James H. Talbot, a little earlier in life! Shared on Ancestry by genealogist "FreckleSoup."
RuGenealogist "FreckleSoup" on Ancestry.com shared research information and we've added some information from local resources. James H. Talbot (1863-1960), the son of William & Harriet Mann Talbot was born in Illinois and died in San Luis Obispo, California. William & Harriet came to Table Rock; their son Elmer graduated from there in 1898 but James was older and may not have had the opportunity to attend school. James's wife Mary A. ("May") Sampson (1872 - 1962) was a Table Rock girl, born here in 1872 to original pioneers Russel & Emeline Samson. (Note that May spelled her maiden name Sampson but her parents spelled it as Samson.) May's parents are buried in Table Rock; her father was a freighter, taking loads of farm produce during the Civil War as far west as Denver, and left some interesting stories, all of which James & May's children must have heard recounted, as Russel lived until 1921 and also had moved to California. James & May had 10 children: Ada Talbot (about 1894 - ?) Myra Talbot Stephens (1896 - ?) Lila (1898 - ?) Lela Talbot Henrekin (1898 - 1988) Clyde (1903 - 1975) Harriet (about 1905 - 1986) Wayne (about 1906 or 1908 - ?) Hazel (about 1909 or 1910 - ?) Ruth (about 1912 - ?) Russell (1913 - 1914)(died at a year old of spinal meningitis, buried in Table Rock) The Talbots moved to Atascadero, California. They were in Table Rock in 1910, but in Atascadero in 1920, when James was 57. Their resting place is unknown; no memorial has been found on FindaGrave.com. |

other talbot mementos
jeanne talbot, class of 1944
From the 1943 edition of the Echo, the Table Rock school newspaper:
Take a look at her favorite comic strip
the man she chose
As a senior, she said her dream man would have "light wavy hair, about 5'7" tall, and weighs 150 to 170 pounds. About 3 years older than her...not too forward, not too bashful, not too strong of a temper, not bull-headed but not hen-pecked," etc. We asked her grandson Ryan how his grandpa had measured up and if he had a photo he could share. He responded:
Here is an early photo of Jeanne and the love of her life Donald Horner. She really hit the jackpot with this guy, and yes, I would say he was very close to her perfect man description! They were married in May, 1947. They had 5 kids together (3 girls 2 boys).
post script
Jeanne died in March 2019; her Donald had preceded her. Her grandson Justin Ryan let us know, saying, "She was such a wonderful woman." He sent us a link to her obituary in the Omaha World Herald, which contains the following -- so few words for a long full life. She is to be buried at West Lawn Cemetery in Omaha.
