| 501 | From the adoption suitability interview in 1937: "Katie Price is teaching school and Homer Price is running a cleaning establishment for cleaning and pressing clothes, they employ a reliable woman at the home to look after the child and keep house for them owing to the fact that Katie Price is teaching school." Homer ran a Dry Cleaning business in Follett with brother Hank (Henry). After Hank got out of the business, Homer moved the "Dry Cleaning Plant" to the farm and located it in their garage. Son Mackey (James Malcolm) recalls helping his dad when he (Mack) was a little boy. Homer would drive around to the neighboring farms and Mack would run the deliveries up to the neighbor's doors. After a time, Homer gave up the dry cleaning business and returned to farming, which is all he ever really wanted to do anyway. | Price, Homer (I190)

|
| 505 | From The History of Marshall County: The specific and distinctive office of biography is not to give voice to a man's modest estimate of himself and his accomplishments, but rather to leave the perpetual record establishing his character by the consensus of opinion on the part of his fellowmen. Throughout Marshall county and this part of the state Mr. Taber is spoken of in terms of admiration and respect. His life was varied in its activity, honorable in its purposes and far reaching and beneficial in its effects, and when he was called to the home beyond his fellow-townsmen mourned the loss of one whom they had come to esteem and honor by reason of his sterling manhood. Mr. Taber was a member of the Knights of Pythias and was treasurer of the lodge. From his boyhood days he was a member of the Church of God and loyal to its teachings and precepts. In politics he was a stanch Republican and in matters of citizenship was ever progressive, alert and enterprising. In no sense a man in public life, he nevertheless exerted an immeasurable influence on the communities in which he lived : In business life as a financier, in social circles by reason of a charming personality, in matters of citizenship by reason of his loyalty to the public welfare. In all of his business life he displayed an aptitude for successful management and maintained a reputation for probity and commercial integrity that was above question. | Taber, Thomas Oliver (I798)
|

It was subsequent to this time that he attended the Northern Indiana Normal School at Valparaiso | Taber, Thomas Oliver (I798)

| 507 | From The History of Wayne County entry for Enoch Railsback, David's son (and Edward's nephew) The Colonel relates the following reminiscences : His father, David Railsback, was assistant wagon-boy for his brother Edward, who drove a four horse baggage-wagon for the Colonial army. At Gen. Gates' defeat in South Carolina, while the American forces were giving way, he drove his team hastily into a thicket, and soon saw the British light-horse pursuing our forces, who met with great slaughter. Late at night he left the place of his concealment, and returned safely with his team to North Carolina. | Rehlsbach, Johann Eberth "Edward" (I862)

| 511 | Ft. Wayne Sentinel April 14, 1914 by B.J. Griswold "Another family of prominence of the period was that of Paul Taber, who had come from the east in 1819, accompanied by his sons, Cyrus and Samuel, and his daughter, Lucy. The elder Taber became active in the affairs of the town, but his efforts were brought to a close by his death in 1826. Cyrus Taber, the owner of Taber's addition, removed to Logansport at an early year. Samuel Taber removed to Marshall county, Indiana. Lucy Taber became the wife of Thomas L. Swinney. Paul Taber had entered a considerable tract of ground west of town, which was later purchased by Colonel Thomas W. Swinney. A tract entered by Sameul Taber was purchased by William Rockhill. Lucy Taber's ownership included the present Swinney park." | Taber, Paul Jones (I793)

| 526 | Gladys Chamberlain and her son Tom returned from England via the SS Homeric. This seems to be the return from the extended European stay that Marguerite Brenholts and Gladys Chamberlain had, with their children, following their divorces. It seems that Gladys and Tom left Italy and went to England, sailing from Southampton to New York two months after the Brenholts family had returned. Since Gladys married Mr. Gibbs shortly thereafter, and he was English, it seems that Gladys and Tom went to England to spend some time with him, prior to the marriage.
