In Memory of Sallie Tabor - Sallie Willoughby Tabor, daughter of the late Hiram and Martha Willoughby, was born may 20, 1873, and departed this life Sept. 10, 1955, at the age of 82 years, three months and 21 days. She was married to Willie Tabor in 1900 and to this union four children were born. One little boy died at about two years of age. He husband also passed away 12 years ago. Those surviving are Mrs. Karl C. Buchanon with whom she made her home; Mrs. Lewie Willoughby, and Murl Tabor; three step-children, Mrs. Rena Meador of Louisville, Mrs. Queen Williams and Milburn Tabor. Another one of her step-children, Mrs. Ethel Oliver of Indianapolis, passed away just a few months ago. These children she loved as she did her very own and never made any difference in them and her own. She also leaves 22 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren; one brother, Mr. Hubert Willoughby.She professed faith in Christ in early life and joined Clifton General Baptist Church and remained true to her God until the end. Although she had been confined to to her bed for 12 long years she was always cheerful and patient and always saying, "I am jsut waiting until the Lord is ready to take me home and she would always say "I have so much to be thankful for. Her sweet smile and kind words will live with her many many friends who visited her so often. And she had friends - therehas never been anyone down as long as she has that had as much company the whole time as she did. Then we know the saying "Friends are worth more than money" is true in this case. She was not only a mother to her children and step-children but took her nieces and nephews into her home and tried to be a mother to them. She also took her mother and sister and gave them a home as long as her mother lived. He mother was in bed for several years and she was a kind to her mother as Annie has been to her. In fact when she and Uncle Willie had their home it was everybody's home and their doors were open to both black and white. If anyone needed money or a place to stay a few weeks they went there and no one was ever turned away. If the truth was known I guess they gave more money to people in Allen County than any other couple. Then we are made to wonder why one so goodwas called on to suffer so much. But tody they both will enjoy their treasures in heaven that they sent up years ago. Children, today your parents have left you something of the greatest importance. Not silver and gold but something worth far more than money -- their sweet Christian life ..........(Obit located among the Erskine Garrison collection at Allen Co KY Historical Society, Scottsville, KY; no date or name of newpaper included)
