This was taken from the History of Providence Baptist Church; The following account of P. N. Taylor's death was given by Mr. Edmund Burgher, Sr., Clay City, Kentucky. Mr. Burgher was in the 3C's (Civilian Conservation Corps) and returned home in the summer of 1934 to find no church services being held at his home church, Salem Baptist Church. Being concerned about the situation, Mr. Burgher encouraged his father, who was himself an ordained Baptist minister, to try to persuade Brother Taylor to come to Salem to preach. Brother Taylor readily agreed.
Edmund Burgher, Sr., was present in Salem Baptist Church that day June 4, 1934, when P. N. Taylor got up to preach what was to be his last sermon, a sermon he never completed. Midway through his message, he collapsed in the pulpit and when Mr. Burgher and the others went forward to offer their assistance, Brother Taylor looked and said, "Oh, isn't this beautiful, beautiful; isn't this so nice?"
A doctor was summoned but Pleasant Newton Taylor was dead at the age of sixty-seven. Evidently, just prior to departure from this world where he had labored faithfully for so many years and reaped so little of her material blessings, Brother Taylor caught a magnificent glimpse of his new home through the portals of heaven.
