Tazewell Court House,
Tazewell Co., VA
Friday, March 25, 1887

REV. JOHN BORING, of the Elk garden Circuit commenced a protracted
meeting last Tuesday night, and has preached at the Methodist church
both morning and night since. He will probably remain several days
longer. Mr. Boring is no stranger here amongst the older people. He
traveled Jeffersonville Circuit about 1858, when it covered  all the
ground embraced in five of the present charges. He raised #300 for
Missions, perhaps four times the amount reached before. The fruits of
his former years are yet manifest-but in Heaven the preacher may be
astonished at the work of his hands.

[The rest of the article was not copied. I hope to get it later. Henry
Jefferson Tabor & Sarah Ann/Adeline ‘Suzy’ Scott named one of their sons
John Boring Tabor and he became a minister. Richard Adam Tabor & Mildred
Permelia Shrader named a son after Rev. Edward C. Wexler-Edward Wexler
Tabor. Rev. Edward C. Wexler was also a Circuit Riding Methodist
Minister. Both ministers, Rev. John Boring and Rev. Edward C. Wexler,
preached at the OLD Macedonia Methodist Church at Mudfork, Tazewell Co.,
VA where many of our Tabor ancestors, and related kin, knelt in prayer.

Jeffersonville was the name of Tazewell, Tazewell Co., VA before it was
called Tazewell Court House. From 1886-1892 it was known as Tazewell
Court House, Tazewell Co., VA then it became Tazewell, Tazewell Co., VA.

Rev. Edward Wexler rode the circuit in 1852 and Rev. John Boring in 1857
and 1858. A William M. Boring rode the circuit in 1878 ?PERHAPS a son of
Rev. John Boring, or a kinsman].
