Re: Death of Phyllis Money

Thanks for the info Kathryn. I didn't know Mrs Money personally; I knew her father Strother Tabor, Sr. He was in charge of the job printing shop of the Home Office Supply Co, where I worked part time during my senior year in high school. That business was located on the first floor and basement of the Harah Apt. building (since razed with adjacent apt bldgs) on Elkhorn Street. A few of you may remember the Nigro brothers Felix and Joe who also worked there. Joe gave his life in WW-II when his plane was on a bombing run over Germany. Felix now lives in Bluefield.
I hope that you are doing well Kathryn.

Re: Death of Phyllis Money

I worked for Strother and Trigg Tabor after they moved to what is now the Museum (I think) There was a man named Easy Money who worked on the first floor in sales. I worked downstairs with the printing presses, also in my senior year. I have recently been in contact with Joe Tabor, Trigg's son.

Re: Death of Phyllis Money

Samuel, Strother and Trigg Tabor were great to work for and I have fond memories of working for them. Years ago, I had a friend, Henry Gould, who was a math prof at WVU and he once mentioned to me that he had a student in one of his classes who was the son of a Trigg Tabor of Welch. I don't know if that was Joe; you might ask him sometime. I didn't know any of Trigg's children.
