John Bannister Tabb (1845-1909) Born: 1845, “The Forest,” near Richmond, Virginia.

Died: 1909, Ellicott City, Maryland.

Son of a wealthy Virginia family, Tabb gave up most studies at age 14 due to bad eyesight, and took up the piano. He served in the American civil war, but became a prisoner in 1864. While imprisoned, he met and became friends with poet Sidney Lanier. After the war, Tabb honed his musical skills and taught at St. Paul’s School in Baltimore, Maryland. He later entered St. Charles College to study theolo­7gy. He was ordained a Catholic priest on Christmas 1884. However, for the rest of his life he continued to teach English grammar at St. Charles, as well as writing poetry and prose.
