William Taylor's Baptism

This picture is of the Bolton branch taken in 1930. A few years after William Taylor's baptism; William is standing on the far left, he has glasses and a mustache. Standing in the middle back row, in a light suit, is William Barton; his daugther Doris Barton Taylor is sitting to the right, with her son, George, on her lap. Son Eric is sitting in front on the right.

William (Harold) was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on October 7, 1927. About a year later on October 28, 1928 he was ordained to the office of a priest. He and Doris often performed musical numbers together for ward socials. His baptism was a happy day for Doris, as well as the small branch.
