Phoenix Advertiser Minooka News, Aug 20, 1903
Ezra Tabler, whose injuries in an accident we chronicled last week, died at 
his home Thursday evening after three days of intense suffering. Mr. Tabler 
fell on an upright pitchfork handle while assisting in threshing, Monday, Aug. 
10, and the handle entered his groin and penetrated up into his lungs. There 
was no possibility for his recovery although he received prompt medical 
attendance. The shocking accident cast a gloom of sorrow over the whole 
community and the family that is bereft has the sincere sympathy of all. Mr. 
Tabler was 59 years of age last October and had resided here nearly all his 
life. He was a good neighbor and citizen and kind husband and father. He 
leaves a widow, two daughters, Mrs. Charles Calvin, and Mrs. Henry Laddamore, 
and one son, Henry Tabler, all of Aux Sable. The funeral took place Sunday at 
1 o'clock from the home, conducted by Rev. Beddoes of the Seward 
Congregational church. The interment was at the Aux Sable cemetery. The 
bearers were six brothers, E. B. Tabler, of Minooka, Jerome, of Channahon, 
Nathaniel, Lewis and William, of Aux Sable, and Farady of Chicago. The eldest 
of these is 67 and the youngest but 22. The funeral was one of the most 
largely attended ever seen here, there being 106 teams in the cortege. Mr. 
Tabler's was the third accidental death in his family. One of his brothers 
went through the whole civil war and came out unscathed to be kicked in the 
head by a mule a few months later and he died from the blow. Another brother 
was killed by a train at New Lenox ten years ago. There are two sisters 
living, Mrs. John McCloud, of Indiana, and Miss Anna Tabler, of Chicago.
