D. TABOR, of Bluestone was over last week dressing the barrs (sic) for J. C. Holbrook & Co. ["Barrs"- a term long lost. J. D. Tabor-A strong possibility that this was Jacob Daniel Tabor, s/o Amos H. Tabor & Cynthia .J. D. Tabor was known as JAKE Tabor and he lived at Bluestone, Tazewelll Co., VA]. ……………….. ED BUCKLAND was up from Freeman last Monday. He says he is living seven days out of the week and that every other day appears like Sunday. He paid his uncle HUGH the usual visit. [I am lost as I thought it was Charles EDWARD Buckland, Sr, s/o William Jasper Buckland & Emily ‘Emma ‘ Tabor. However for Edward Buckland to visit his Uncle Hugh it doesn’t fit. His father did have a brother, Hugh Buckland, but Hugh Buckland, his wife, Josephine Lilly Harless and their only child, a son Lelander Buckland, burned to death in a fire on May 5, 1886, Charles Edward Buckland. Sr.’s mother, Emily Tabor, did not have any brothers named Hugh Tabor, as a given or middle name. I hope some one can help us with this riddle]. BLAKE TABOR, from the yards, was in the village this week. [There was a William BLAKE Tabor but he had left for ND in May of 1901. Perhaps he had returned by 1902. William BLAKE Tabor was the s/o William CROUCH Tabor & his first wife, Sarah V. Butt. This family of William CROUCH Tabor was also in ND.

(William Crouch Tabor, s/o Andrew Jackson Tabor who was killed in the Civil War- & Juliana Belcher). ………….. MRS. ALEX BUCKLAND and MISS HANEY TABOR (were shopping in Graham last Tuesday. [I BELIEVE Mrs. Alex Buckland to be Mrs. Jacob Alexnader ‘Alex’ Buckland and her maiden name?Sarah Jane Tabor, d/o James Harrison Tabor & Nancy Moore Runyon/Runion. Miss Haney Tabor-I am not certain. I wonder if it was a typing error? Harriet T. ‘Tennie’ Tabor is a possibility but after that guess I am lost. I have NEVER heard of a Haney Tabor in this area. There was a Haney May Tabor, but she was not born until 1926!] ………… MRS. HUGH GREEN has just returned from a visit to Monroe Co, W. Va. …………….. Frost done considerable damage to vegetables on the highland in this locality ………….. Farmers report meadows as being below the average ………. We are informed that a regular street fight occurred at tip Top last Monday, in which men, women and children were engaged, but no new additions to the grave yard are reported ………. A number of people from this place took in GOV. BOB TAYLORS lecture at Pocahontas last Monday night. ……………… It is strange how some people can see faults of a certain nature, yet they are not able to discover anything else. ………… We learn that MRS. MARY ASSHER, of Bluestone is dangerously ill, with no hope of recovery. ………….. Time only can tell some things and they are often strange. ………… Karen EAGLE Moman arizonaeagle@qwest.net May 2002 ………….
