Richard and Mary farmed in Jefferson, Taylor, and LaRue counties of Kentucky for several years. Sometime during 1897, Richard decided to move his family from Taylor County, Kentucky, where he was residing on the Thomas Nelson (father-in-law) farm to Missouri where his father, Jackson, and his older brother William were living. According to my grandmother Lydia Tabb, they came on the train and settled in Aullvile, Missouri, a small settlement south of Higginsville, Missouri.

Richard and his family moved into a tenant house on the Hanley farm south of Aullvile, Missouri, and worked for Mr. Hanley. The children were enrolled in the local school and the family settled into their new environment. Later, Richard took a job in Higginsville, Missouri, working for Brandoff Coal Mine, which belonged to the Bonanza Coal Company. He was killed a short time later in a mining accident, when he was crushed by falling slate on Sunday, November 17, 1898, less than 18 months after his move from Kentucky. Richard was 45 years of age at the time of his death.

Mary Nelson Tabb did not return to Kentucky, but stayed in Higginsville, Missouri, and worked to provide for her seven children. Life was extremely hard for the family, Mary took in laundry and did sewing along with other jobs she could find. The children all helped as much as possible and when old enough, worked out to help support the family.

Eventually, Mary remarried to an older man named Nathan White. Most of her children had married or left home by this time.
