Paul Eugene Taylor, age 84, of Marengo, formerly of Columbus, passed away Wednesday, January 15, 2014 at his daughter’s residence. Paul was born November 12, 1929, in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, to the late Tolliver E. and Mae Belle (Fowler) Taylor.
Paul served his country in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict and went on to marry the love of his life, the former Polly E. Gearheart, on May 21, 1955.
