John Delose TaylorBorn 31 January 1894 Plain City, Weber, Utah Territory
Occupation: Farmer (1917-40)

| He was a Farmer |
Ogden Arsenal - US Government (1942) according to his WW2 draft registration (he was 48) he worked at "37 MM" After a little research, I found out that 37 MM was a small building in Layton, where employees were assembling primers for anti-tank ammunition hence the 37mm designation. You can see what the building he worked in looked like, and a picture of a woman doing some work that he might have been doing while there, here: https://www.loc.gov/resource/hhh.ut0651.photos/?sp=7&st=image and you can see what the rounds looked like here: http://www.inert-ord.net/usa03a/usa5/37mm/
