George - obituary
From The Oregonian, March 4, 1934:

"50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATED HERE

Mr. and Mrs. George Davenport Honored at Reception.

In celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary Mr. and Mrs. George Davenport of Florence, Ore., were honored with a reception Friday at the home of their daughter, Mrs. Carl Southworth, at 1694 Southwest Montgomery drive, here.

Mr. and Mrs. Davenport were married at Arcadia, Kan., on March 2, 1884. On the same day they left for what was then Spokane Falls, Washington territory, where they settled on a homestead and lived for 13 years. When irrigation was developed in western farming, Mr. Davenport improved land consecutively in Clarkston, Wash., the Yakima valley and at Twin Falls, Idaho. In 1916 they moved to Oregon and settled near Eugene, where Mr. Davenport worked in the Booth-Kelly lumber mill at Springfield. Four years ago they moved to Florence, on the coast in Lane county, and there they are at home to their many friends who visit the beach.

The Davenports have a son, Herbert E., in Long Beach, Cal., and a grandson, Lawrence, there. They were unable to attend the golden wedding celebration. Another grandson, John Southworth, lives here.

Mr. Davenport was born near Bowling Green, Ky., on August 23, 1859. Mrs. Davenport, nee Clara Hammond, was born near Springfield, Ill., on July 5, 1861."

Obituary:
"Descendant of Pioneer County Family Dies. "Word has been received here of the death and subsequent burial this week of a descendant of one of Warren County's pioneer families, Joseph Luther Taylor. "Taylor, 80, was a grandson of Joseph Taylor, Revolutionary War soldier whose grave is in this county. (He was the great-grandson of Joseph Taylor) His parents, the late Joseph Irvin and Mary Miller Taylor, moved from Warren County in 1870 in a covered wagon to Crawford County, Kansas, where they were to spend the remaining years of their lives. "A leading Methodist layman and cattle rancher, Taylor died Monday of a heart attack while on a train en route from Pittsburg, Kansas to his ranch at Mt. View, Okla. Burial services were held Wednesday at Pittsburg. He was buried at the side of his wife, the former Ethel Caveness, who wrote a history of the Taylor family which had its roots in Kentucky and North Carolina. "Taylor, who visited Bowling Green several years ago to attend a family reunion, is survived by a son John Taylor, who is head of the Oklahoma Farm Bureau; and two daughters who reside in Oklahoma City and Detroit.  "Taylor also is survived by several cousins who reside in Warren County. They include Hubert Cherry, Preston Cherry and Mrs. Ida Miller, all of this city; Mrs. Garland Skiles, Rich Pond, and Mrs. Louise Reeves, Richardsville."

I am not sure the following child exists. 
I can't find her on any Census and she is not listed with this surname in the Sandhill Cemetery.  I am wondering if someone added Sarah as Sallie/Sally and the name morphed over time.  If you know the truth, please let me know.

      Thomas Best Taylor and Mary Elizabeth Runner

      Thomas Best Taylor
      Parents: Joseph Taylor and Polly Ann Hudnall
      Born: 9 July 1823 Richardsville, Warren,Kentucky
      Military:  Civil War (Union)
      Married: Mary Elizabeth Runner 27 February 1851 Richardsville, Warren, Kentucky
      Died: 29 September 1862 Evansville, Vanderburgh, Indiana
      Buried: Oak Hill Cemetery, Evansville, Vanderburgh, Indiana Section 24, row 12, grave 24
      Short life sketch:
      From “Family History of the Joseph Taylor, Jr. and Sarah Best Family”By Shari H. Franke

      Thomas Best Taylor, born 9 July 1823, near Richardsville, Warren, Kentucky, married 27 February 1851, Mary Elizabeth Runner, at Warren County, Kentucky. M. J. Evans performed the ceremony. Her father, William Runner was bondsman for the marriage.

      Thomas Best was a very handsome young man and a good farmer. Thomas must have felt a great responsibility when the Civil war started, for we know he joined the Union Army. He was a member of Company B, 38th Kentucky Infantry. He was shot in the arm accidentally by his own men while returning from a patrol. He was then taken to the Union Hospital at Evansville, Vanderburgh, Indiana, where he remained several months to recuperate. His arm had to be amputated and gangrene set in. Unfortunately, Thomas Best Taylor eventually died as a result of his wounds on 29 September 1862, at Evansville, Vanderburgh, Indiana. He was only 39 years old. He was buried at the U.S. Military Cemetery at Evansville.

      Mary Elizabeth Runner, born 17 March 1827, near Richardsville, Warren, Kentucky, was the daughter of William Runner and his first wife, Margaret Penner. She was a devoted wife, who loved her husband very much. We understand that she rode horseback in the rain, from Richardsville, Warren, Kentucky to Evansville, Vanderburgh, Indiana to see her injured husband at the Union Hospital. How hard it must have been for Mary Elizabeth to lose her husband at such a young age! She was left with two little boys to raise alone. They were only eight and five years old when Thomas B. died.

      Mary Elizabeth died on 18 November 1893, near Richardsville, Warren, Kentucky, where she was buried at the Green River Union Cemetery.
