FAMED FOR HER PIKELETS SHE MADE. THE DECEASED WAS THE ONLY SON, BUT HE HAD AN UNCLE, FRED WHO WAS A WELL KNOWN SPRINTER, AND IT IS REPORTED OF HIM THAT HE WON A SHEFFIELD HANDICAP, AND THAT HIS BACKERS, WHO NUMBERED SEVERAL WORKSOP TRADESMEN, HAD A SPECIAL TRAIN WAITING, IN WHICH THEY TOOK HIM AT ALL SPEED TO MANCHESTER, WHERE HE WON A SECOND HANDICAP IN THE SAME AFTERNOON, PROBABLY THUS ESTABLISHING A RECORD.
MR TAYLOR AT THAT TIME ASPIRED TO RUNNING BUT HE WAS OF WEIGHTY PROPORTIONS, AND THE MARKED DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIM AND HIS UNCLE EARNED HIM THE PSEUDOMYM OF "CARTHORSE TAYLOR"WHICH STUCK WITH HIM THROUGH LIFE.
ONE OF THE BEST PIGEON SHOTS IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD , THE DECEASED ATTENDED MANY SHOOTS IN THE DISTRICT EVEN WHEN APPROACHING THE ALLOTTED SPAN, AND USUALLY WAS AMONGST THE PRIZE WINNERS. HE WAS FOND, TOO, OF A BIT OF GENERAL SPORTING, AND NOTHING IN FURS OR FEATHERS BECAME AMISS TO HIM, AND HE WAS PARTICULARLY PARTIAL TO A GUN.
FOR MANY YEARS HE STOOD WORKSOP MARKET WITH STALLS OF GREENGROCERIES AND SWEETS, AND HIS STENTORIAN VOICE WAS GENERALLY PRONOUNCED IN CALLING HIS WARES. A MAN OF MUCH ENERGY, HE MADE A SUCCESS OF HIS BUSINESS, AND FREQUENTLY BOUGHT WHOLE FIELDS OF POTATOES FROM THE GROWER EMPLOYING HIS OWN LABOUR TO PICK THEM.
ON TWO OCCASIONS HE OFFERED HIS SERVICES TO THE RATEPAYERS ON THE URBAN COUNCIL, BUT HE FAILED TO SECURE A SEAT, MANY NOT TAKING HIS NOMINATIONS SO SERIOUSLY AS HIMSELF. READY IN RETORT AND SHARP IN REPARTEE, HE WAS A MAN WHOM IT WAS EASY TO SEE POSSESSED MUCH ORIGINALITY OF CHARACTER, AND HIS LOSS WILL BE DEPLORED BY A LARGE CIRCLE OF FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES.
