  Obituary- Taber, James James Floyd Taber was born in Kentucky Sept. 10, 1864, and died March 29. At two years of age he was brought to Kansas coming by water down the Ohio river, up the Missouri and Kaw, landing at Lawrence. They lived for a little time between Lawrence and Topeka, later moving on west of Topeka where he grew to manhood. He was married Oct. 11, 1887 to Miss Millicent Jane Reedy. Some time later they bot [sic] a farm on the 10th street road, a few miles west of Topeka, selling out there 20 years ago they bought the farm northwest of Dover while it was still unimproved. Building here, they have made it their home ever since. He leaves to mourn besides his widow, his 10 children, Floyd, of Topeka: Mrs. Maude Ottinger of Plattville, Col.; Ben of Morland; Mrs. Iva Smith of Gill, Col.; Mrs. Ida Lemon of Rossville; Mrs. Pearl Zimmerman; Frank, Roy, Carl, Goldie, all of Dover; three brothers and two sisters, Giles Taber of Dover, Rufus Williams of Topeka; Amos Williams of Lpokout, Okla.; Mrs. Vina Williams Topeka and Mrs. Jennie Sturdyvan, who lives in Iowa. There are also 12 grandchildren. He was well known and a respected citizen, one who had practically spent his life in Shawnee county, having seen it develop from a frontier to a highly cultivated and prosperous community. A host of friends and old neighbors mourn his loss. Funeral services were in the church at Dover, April 1, by Rev. W. M. Randles and interment in the Dover cemetery. Again we are reminded how rapidly the old settlers have passed away in the past year or 18 months.
