Residing in the city of Lyons since 1852, when the city was then one of the prospering towns on the banks of the Mississippi, Mr. TALLETT had won the respect and esteem of all who had been connected with him as a business man and manufacturer, and the sympathy of a large circle of friends is extended to his wife and eight remaining children.

Born in England in 1820 he spent most of his younger days in that country where he married Miss Isabell King ELLIS after which he came to this country and settled in Lyons where he started a brick factory of which he retired as superintedant twenty years ago.

He was a charter member of the first I. O. O. F. lodge formed in the city and took much interest in the order.
