Abner Taylor

Abner Taylor (1829 - April 13 1903) was a U.S. Representative from Illinois.

Born in Bangor, Maine, Taylor moved with his parents to Champaign County, Ohio in 1832, thence to Fort Dodge, Iowa, and subsequently to Chicago, Illinois in 1860. He engaged in extensive contracting, building, and mercantile pursuits, and participated in the construction of the Texas State Capitol. He served as a member of the Illinois House of Representatives from 1884 to 1886. He served as a delegate to the 1884 Republican National Convention.

Taylor was elected as a Republican to the Fifty-first and Fifty-second Congresses (March 4 1889-March 3 1893). He was not a candidate for renomination in 1892. He resumed the building and contracting business. He died in Washington, D.C. in 1903, and was interred in Rock Creek Cemetery.
