ARTHUR C. TAYLOR
Huntingdon, Pa.

Deputy Sheriff:  Recently appointed Deputy Sheriff by the Sheriff-
elect, Albert J. Foore.  His appointment was well deserved, and a brief 
sketch of his career will not come amiss.  Arthur C. Taylor was born at

were farmers; in 1889 they moved to Mount Union, where the father, 
Harry C. Taylor, was employed with the Penna. R.R. for a period of 
three years, after which they moved to Rock Hill, Huntingdon County 
remaining there for one year.  The family then moved to Robertsdale, 
when the subject of this sketch was but four years of age, the mother 
dying in 1927 , and at Robertsdale he began his first schooling; at the 
age of twelve years was employed as a trapper boy; later as a coal 
miner, and at twenty-eight years of age was a check weighman at 7 and 8 
mines at Woodvale, located near Robertsdale, for the United Mine 
Workers; at the age of thirty-one became the Sub-District President; he 
served for a period of eight years.  During the World War he was a coal 
miner and check weighman.  He has three brothers:  Loraine, married to 
Ruth Rorer; they reside at Braddock, Pa.; Frank, married to Marie
