FOLLOWUP
William's parents were Alonzo J. and Lucille L. (Cook) Taylor. [obituary-william-taylor-2019]
William Taylor and Estelle (Brech Freier) Hoover may have been married 21 Nov 1959 in Sublette, Wyoming. Certifcate number 2728. Unfortunately, the only record I have found (on Ancestry, FamilySearch, or Newspapers.com) is a list with very little information (or even column titles), and attempts to look up a certificate on the Wyoming vital records site results in bad links. A visit to the archives in person may be required. (Wyoming State Archives; Barrett Building; 2301 Central Avenue Cheyenne, WY; parking from Warren Ave.) (from Wyoming, U.S., Marriage Records, 1869-1971 database on Ancestry, citing Wyoming State Archives, Death, Marriage, and Divorce Index Cards, Earliest Years up to 1967.)
He was survived by his sons {private} and daughters {private}. [obituary-william-taylor-2019]
