TAZEWELL COUNTY, VA - NEWSPAPERS - Clich Valley News, 19 May 1905 ----€€€---- "Clinch Valley News" Tazewell, Tazewell Co., VA Friday, May 19, 1905 TABORSVILLE DAMAGE BY STORM Taborsville, Va., May 9 Well, everybody is done planting corn, and we are having plenty of rain at present to make the grass grow. …………….. VESTOR WAGNER , of Cane Creek, was visiting relatives on Mud Fork last week, returning to his home Sunday evening. [I hope someone can help with this kinsman as I have no idea of his line. The ONLY Waggnor/Wagner I have with a "V" is Paul Vernon Wagner but he wasn’t born until 1928 and a s/o Oscar Frazier Wagner Buelah Franklin Lynch. Buelah was my mother, Hettie Marie (Shrader) Eagle’s, school teacher at the Wexler Tabor School at Mudfork, Tazewll Co., VA., in the 1920’s]. ………….. B. P. COMPTON went to Springville last Saturday for business. [Ballard Preston Compton, s/o Cornelius Compton &. Rebecca Jane Patterson. B. P. married Delilah Harless]. ……………… HIRAM COMPTON says if he takes a notion to make a preacher of himself his first text will be, "It is not good for man to live alone." [Hram Alonzo Compton, s/o Cornelius Compton & Rebecca Jane Patterson. Hiram lost his wife, Nancy Jane Belcher, on 29 June 1903, who was the d/o Moses J.. Belcher & Nancy Elizabeth Jane Tabor]. ……………… 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. [I believe to have been Henry J. Tabor, 1861-1930, s/o Stephen Paris Tabor & Eleanor ‘Ellen’ Havens. H. J. Tabor married Mary Arminta Wagner, d/o Rev. Adam Edward Waggoner & Juline/Julianna Elinor Tabor. James C. Fink married Cynthia M. Dudley , d/o Hugh D. Dudley & Mary Pane Shuffleberger]. ………………. It is said there is more hay left over from last winters feeding in this section than ever was known before, but likely there will be a demand for it next winter. ……… The storm last Friday gave the people of this section a scare, and did a great deal of damage through the entire neighborhood, blowing down timer, apple trees, fencing and washing plowed land. ………….. E. C. LUSK, of Mora, W. Va., was in Taborsville last Saturday. He reported two killed and several crippled in the storm at his place. A little boy, 12-years old, and a(n) Italian, both killed by timber falling on houses. [ I believe to be the husband of either Maria or Harriet Compton, daughters of Ballard Preston Compton & Delilah Harless].
