Tabor (circa 1822- 1885) and Cynthia McPherson (circa 1823-1899). (296) Alex was the Master Mason of the Harman Masonic Lodge #222, at Bluefield, Tazewell County, from 1887 to 1888. (297) In 1900, Alexander lived with James and Juda Caldwell in Clearfork. He was a miller and was boarding with the couple and their three children. (298) On 8 March 1901, it was reported that "Alex Tabor is attending to the Post Office. Lee Barber says he would do very well if he was not warped." (299) In June, Alex was reported to be very sick with rheumatism. (300) A. W. Tabor, the brightest Blue Lodge Mason in this part of the section, was raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason 30 years ago July 25. Also twenty-four years ago to the very day he received the mark of Masters Degree which was conferred upon him by Dr. Jas. O'Keeffe in another state. Dr. A. M. is a [pillar] of information in Masonic circles, and a more zealous Mason never passed through the mysteries of this great order. (301) In late July 1902: "Dr. A. W. Tabor , of Falls Mills, paid our camp a visit last Monday evening dining with us at Little Italy Hotel." (302) In August 1902: "The oldest Mason in the march at Harman Lodge last Sunday in Graham was A. W. Tabor, of Falls Mills. While his companion second in age was L. J. Barbee, of Graham. These two gentlemen are great pillars of information in Masonic circles in this section...Our friend A. W. Tabor, say not only is his heart in the Masonic work at Graham, but there are other enterprises which (are) equally as interesting. This leaves us room to judge for ourselves, we will keep an open eye on the doctor in the future. (303) In March 1905 he was reported to be ill from rheumatism. After several weeks he was reported to be worse. (304) He supplied a list of the members of Company I, 16th Regiment, Virginia Cavalry for the Civil War in January 1906 to the Clinch Valley News. (305) The following week the paper published a story about Alex's service during the war: "CAPTURE OF A. W. TABOR-A WAR INCIDENT In connection with the publication of the roster of Co. I, in the paper, the following incident will be interesting: Mr. A. W. Tabor, Falls Mills, was perhaps the youngest member of the company, being about 17 years of age when he volunteered. He was captured at Moorefield, West Virginia, in 1864 and he tells his experience about as follows: About a hundred of us were out on a short scouting trip, when, the first thing we knew we were among a lot of Yankee Cavalry-seemed to me about five thousand of them. We broke down the road, as fast as our horses could go. The first thing I knew, I was pitching over my horse's head, my horse was shot dead, and I thought I was dead, too. I felt blood running down my face. And then I didn't remember anything else for some time, until I heard somebody holler, "halt." I looked around, and there was a big Yankee standing by me, with a big pistol pointing at me. I was out in an old field. It seems that when my horse fell I got up runnin' and kept on runnin', and perhaps would have been runnin' yet if that Yankee hadn't halted me. When I fell from my horse my head was the first place to hit the ground, cutting a great gash and dazing me so that I didn't know anything, but I hadn't forgotten how to run, you bet. My captor ordered me to give up my arms, and asked me who I was, and I told him I didn't know. He asked me if I was shot, I told him I didn't know, and he said I seemed to be able to run alright. Now what do you think that Yankee did? I'll be dad-blamed if he didn't get right down off his horse and told me to get up, as I wasn't able to walk, and he walked beside me, leading the horse, and treated me just like a brother. Further on, he got up in front, and I rode behind him into camp, where I was treated with every consideration. In a day or two I slipped out and got away, and went back to my regiment. I halfway believe they didn't care whether I got away or not. You may say what you please, but they were good kindhearted men on the other side. I never have forgotten the kindness of this Yankee soldier. He was a member of Indiana regiment, and I'd be the gladdest in the world to see him and thank him for his kindness to a soldier boy in trouble. If he is living I hope he is happy and prosperous, and if he is dead, that his soul is at peace and rest," and Alex took out his handkerchief and blew his nose. Many an old soldier can tell of similar kind treatment on the part of the enemy. Judge Graham, who was a member of this Company, tells an interesting story of how, when severely wounded he was kindly treated by his captors and everything possible done for him. We hope to get him to tell it for the benefit of our readers. Also, any other incidents by members of this or any other Company, will be interesting, and gladly published in this paper." (306) The newspaper noted that Alex's brother J. D. 'Jake' Tabor had also "so far escaped the snares and traps set for him by Cupid, and seems to be happy in a state of single blessedness. Like Esan, these old bachelors will repent some day, but find, perhaps, no place of repentance." (307) In June 1908 it was reported that: "Alex Tabor and R. E. Mitchell, postmaster and, N. and W. Agent at Falls Mills, respectively, were interested visitors to the city on Wednesday. Mitchell is boss and general manager and Plenipotentiary of the falls Mills baseball team. For the name of the team and further particulars we refer you, by permission to Alex Tabor." (308) In April 1910, Alex went to town with Joseph Peak for Pension day. (309) Alex was reported to be doing fine in October 1910, "except a little cross at times, which is, perhaps to be expected. (310) Alex died on 5 July 1912, probably in Tazewell County, and is buried in the Tabor Lane Cemetery in Bluestone, Tazewell County. (311) Ballard Witten Tabor was born on 30 (or 31) January 1860 at Mudfork, Tazewell County, son of Stephen Paris Tabor (1825-1888) and Eleanor 'Ellen' Havens (1832-1901). (312) Ballard was married by P. P. Kinzer on 24 May 1893 in Tazewell County to Florence Virginia Wagner. (313) Florence was born on 17 January 1877 at Mudfork, daughter of Rev. Adam Edward Wagner and Julianna Elinor Tabor. (314) In 1900, Ballard and Florence lived in Clearfork District of Tazewell County. He was a farmer and Florence was keeping house, caring for their three sons: Wallis, John, and Felix. (315) In June 1902, Ballard was visited by James Hawley. (316) In March 1905, Ballard and Florence visited the home of H. S. Perdue: "Ballard says he got value received for his visit when he was invited to the dining room at noon where he spent about 30 minutes as busy as a bee." (317) In March 1905, the Tabors were visited by their niece Florence Perdue. (318) The following month Ballard "was on Laurel Fork last Saturday looking after his real estate interest. (319) In 1910, Ballard and Florence lived in Clearfork District. The census taker listed their eight children: Walter, John, Felix, Lizzie, Daisy, Raymond, Mary, and Claude. (320) Ten years later Ballard was still farming. Florence was still taking care of six children: Felix, Daisy, William, Mary, Nellie, and Garnet. (321) Ballard died on 13 March 1926 and is buried in the Harry Cemetery in Falls Mills, Tazewell County. (322) Florence died on 26 May 1941 at Bluefield, Mercer County, West Virginia. (323) Ballard and Florence (Wagner) Tabor were the parents of ten children: (324) i. Walter Price Tabor was born in 1894. Walter died in 1930. ii. John Howard Tabor was born in 1896.

Holbrook on 10 October 1891 in Tazewell County to Mary Arminta Wagner. (326) Mary was born on 9 May 1872 in Tazewell County, daughter of Rev. Adam Wagner and Juliana Tabor. (327) In 1900, Henry worked as a farmer in the Clearfork District of Tazewell County. Mary was caring for their five children: Martin, Adam, John, Edna, and Shug. (328) In 1901 the Clinch Valley News reported: "I will give a short description of our little town: It is about one half mile West of Falls Mills. We have about 60 or 70 inhabitants and they are principally Tabors and Belchers, all the very best of citizens, we only have one store, but it is a good strong wealthy community. So, it can furnish the entire town and surrounding country in goods at a low figure. Mr. H. J. Tabor is the head gentleman of this company." (329) Henry was visited by James Hawley in June 1902. He had been sick for a few days. (330) In August 1902: "H. J. Tabor, the hustling merchant of Taborsville, was on the streets in Pocahontas last week smoking fine cigars and buying groceries." (331) In March 1905 it was reported that Henry was putting up a new gate. (332) In April 1905, Henry was "getting in lumber to build himself a new house." (333) The following month: "We have been informed by H. J. Tabor, who has been running the Falls mill for nearly two years, that it will change hands soon, as his time expires, which is the first day of next August. We understand that Mr. Jas. Fink, of Falls Mills, will take charge of the mill at that time." (334) In June 1908, he was quoted as saying: "H. J. Tabor, of Falls Mills, was in town on Tuesday, and changed ends of the tally stick. When asked about the Tabors, he said, " they are all hard lots except Alex." (335) In 1910, Henry and Mary lived in Clearfork with their children: Martin, Adam, John, Edna, Bertie, Edward, Gracie, Henry, and Eula.

Patrica had planted peonies (or, as we called them. peony roses or in some areas they were called piney roses) all the way from the road to the house.
