Oakey, C.C., Greater Terre Haute and Vigo County, 1908:
MONT ELMER TABER was born on the old Taber homestead in Lost Creek township, Vigo county, Indiana, February 27, 1879, a son of George W. and Anna (Eccles) Taber, who have long been numbered among the prominent residents of this county, and they yet reside on their valuable old homestead of one hundred and fifty-five acres in Lost Creek township. The father was born on the 15th of April, 1837, in Urbana, Ohio, and the mother's natal day was 15th of August, 1847, born near York England, but she came with her parents to the United States in the early fifties, the family coming direct to Indiana and locating in Terre Haute, where her parents spent the remainder of their lives. In the family of Mr. and Mrs. Taber were five children: William H., a lawyer of Terre Haute; George M., the principal of the eighteenth district scoool of that city; Frank, a well-known physician and surgeon of Terre Haute; Herbert E., who resides with his parents on the homestead farm, and Mont Elmer, the subject of this review. Mr. Taber, the father, supports the principles of the Democratic party.
After attending the township schools of Lost Creek, Mont Elmer Taber pursued his studies for two years in the State Normal at Terre Haute, also teaching for three years during that time, and then entered the Illinois College of Pharmacy and graduated with its class of September, 1901, with the degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist. During the year following his graduation Mr. Taber was employed in the New Central pharmacy in Terre Haute, and then entered the employ of the E. H. Bindly & Company in Terre Haute, he served as their chemist for four years. He then became a traveling salesman for that firm, but after about one year on the road he became ill with typhoid fever and was obliged to resign his position. On the 21st of August, following, he purchased of Benjamin German the only drug store of Seelyville, and is the only prescription druggist between Terre Haute and Brazil. In addition to his large line of drugs he also carries a full line of candles, oils and paints and has a soda fountain.
On the 15th of September, 1903, Mr. Taber married Nellie L. Wright, born near Palestine, Illinois, February 22, 1884, to Willis and Mary (Wilheit) Wright, residents of Indianapolis. Mrs. Taber was educated in the schools of Illinois, and was a student for several years in Shorter College, of Rome Georgia, pursuing a course in vocal music. She is a member of the Bapist church of that city, and Mr. Taber has membership relations with the Presbyterian denomination. He is a member of the Terre Haute Lodge, No. 51, Independent Order of the Odd Fellows, of which he is a past grand; of the Modern Woodmen of America, Terre Haute Lodge, No. 3376, and of the Travelers' Protective Association of that city. A son, Mont Elmer Taber, Jr., was born to Mr. and Mrs. Taber, April 17, 1907.
