1t dates from the year 1900. when Peri

grace the festivities OF the marriage OF
Henry Nv. OF France and Maria de

Another Pioneer Passes Away


Another pioneer of Nevada crossed
the divide this morning. when the ewes
of James Henry Tabcr, one of Eiku's
most highly respected citizens, closed
forever or earthly scenes.
Mr.. Taber was born in Westmoreland
county, Pennsylvania. ON the 2Gth of
August 1881. In 1882. his parents
moved to Henry county, Illinois. where
they resided until 1914 when they
moved to Iowa. In 1876. the family
crossed the plains to California, the
journey being made with OK teams.
They settled in Contra Costa county
and Mr.. Taber and his father enlisted
and served in the Mexican war. In
California, the subject of this sketch
followed mining, merchandising ana
freighting. In 1862. he moved 10
Carson City and in the following spring
he followed the mining excitement to
Austin. He mined there for a short
time and was then elected sheriff. He
served two years as sheriff and four
years rs deputy. In 1871, he came TO
Elko county and engaged in the stock
business. In 1882. he was elected
sheriff of this county and filled the office
10 wa aftrrward
deputy sheriff for six years.
In 1877 he married Miss MIrgAret

his left hip and iniuring himself intern

going 20 the door found him ON his
hands and knees on the porch. Two
men passing by assisted him into the
house and DIR. Ely was summoned. He
was made as comfortable rs possible
and indications were favOrable for his
ultimate recovery. The Internal iniur
les, however, were severe and hcmor'
rhages set in. Medical skill could no,
control the internal bleeding AMI Mr..
Tabcr grew weaker and weaker unit
the summons came.
Henry Taber.a as everybody called him
was one of Elko's best citizens. For ov-
! err - years he has been "a familiar figure
on IL streets. He was an honorable,
upright man in private life and as al
official his record is without u stain
