    From Saint Croix Courier, 28 June 1888:   "Harvey Station -- Andrew Taylor has been the first to introduce the bicycle in the village.   Quite a crowd gathers around to see him taking a spin with it of an evening."

    From Centennial Corner, Daily Gleaner, 17 May 1991 (From Daily Gleaner 17 May 1891):   "A dreadful occurrence happened at Harvey Station on Saturday morning last, the 16th inst. a young man, Andrew Taylor, nephew of John Taylor of York Woollen mills, was preparing to go shooting, and was drawing the gun out from behind a chest when it was discharged.   The load of shot struck him on the upper part of the head, and tore the whole top of the skull to pieces.   Patches of the brain were scattered over the walls and ceiling.   Mr Taylor and his family were at breakfast when the accident happened.   It has thrown a gloom over the community.   The young man was twenty-two years of age and was a general favorite in the parish where he was born."
