Town of Tabor City Centennial
Carillon Clock Memorial
February 5, 2005
Given in honor and memory of Brighty Alton Garrell and Doris Woodard Garrell by their sons Jimmy Woodard Garrell and Joe Cephus Garrell
As Tabor City's 100th birthday is recognized, it is fitting that we honor "The First Family Of The 20th Century", the B. Alton and Doris W. Garrell family. These mid-century honorees led this Tobacco Road community with a sweet potato, strawberry, farm produce and bright leaf tobacco auction market when the economy cried out for quality leadership. Mr. and Mrs. Garrell, along with their two sons, kept Tabor City progressive and growing.
