Effie Taylor
     Helen Euphemia 'Effie' Taylor was born on 4 March 1861 in Pittsboro, Chatham County, North Carolina.1,2 She was the daughter of James Peyton Taylor and Virginia Morris Hanks.1 She married Henry Austin Perry on 4 August 1909 in Brazoria County, Texas.3 She died on 13 July 1942 in Angleton, Brazoria County, Texas, at age 81.1,2 She was buried on 15 July 1942 in Old Columbia Cemetery, West Columbia, Brazoria County, Texas.1,2 Click to view image
     
     Effie, an only child, was five years old when she moved from Pittsboro, North Carolina, to Brazoria County, Texas, with her parents. She grew up on the "Taylor Place" between East and West Columbia, and apparently lived there most of her adult life. At age 48, she became the second wife of Henry Perry, a grandnephew of Stephen F. Austin. In 1910, she and Henry were living with Effie's parents, but before 1920, they all moved to Angleton where they continued to live together. Effie inherited the "Taylor Place" from her parents. Sometime before her death, she deeded the property to Joe Munson because, she said, he reminded her of her father. The "Taylor Place" has now passed to Joe's widow Ruth Anna.
