Tabor, Horace

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.

Tabor, Horace (Austin Warner) (1830–1899)

US prospector and merchant. He went to Colorado in 1878 and made a fortune from a silver mine, building a hotel and two opera houses in that city. He lost his fortune and was penniless by 1893; he was made postmaster of Denver to spare him the humiliation of total destitution.

Tabor was born in Holland, Vermont. He filled an unexpired term as a Republican in the US Senate in 1883. His second wife was ‘Baby Doe’, who, in 1935, ended her life freezing to death in the shack at the mouth of the mine that she was convinced would still yield more silver.
