Price Tabor is Found Dead - World War Veteran Dies in His Room at Eagles Home

Price Tabor, 42, veteran of the World war, was found dead at 11 o'clock this morning in bed in his room at the Eagles home on South Washington street. Coroner C M Jackson was called but had given no verdict this afternoon.

Obituary from the Columbus, IN, Republic, July 9, 1936.

Another article published the next day in the Columbus Republic quoted the corner as saying that death resulted from alcoholism.

Information on Pvt Tabor's military service came from the application for his veteran's headstone. His exact position in the division is not known, but the 47th was definitely at the battles of Aisne-Marne; Saint Mihiel; the Meuse-Argonne offensive; as well as in Champagne and Lorraine in 1918.
