Geocache Description:

TAYLOR, TELL Vanlue, Hancock County, Ohio, October 14, 1876- November 24, 1937 Comedy actor, and composer of more than twenty sentimental songs, the best known of which is "Down by the Old Mill Stream". The song, words and music, was written and published about 1910 while Taylor was teaching rural school, and was made popular by the vaudeville team, "The Orpheus Comedy Four" who first used it in that year. More than 5,000,000 copies have been sold. (Recorded by the "Capital City Four", Victor). Taylor was born on a farm five miles east of Findlay. The Blanchard River which he swam as a boy was the original "Mill Stream". The old Misamore Mill at the bridge is gone but the site is still visible. As a young man Tell sang in church choirs in Findlay and was often called to neighborhing towns to give programs. While singing at the Pan American Exposition at Buffalo he was engaged for a musical comedy which began his long vaudeville career. He established the Tell Taylor Music Publishing House at 177 North State Street, Chicago, where he made his headquarters and lived some years; then returned to Findlay to live the last ten years of his life. At the time of his death he was enroute to Los Angeles to assist in the production of a moving picture based on his famous song, was stricken by a heart attack in Chicago, and buried in Van Horn Cemetery at Findlay.
