Description:	4-1/2 x 6-1/2 photograph of Geo. H. Taylor fa Dr. Langworthy Taylor.Portrait of George H. Taylor. Kate Fox lived in the Taylor home where she was nursed back to health, and where she lived during the compilation of the Fox-Taylor Records.Excerpt are taken from the book, Katie Fox and the Fox Taylor Record, written by the Taylor son, William who took his material from the records kept by his parents. See pages below. It was in 1865 that Katie was brought by Dr. Bayard, a homeopathic physician residing in 40th Street, New York City, to the Swedish Movement Cure of Dr. George Taylor, as a suitable boarding place... Dr. Taylors establishment included the two houses located on the northeastern corner of 6th Avenue and 38th Street and still (1930) standing. George Henry Taylor was born in Wolliston, Vermont, January 4, 1821. He studied medicine at the Arvard and New York medical schools, and visited Sweden in 1858 in order to fully appreciate, at the source, the Swedish passive gymnastics for chronic invalids. On his return he invented, with the traditional ingenity of the natives of his home state, steam-driven machines for massage, perhaps the first systematic application of vibratory, artificial power to curative purposes. He died in New York City, at the Dalhousie apartment, 49th Street, December 9, 1896. p. 139. The continuous record began November 1869. Dr. Bayard must have ceased paying her board before that. With the passing of the main line of intermundane correspondence over to the Taylor family, the burden of supporting Katie passed to them also. No one paid her board after the assistance from Dr. Bayard ceased. Katie was a charge to the Taylors.
