A collection of stories of the loved ones resting in our grounds...

Virginia Ann (Taylor) Root

BORN: 28 July 1918. White County, Tennessee

Died: 10 December 1999. Colorado Springs, Colorado

The daughter of Joseph W Taylor and Mary B Jernigan. Sister of Jo Frances (Taylor) Auld, and Ralph W Taylor.

Virginia grew up in Cave, TN. Below is an excerpt written by her sister, Jo Frances: "Virginia and I started school at Onward Seminary which by now was only an elementary school. This was about the last year it operated as a school. When we moved to Doyle we went to school there. Miss Minnie Myers was our second grade teacher. She had taught at Onward Seminary when Uncle Porter came there to be principle. All three of us (Jo Frances, Virginia, and Ralph Taylor) finished school at Doyle and attended White County High School."

Virginia was eager to travel beyond White County from a young age. There is a family story of her hiding in the truck of a visiting family members car to secretly hitch a ride out of town.

Virginia moved in her early teens to Chattanooga, TN and then at age 17 she moved to Detroit where she worked for several years in department stores, then at Stouffer's in Chicago. She eventually went to Colorado Springs, Co to help her Uncle Marcus William Taylor with his school. There she met and married Captain Charles W. Root on April 15th, 1954. They lived in Heidelberg, Germany and travelled in Europe for many years before settling back in Colorado Springs, CO where she remained until her death.
