Editor's Note: The "Eunis W. Taylor" listed above may be the "Enos Taylor" of this newspaper article. The different spelling of the name may be due to the hurried and stressful situation surrounding his dying on a prisoner of war train and eventually being buried by a community which basically knew nothing of him but were doing what they considered to be their Christian duty. If you have any information on this situation, please contact us.
