| OLGA TAYLOR |
Photo taken: E & N Snelling Studio, Cedarville CA, circa 1905
Purchased: 2016 Springfield OR, Antique Peddlars
These two photographs of OLGA TAYLOR, taken at different points in her life were both acquired at the same Antique Shop in Springfield Oregon.
The first is of a young girl around 9 years old. The inscription on the back of this photo identifies Olga Taylor, but also says "Mrs. J W Taylor, Eagleville Cal, near Mrs. Lowry" and was perhaps destined to be delivered to Mrs. J W Taylor.
She is found in the Census of 1910 with her parents.
1910 CENSUS > California > Modoc > Dewey
TAYLOR, John W., head, 45, born in NY of English parents, farmer
TAYLOR, Lola, wife, 42, born in CA of Missouri parents
TAYLOR, Olga M., daughter, 14, born in CA
TAYLOR, Helen C., daughter, 12, born in CA
TAYLOR, Russell V., son, 4, born in CA
An interesting note is that the next household on the census is the Lowry family.
The other photograph was taken when Olga was around 17 or 18 (best guess).
She married George Eschtruth (1893-1988).
1940 Census > California > Santa Clara > San Jose
ESCHSTRUTH, George, head, 46, born in Oregon, (no occupation given)
ESCHSTRUTH, Olga M., wife, 43, born in CA
ESCHSTRUTH, Paul J., son 6 mo., born in California
City Directories show that from at least 1932 through at least 1972, George and Olga lived in the same house at 243 S. 18th Street San Jose CA.
Califoria Death Index shows:
Olga Maude Eschstruth, born 2 May 1896, died 6 Nov 1981. Father J W Taylor, mother Lola Vaughn.
Her son Paul Taylor Eschstruth (b. abt Oct 1939). In 1957, he was named National merit scholar as a student at San Jose High School.
UPDATE - From the same booth at Antiques Peddlars came these two photos which also bear the surname TAYLOR. These turn out to be Olga's siblings which are listed with her on the 1910 Census in Dewey California.

In 1940 Census for Gerlach, Washoe County, NV, he is listed with wife Dorothy (Brannon or Barron) and a daughter Gwendolyn who was born abt 1933.
