Elias Tabler Funeral Will be Held Tomorrow, February 23, 1921

Elias Tabler, who died yesterday in his home in Minooka, will be buried 
tomorrow afternoon in Aux Sable cemetery. Services will be held in Minooka M. 
E. church at 2 o’clock. Mr. Tabler was 84 years old and was one of the very 
earliest settlers in Grundy county. His father, Nathaniel H. Tabler, was one 
of the second group of pioneers to unload their prairie ______ camp on one of 
the choicest spots in Nature’s gifts. The first actual settler of Aux Sable 
was Salmon Rutherford, who came in 1833 from New York. He built a hotel and 
named it "Dresden." Following him came Mr. Tabler and family with Henry 
Cryder, Zach Walley and their families from Delaware county, Ohio. Elias was 
born in this spot where the three families settled. They lived there most of 
his life until 29 years ago, when he moved into Minooka. His father and mother 
came across country in the prairie schooner drawn by a yoke of oxen and 
followed by eight or ten head of cattle. In the "Aux Sable country" as it was 
then called, a log cabin was built and the prairie converted into productive 
soil. Nathaniel and wife reared their family in this pioneer surroundings and 
Elias was one of their children.
