Benjamin Henry TAYLOR was the third of eight children born to Benjamin Alpheus TAYLOR and Etta M. WIESE. Ben grew up on his parents farm, however, when he was only 14 years old he lost his father at age 45 and had to help support the family.
He received his high school diploma at Wood River High School in Wood River, Hall Co., Nebraska and enrolled at Kearney State Teacher's College in Kearney, Nebraska, which later became the University of Nebraska at Kearney. While attending college, he leased and managed a Conoco service station in Kearney.
He starred four years as a running back in football and was a star athlete in both track and field events. His athletic records set in the 1930's which still stood over sixty years later are a testament to his athletic abilities. After college Ben TAYLOR was offered a contract to play professional football by George Halas of the Chicago Bears, but he declined the pay of $50.00 per game offered at that time. He was nominated to the Athletic Hall of Fame at the University of Nebraska at Kearney in Jan 1990.
Ben TAYLOR served in both the U.S. Army Air Corps and Navy. He was inducted into the Army 15 Apr 1941, at Omaha, Nebraska. After his discharge from the Army Air Corps, he and his wife, Dema, moved to Burbank, California, where he worked for Lockheed Aircraft building P-38, B-17 and B-25 fighter and bomber aircraft for World War II.
The Germans called the P-38 Lightning "The Fork-Tail Devil". The Japanese referred to it as "two planes, one pilot". With its distinctive twin turbo-charged engines, the Lockheed P-38 "Lightning" was one of the most distinctive and technologically advanced aircraft of the Second World War. There was no limit to its adaptability -- day fighter, night fighter, bomber, photo-reconnaissance aircraft, air ambulance and torpedo bomber. Tough, durable, versatile and one of the fastest fighters in the war, the P-38 could skillfully evade enemy fighters with its speed and altitude, and seize the initiative from the foe. This was Ben Taylor's favorite airplane.
Ben and Dema moved back to Nebraska and he later enlisted in the Navy as Apprentice Seaman 13 May 1944. He was honorably discharged from both branches of the service.
He and his wife, along with three children, moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1950. Shortly thereafter, Ben spent nine months at Toule, Greenland, building a military airbase on the ice cap. When he returned from Greenland, he joined the Metropolitan Airports Commission in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he retired as chief supervisor after twenty years employment.
Ben TAYLOR was diagnosed in 1986, with a rare disease called superficial migratory thrombofhlebitis. Seven years later he developed mylofibrosis, a rare blood disease. In Apr 1996, his condition was diagnosed as an aggressive form of acute mylogenous leukemia. In three years, he received 100 blood transfusions throughout his battle with mylofibrosis and acute mylogenous leukemia.
He was one of those unique individuals who seemed to posess a certain magnetism for gaining friends. His great sense of humor and quick wit always kept people smiling. As they presented the flag to his wife, Dema, at his military funeral, a friend leaned over and said to her, "Ben TAYLOR was the nicest man I have ever known!"

Elbert Roy WINSLOW died at his home at 1 p.m. on Monday the 3rd of July 1944 in Kearney, Nebraska after being ill for only two hours. His death was attributed to a heart ailment.In Chicago, Roy WINSLOW invented and sold electric fans. Their home caught fire and burned with everyone able to get out, however, it was discovered by a passer-by that alerted the family. Bertha pushed Dema out a window to save her. After the fire, the family moved to Kearney, Nebraska, and lived with Jahugh WINSLOW at his home which had 160 acres with fruit trees on it. The family slept upstairs in the barn which had a workbench downstairs.
Roy WINSLOW and family bought a vacant building in Gibbon, Nebraska, (12 miles east of Kearney) in 1925 and opened the "Dreamland Theatre." Tracy WEBSTER, Roy's wife, sold tickets; Gerald and Maynard ran the projection equipment; Doris played the piano for the "silent movies"; Verda ran the concessions with Bertha's help; and Dema saw to it that her friends had the best seats in the house. The movie "The Jazz Singer", with Al Jolson, was the first "talking picture" made and was shown at the "Dreamland Theatre." People came from miles around to see this first "talking picture." The family lived above the theater in Gibbon, Nebraska. The theater became a cheese factory after it was sold in 1930 and the family moved back to Kearney, Nebraska. During the Great Depression, small towns would hire Roy WINSLOW to show movies outdoors on the side of business buildings to bring people to town. Roy, Gerald and Maynard traveled from town to town showing them during that time.
When the "talkies" came to the theaters, the sound was on a large phonograph record and the trick was to get the picture and the sound recording synchronized with each other. This job was handled by Gerald WINSLOW. Seats in the theater were wooden benches which could be moved to the side of the room and the theater could be converted to a roller skating rink.
Later, Roy WINSLOW became well known in Kearney, Nebraska, for building trailer homes under the name of the Winslow Trailer Company. He was requested by the government to go to Washington, D.C. to discuss the possibility of building trailers for the government. It was to be a large contract and Roy WINSLOW felt it might be too big for him to take on, so it wasn't pursued.
