 When I was a kid, Peter's son, Matt, told me (apparently referring to Lookout Mountain) that his father fought in a battle so high on a mountain that he was above the clouds! |
 He conducted the wedding of his niece, Barbara Corey, to Jackson Tedders. (Barbara is the daughter of Peter's sister, Annie.) |

He was a principal at Lone Jack High School, in Bell Co, KY, for a long time, while Arah taught English at Knox Central High School. In 1922, Taylor taught at McClellan School.
