Hannah Talbot, sons Albert and James, daughter Abbie (Talbot) Ogle, brother-in-law Alvah Talbot
Mary Maria was the first child of John Edward and Maria Artlysia Boblett Tracy. She was born August 10, 1857 in Ohio before the family moved west. She married James Fuller Talbot in 1877 in York, Nebraska. The story I heard was that she met James when the family lived in Illinois and he followed the family to York. After they married James and Mary moved to Williamsburg, Iowa. James was a farmer. They had seven children: Annabelle (1878), Charles Fuller (1879), James Edward (1882), Walter George (1887), Clarence Earl (1892), Jennifer M (1894), and Esther G (1897). Mary died February 3, 1898. We know from the letters posted previously that Mary had some sort of tumor. The oldest girl, Annabelle died August 31, 1885 at seven and a half years old. --------------------------------- Dec 6th 1897 Dear Mother and all It’s been a long time since I wrote to you. I have not been well the rest are as well as usual. Father Talbot was taken sick the 16 of Nov and died the 22nd. James got a telegram and went to Great Bend had him sent up and brought Mother and Albert up too as they could not do much there. We are looking for you here Christmas so don’t disappoint us, we have lots of snow just now, and cloudy for more, when you see Ray tell her I will write to her before long, I don’t see why Aunt Ann don’t write or send me the picture she said she had for me. I answered her letter as as I got it last spring let us know in your next letter that you will be here Christmas. Good by untill then. Mary Talbot |
