Funeral services for Major Thomas F. Taylor, who passed away at his home here Sunday were held yesterday in San Francisco and burial was made in the National Cemetery.

For many years he was associated with the Board of Fire Underwriters of San Francisco, maintaining his home in San Rafael.

He is survived by a widow,Mrs. Anna P. Taylor, and a daughter, Barbara M. Taylor.

The funeral services were directed by Dr. F. E. Sawyer and were held by the George H. Thomas Post, G. A. R., of which the deceased was a member.
