Tabler, David C. (deceased) – The record of a good man's life shows what he 
accomplished, and continues to exert a beneficent influence over the actions 
of his fellow creatures long after all that is mortal of him returns to the 
dust from which it was raised. The late David C. Tabler has been dead for many 
years, but his memory is tenderly cherished, and the influence of his action 
remains to aid others in their life struggle. Mr. Tabler was born in Delaware 
County, O., July 12, 1833, a son of Nathaniel and Mary Ann (Cryder) Tabler, 
natives of Ohio. The parents came to Aux Sable Township in the early thirties, 
entering land from the government. The Cryder family is also numbered among 
the pioneer ones of Grundy County. David C. Tabler grew to manhood in Aux 
Sable Township, and remained with his father until his marriage, which 
occurred June 3, 1854, when he was united with Gulia E. McCloud, born in 
Oneida County, N. Y., October 28, 1834, daughter of John and Paulina 
(Richetson) McCloud, natives of Vermont and New York, who came to Kendall 
County, Ill., in 1835, driving across country with horses and wagons, the 
journey consuming six weeks.

After his marriage, David C. Tabler spent two years in Saratoga Township, and 
returning to Aux Sable Township, rented land until 1860. In that year he and 
his brother Nathaniel bought 120 acres in Aux Sable Township, operating it in 
partnership for ten years. At that time they divided the property, to which 
they had added, and David C. Tabler received 126 acres as his share. On it he 
carried on general farming and stock raising until his death by accident on 
April 20, 1889. Since this sad event, his widow has resided on the place with 
her family. Mr. and Mrs. Tabler were the parents of the following children: 
Mary Eliza, who was born December 29, 1857, died September 28, 1863; Frank 
Henry, who was born March 13, 1863, died July 18, 1882; Lillian Elma, who was 
born January 18, 1868, died September 29, 1877; Irvin J., who was born July 
13, 1874, died June 11, 1876; and Minnie, who was born December 5, 1878, 
married on December 23, 1908, William S. Lutzow. Mr. Lutzow was born in Seward 
Township, Kendall County, Ill., a son of George and Johanna (Olson) Lutzow, 
natives of Germany and Sweden, respectively. Mr. and Mrs. Lutzow rent the farm 
from Mrs. Tabler, Mrs. Lutzow being the only living child of her parents.  The 
family all belong to the Methodist Church and are very prominent in their 
neighborhood.
