I don't know if William R. TABER fits or not. He might.

Gertrude CHAPPEL's husband was Howard K. TABER (1904-1986). His parents
appear to be
(from the 1910 Census in Cato, Cayuga, NY) John (age 35) and Lucy (age
28) TABER. They
had one son Kenneth C. (1937-2003)

The CA Death Records give William R. TABER's birth date as 13 February
1866 in New York State
and his death date as 31 May 1946 in Los Angeles County, CA. His
mother's maiden name was
BEATTY. His SSN indicates he was living in California when he applied.

The 1900 Census in Auburn lists a William TABER in Auburn ward 9 (ED 19,
p3A) born Feb 1867,
with wife Elizabeth, daughter Mattie, and sons Willie, Leslie, Benjamin,
Loyd, and Ronald. He
is listed as an engineer. Elizabeth, born in NY to parents born in
England, is listed as having had
7 children, 6 of whom were living at the Census date.
