Wm. Rex Taylor was born Aug. 24, 1920, in Cambria, Iowa, to

William Clede and Ruth Mitchell Taylor.



Rex attended early grade school at Cambria, and his family moved

to Sexton, Iowa, in 1932. He attended the remainder of grade

school there, graduating from Algona High School in 1939.



He entered Iowa State College in Ames, Iowa, that fall, graduating

in agriculture economics in 1943.



He obtained his pilot's license and ROTC military training while

attending Iowa State College and entered the United States Army

Air Corps in pilot training in 1943. He was stationed at five

different bases and was discharged in 1945.



Rex was married to Genavon Brown of Tenton, Mo., on Aug. 12,

1945, in Des Moines, Iowa.



Following his military discharge, the couple moved back to

Algona. Rex went into the Taylor Implement Company business with

his father, W.C., and was active there until he closed it 49

years later in 1994.



In addition, he was a partner with his brothers, Mitch and

Dean Taylor, in both Algona Flour and Feed and Taylor Motor Company

for many years.



Rex, because of his experience in drying and shelling corn in

the field, became a leader for advanced farm practices.



Taylor Implement Company became a very successful company

selling J.I. Case equipment for more than two decades, and later

Behlen drying and storage bins, as well as commercial steel

buildings. Snap-On Tools and Algona Food Engineering were two

of the structures he constructed.



Rex was elected to the Algona City Council in 1948 for seven

years.



He was a 57-year member of the First United Methodist Church

in Algona, teaching Sunday school and holding various other

positions over the years.



He belonged to Prudence Lodge  No. 205 A.F. & A.M. of Algona;

the Consistory Scottish Rite of Free Masonry and Abu Bekr Shrine

of Sioux City. He was a 50-year lifetime member of Hagg-Turner

Post  No. 90 American Legion of Algona as well.



He was elected to the board of directors of the Iowa State Bank

in 1982 and continued to hold that position until 1991.



In 1972, Rex was invited by then Secretary of State Melvin Laird

to join a civilian defense department organization called Joint

Civilian Orientation Conference Association, also known as DOCA.

For the past 24 years, Rex had been an active member,  traveling

to military bases throughout the United States, Central and South

America and Japan.



Rex held an active pilot's license throughout most of his adult

life. He loved aviation and enjoyed flying both private planes,

as well as being a frequent passenger on commercial planes.



Over the years, Rex enjoyed playing golf, traveling and fishing.

He loved people and especially his work with his customers.



On June 27, 1992, Rex was married to Jane Nolte in Spirit Lake,

Iowa, and the couple continued to live in Algona.



Survivors include his wife, Jane, of Algona; a son, Dr. Philip

Taylor and his wife, Marie Holbrook, of Bethesda, Md. (Phil is

chief of the Cancer Prevention Studies Branch of the National

Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Md.); Pastor Thomas Taylor of New

York, N.Y.; and daughter Kathy Taylor, a professional volunteer

and owner of Taylor Communications, of Mason City, Iowa. Rex

and Julie Lindsay and husband, John, of Clear Lake, Iowa; seven

grandchildren, Hiliary, Adrian, and Alistair Taylor and Kate,

NOTE:  There were no obituaries received from the Globe Gazette for

March 31, 1996.  It is possible they were not recorded.  It is also possible

there were none.  I didn't check the March 31st paper to see. 

March 31, 1996 appears to have been missed. -- Loren Toomsen
