| TEXT | William Rice Taylor, Secretary of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company, was born in Schuylkill Haven, Schuylkill County, Pa., May 22, 1856. His father was of Scotch ancestry, and his mother was descended from the early Dutch settlers of the State. When he was but two vears of age his parents moved to Philadelphia and located in Kensington, where he attended the public schools until he was nearly fourteen years of age. After some desultory employment he entered the employ of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company in December, 1871. He was first given a position in the office of the President and Secretary of the company. In 1876 he was appointed stenographer to the President, Mr. Franklin B. Gowen, in which capacity he served that gentleman until his resignation in 1884. He held the same position under Mr. Gowen 's successor, Mr. George deB. Keim until April, 1885. Mr. Taylor had previously determined to read law aud was registered as a student under the tuition of Mr, Gowen. In April, 1885, when Mr. Gowen opened a law office, upon that gentleman's invitation Mr. Taylor left the service of the railroad company and took employment under Mr. Gowen with the intention of completing his legal studies, but upon Mr. Gowen again becoming President of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company in January, 1886, Mr. Taylor was elected Secretary of the Company. In February, 1887, Mr. Taylor was appointed Secretary of the Board of Reconstruction Trustees, and acted in that capacity until the duties of the trustees ended with the adoption of a plan of reorganization.
