General Taylor was first buried in the Congressional Cemetery, Wash

ington, D. C., Saturday, July 13, 1850; the body was afterward removed to the Taylor Cemetery, about two miles northeast of St. Matthew's, a suburb of Louisville, Kentucky, his body being escorted to the grave by the Louisville Legion (Mexican Soldiers). The Taylor monument is a granite shaft, surmounted by a marble statue of the President in full uniform, bareheaded, and was erected by the State. The height, including the statue, is thirty-seven feet, the base in rough granite measuring eight feet square. The statue faces east, and on the eastern side of the dado is carved :

MAJ. GEN'L ZACHARY TAYLOR, 12th President of the United States. Born Nov. 24, 1784.

Died July 9, 1850.

On the cap of surbase appears the monogram "Z. T.," and on the lower section of three divisions of the shaft are inscribed the last words of the President:

GENERAL ZACHARY TAYLOR.

I have endeavored to do my duty, I am ready to die, my only regret is for the friends I leave behind me.

On the middle section is a bronzed relief in profile of the General.

On the west side of the shaft are placed the American Eagle and coat of arms in relief.

On the north side is a list of the battles in which the General partici

pated :

The burial ground of the Taylor family occupies an acre and is within three hundred yards of the old homestead. It slopes to the east and is surrounded by a five-foot wall of stone. Just to the east of the entrance is the vault which contains the body of ex-President Taylor, one of those old-fashioned, plain vaults now seldom seen, a covering of myrtle keeping it green the year round. Its plain solid door of iron has no inscription, but on a marble slab above the door are the words:

ZACHARY TAYLOR
Born Nov. 24 1784
Died July 9 1850

Mrs. Taylor is buried in the same grounds.
