Tabor Church was organized in the 1870s, probably meeting in the Millwood Schoolhouse. In 1890 the building formerly used by the Methodists was purchased, and the congregation began a steady growth, which resulted in a new bethel being constructed in 1898. In May 1964 ground was broken on the new 5-acre site. The Rev. Walter C. Burcham, pastor, came to Mt. Tabor in 1958. 75 Years Ago A Warsaw police car, back from the repair shop only a day, was damaged again when it skidded into a gasoline station pump as police were making their rounds. Last Sunday about $125 damage was done to the car when an accident occurred during the chase of a speeder. In recent weeks the police department received several calls in which prowlers were reported, so last night they looked out the window of the city hall, and seeing the ground covered with snow, sat down to anxiously await a prowler call. Their hopes were answered when a call was received at 10:15 p.m. to come to the vicinity of South Scott Street and again at midnight to search an area on South Indiana Street. In both cases, there were no tracks found in the fresh snow.
