DANIEL TALBOTT. It is not often that the biographer finds it necessary to separate a man from his wife in writing a family sketch ; but, since the separation is only incidental and the interests of each best subserved by this course, we trust that we may be pardoned for the breach of etiquette. Daniel Talbott was born April 19, 1837, in Warren county, Indiana, the parental home being in the township of Warren. He is a son of Joseph and Maria (Sever) Talbott, both natives of Ohio. The father accompanied his parents to Warren county, this state, and died there in 1842, at the age of forty years. He was a blacksmith by trade, though a farmer after coming to Indiana. The mother of our subject died in 1839, on the home farm in Warren county  ; she was the father's second wife. Her family came from New Jersey to Ohio in which state her parents were married.

Our subject is the elder of two sons born by his father's first marriage, the brother being Isaac, who was born in 1839, and is now a retired business man in Wamego, Kansas. One son was born to the father's first marriage  ; the maiden name of his first wife was Troth. This brother, whose name is Georgie, is an engineer in a sawmill at Marengo, Iowa. The father's third wife was Mrs. Mary Ann Stance, and they had two daughters  : Avis, the wife of James Ridenour, of Warren county  ; and Eliza, widow of John Clark, in the same county. Our subject attended a subscription school until eleven years of age, when he entered the public schools of Warren county, where he pursued his studies until eighteen years old. By reason of the death of his parents, he lived with his aunt after his sixth year, but went to work by the month at the age of ten. At the age of twenty-one he was married and started on his career as a farmer, on a rented farm. His first real estate was a forty-acre farm in Warren county  ; but this he afterward exchanged in part payment for an eighty-acre tract, and in due time added to this until he had a fine farm of one hundred and fifty-one acres, upon which he lived for twenty- nine years, and he still owns the same.

He was married December 29, 1858, in Warren county, to Miss Prudence Moor, a daughter of John and Prudence (Doty) Moor, natives of Ohio. She was born February 14, 1836, and died December 5, 1878. Seven children were born to bless this union: Rosilla, born November 8, 1859, died November 22, following; Oliver, who was born December i, i860, is a farmer in Warren county; Willard, born November 2, 1863, resides in Whitman county, Washington, where he is a silversmith; Lillis was born October 25, 1865, and married William Cottingham, a painter in Williamsport, Indiana; Avis was born October 18, 1867, and died July 25, 1868; Eva was born August 16,. 1869, and is a teacher in the public schools of Warren county; Sylvia, born October 3, 1871, became the wife of William Slager, a farmer in Pickaway county, Ohio.

After the death of his wife, Mr. Talbott kept his family together, per forming as nearly as possible the obligations of both father and mother. When his children were able to provide for themselves and all were married except the fourth daughter, he felt that he had discharged a sacred duty. In 1892 he removed to Oxford, and November 27 of that year he was united in marriage with Mrs. Rachel (Waymire) Atkinson, whose sketch appears in this work. These elderly people are comfortably situated and liberally provided with means to carry them through to the sunset of life. Their remaining years promise a season of happy repose from the harrowing cares of life.

Mr. Talbott, like his estimable wife, is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and he has been an Odd Fellow for eighteen years, having now passed the official chairs and is the present vice grand of his lodge. His political affiliations have always been with the Democratic party, though he has never been aggressive in political affairs; he has never sought political office, being more interested in his own personal affairs and the various official positions coming to him through his interest in church and school affairs.

Mr. Talbott is an upright, honorable citizen, sustaining a just and well earned reputation for strict integrity and uprightness of character.
