What Robert H. Taylor accomplished in the four decades that he called Bonham home was nothing short of remarkable. Starting in 1845 he held local elected office; in 1846 he volunteered and served in the Mexican-American War; in 1850 was elected to the Texas legislature, serving a total of 6 terms there; made a bold stand against secession in the lead up to the Civil War; served the Confederacy, obtaining the rank of colonel; briefly held a statewide office; participated as a delegate to the 1866 Texas Constitutional Convention; was on the ballot for a statewide office in 1873. And if that wasn’t enough, he simultaneously maintained a successful law practice in Bonham and earned a reputation as a good husband and father.
