Miss Nannie Tabor, daughter of Mrs. R.P. Harrison of this vicinity, died at
the residence of her grandmother, Mrs. Dodson, in Prairie Grove March
20, 1890. She was born in Water Valley, Miss. March 20, 1874 and had,
therefore, nearly completed her sixteenth year. She was just budding into
fair and lovely womanhood when the destroyer came and like a beautiful
flower, she faded, drooped and died. No death of recent date has cast such
a general gloom over this community. She professed religion when but eleven
years old at Hope, Ark. under the ministry of Rev. Harry May and united
with the Methodist Church South in which communion she led a quiet and
blameless life until the day of her removal to the home of the pure and the
good. [Fayetteville Democrat 4/11/1890
