Medford (Oregon) Mail, Friday, 28 Dec 1900, p. 7, c. 5
Suicide of Robt. Taylor. Robert Taylor, of the firm High & Taylor, saloon men, 
in Ashland, committed suicide at his uncle’s ranch, south of Ashland, during 
Wednesday forenoon. He shot himself through the heart with a shotgun. He was 
seemingly all right when the farm help left in the morning and when they 
returned at noon his body was found in the woodshed where the deed was 
committed. Mr. Taylor was alone at the house at the time, his family living in 
Ashland. No reason is known for his act and his friends are at a loss to 
account for it. He was in Ashland on Christmas day and ate dinner with the 
family. He was forty-five years of age. Dr. Pickel is holding an inquest as we 
go to press (Thursday). The funeral will be held on Saturday at 2 o’clock.
