Legacy of Elizabeth Taber - The Elizabeth Taber Library and the Natural History Museum, circa 1945. In 1872, Mrs. Taber sent the Marion Library Association a letter that contained the deed to the library and an insurance policy on the property for $4,000. Her letter, in part, read:"... which I ask you to accept as a testimonial of my esteem and kind regards for the above named institution and for the inhabitants of Marion generally ..." Upon Mrs. Taber's death in 1888, the library received a bequest of$15,000 and any furniture from her home it desired; the Natural History Society received $6,000. The black rings on the trunks of the large elms were an unsuccessful treatment to protect them from Dutch elm disease. 2nd digital photograph - another view of the Elizabeth Taber Library and Natural History Museum. |
