Biography
Glen H. Taylor is Notable.
Glen Hearst Taylor was born in a boarding house in Portland, Oregon, the twelfth of thirteen children of Pleasant John Taylor and Olive Higgins Taylor. His father was a retired Texas ranger and wandering preacher, and the family was with him in Portland for a protracted soul-saving meeting.
He was an American politician, entertainer, businessman, and U.S. senator from Idaho. He was the vice presidential candidate on the Progressive Party ticket in the 1948 election. Taylor was otherwise a member of the Democratic Party. By one measure, Taylor was the second-most liberal member of the U.S. Senate, trailing only Wayne Morse of Oregon, and the fourth-most liberal member of Congress overall between 1937 and 2002
Taylor died at 80 in April 1984 from complications from Alzheimer's disease; Dora Taylor remained in the San Mateo County area until her death at 93 in 1997. They are interred at Skylawn Memorial Park in San Mateo.
