'Ma' Taylor Plans to Vote
Today, Celebrate Tomorrow
By ELLEN B. MASON
Today Americans will elect a
new President. He will be the
19th president to hold office in Ma
Taylor’s lifetime.- Ma, Mrs. N. W.
Taylor of Beaufort, will celebrate
her 100th birthday tomorrow.
Ma was born Mary Catherine
Buckman at 114 Ann St., Beaufort,
just after Abraham Lincoln was
elected. Her favorite Presidents
are Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson.
Although Ma could have voted in
1920, when women were granted
that right, it was some time later
when she took advantage of the
privilege. She emphatically de
clares that she’s going to vote
Democratic this election.
“Just say that Ma, her husband,
and all her folks have always been
Democrats and always will,” she
said Friday. “Why, I wouldn’t
know how to be anything else. 1
want the best man to win, and I
know he’ll be a Democrat!”
Ma was organist at Ann Street
Methodist church when she mar
ried Nelson Whitford Taylor Feb.
24, 1881. She and Pa Taylor had
been married 67 years when he
died in 1948. Shortly after her
marriage she transferred her mem
bership to St. Paul’s Episcopal
church, where she was very active.
The Taylors raised six of their
own children, three of whom have
died, and three orphans, two of
whom, are dead. Ma is blessed
with 12 grandchildren, 28 great
grandchildren and six great great
grandchildren. The family is a
closeknit group and frequent visits
are made between its members.
Ma’s living children are George
Taylor and Mrs. Nannie Hinnant
of Beaufort and Cecil B. Taylor of
Waban, Mass. The others were
Bayard and Nelson Taylor and
E. W. Downum Co.

Mrs. Elizabeth O’Bryan. Mrs. Mary
Thomas of Baltimore, Md., is Ma’s
“other one.”
Ma recalls the War Between the
States, Spanish-American war, two
World Wars and the Korean con
flict.
Ma says she didn’t intend to live
to be 100. “The years just kept
slipping by and first thing I knew,
it was my birthday again and I
was 99. Now I’ll soon be 100.”
Folks are invited to call on Ma
from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. and from
7:30 to 10 p.m. tomorrow to help
her celebrate.
A century has faded away but
Mary Buckman Taylor doesn’t
seem aware of it. She looks to the
future and the good times it may
hold in store for her. And, as Ma
says, “A little nonsense now and
then is relished by the best of
men.
This is Ma Taylor as she cele
brated her 67th wedding anni
versary in 1948.
