Tabler, Henry R. – The agriculturalists of Grundy County are an intelligent 
class who appreciate the value of scientific operation of their land and 
sensibly adopt those methods which they believe will aid them in bringing 
about the best results. One of these progressive farmers is Henry R. Tabler of 
Aux Sable Township. Mr. Tabler was born in this township December 15, 1872, a 
son of Ezra and Helen (Randall) Tabler, both natives of Aux Sable Township. 
The paternal grandfather, Nathaniel Tabler, was one of the pioneers of Grundy 
County.

Henry R. Tabler lived at home, on the farm, and attended the local public 
schools until his marriage, following which he was with his father-in-law, in 
Will County, but after a year moved on a portion of his father's homestead. 
The property is well improved and the buildings are large and were erected 
with the view of complying with the best sanitary regulations. Mr. Tabler has 
sixty-five acres under cultivation, and thirty acres in pasturage, 
specializing on grain farming and stock raising.

On July 1, 1896, Mr. Tabler was united in marriage with Emma Johnson, born in 
Shannahan, Will County, Ill., daughter of Robert and Julia (Douglas) Johnson, 
natives of Joliet, Ill. The paternal grandparents, Adam and Mary Johnson, came 
from the north of Ireland, while the maternal grandparents, William and 
Jerusha Douglas, were born in New York State. Mr. and Mrs. Tabler have the 
following children: Hazel A., Raymond Robert, and Eugene Howard. Mr. Tabler is 
interested in getting good men in office and is independent in his political 
views. For nine years he served as school director of his district, and was as 
efficient as an official as he is in everyday life.
