Taylor Vaughn Cawood, “Pepaw,” 88, a lifelong resident of Cleveland, reached his heavenly home on Thursday morning, March 11, 2021. He passed peacefully at Legacy Village surrounded by those he loved the most.
Taylor was born on May 8, 1932, to Taylor (killed in the line of duty prior to his birth) and Charlie Annie Cawood. Being the youngest of seven siblings and growing up without a father, he developed his faith, strong work ethic and love for family at an early age. He met the love of his life, the late Jean Rogers Cawood in high school and was married for 63 years.

Alvin J. “Cotton” Harris, born in 1924 and a lifelong resident of Bradley County, escaped these earthly bounds on Thursday, Jan. 7, 2021, to join his high school sweetheart and wife of more than 70 years.
In World War II, he served in the Navy aboard the Destroyer U.S.S. Herzog in North Atlantic’s “Torpedo Alley” (1943-44). From 1945-46, he was stationed at the Y Squadron in Annapolis, Maryland, where he achieved Yeoman 2nd class.
He was a wholesale car dealer, then a retail dealer, and back to a wholesale dealer in Cleveland for many years and knew just about everybody. He was quick to make friends and give them all nicknames.
