1.) HAROLD A. TABOR Harold Adelman Tabor was the second child of A. E. Tabor and Nancy Ann Bullard Tabor. He died April 7, 1977, at Decatur County Hospital in Leon, Iowa.
An autobiographical statement he wrote several years ago begins:
"I was born on the 19th day of July 1897, near Wray, Col. On my mother's side, there was the heritage of several generations as members of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. My father learned of the church after meeting my mother but had joined the church and was actively engaged in its work before I was old enough to remember. Some of my first memories go back to Sunday school and church experiences. A few days following my eighth birthday I was baptized together with a number of other children and young people."
Loyalty to the principles of the church he joined and dedication to Jesus Christ marked his entire life.
A partial listing of his many occupations and interests illustrates his sense of stewardship which led him to serve wherever there was a community or individual need.
Most of his life Harold Tabor farmed, first near Wray, Colorado, and after 1945 near Lamoni, Iowa. He was a successful farmer, interested in innovations and in conservation of the land, and possessed a knowledge of good farming practices.
He participated in local politics and served in the Colorado State Legislature for 10 years and in the Iowa Legislature for one term.
He helped establish several businesses in Lamoni he felt were needed by the community and served on the boards of others. Among these were the Lamoni Creamery, the Co-Op Lumber and Supply Association, Community Builders, and the Lamoni Machinery Corp. In recent years he was an active member of the County Welfare Board, the Assessors Review Board, and the Area Council for the Aging.
He supported education in many ways: by financial donations, by encouraging his children and other youths to go to college, by teaching adult education classes in his home and at church, and by his own continual study. He attended Graceland College in 1917 and later took classes at the college when he moved to Lamoni.
He functioned in the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in a variety of official positions. He was ordained to the priesthood offices of Teacher in 1920, Priest in 1930, Elder in 1932, and High Priest in 1942. While in Colorado he served as pastor of the Wray branch from 1933 to 1945, was a Bishop's Agent, and was a counselor to the President of the Eastern Colorado District.
In 1945 the Tabor family felt led to move to Lamoni Stake. He assisted in the Oland congregation, was counselor to the Stake President from 1948 to 1958, was a member of the Lamoni Stake High Council for 20 years, and was manager of the church and Graceland College farms for several years.
He married Laura Curtis on November 23, 1919. They had five children who are all living: Mrs. Corinne F. Banks of Kansas City, Mo., Eugene H. Tabor, Mrs. Kathryn L. Blair of Lamoni, Iowa, Mrs, Nancy A. Harper of Raytown, Mo., and James R. Tabor of Des Moines, Iowa.
In addition to his wife, their children and marriage partners, he is survived by 17 grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren, and his sister, Mrs. Ellen Brown of Odessa, Mo.
Harold Tabor was a kind man, gentle and strong, intelligent and wise. He believed in the pervading love of God. It enabled him to freely give of himself in ministry to others. The fruits of his life are found in the communities he helped build and in the hope and joy he gave to the many persons who remember and love him.
