Marriage
Taylor was married to Buda Godman, the 19 year old daughter of Otho and Julia Godman of Chicago, on November 4, 1907. Buda (born Helen Julia Godman) had met Tell Taylor about two years previously when Tell Taylor was an invited dinner guest at St. Joseph's Convent and Academy in Adrian, Michigan. Tell Taylor had just started his career, and was appearing with a traveling stage company in Adrian. Buda and Tell had become good friends before dinner was over, but did not correspond afterward. Two years later, while attending the performance of "The Girl Question" at a theater in Chicago, Buda recognized Tell and sent a note to him backstage, and they became reacquainted. After spending much of their time together lunching and dining during the following week, they met once again for dinner at a downtown Chicago hotel, and sent for a judge to marry them in the hotel's parlor.
