I. S. Talbott, who has been spending the winter here with his son, Merrill
and family, passed away Monday morning, March 26, 1917, after a brief
illness of pneumonia, aged 84 years. Mr. Talbott was in usual health last
week and was down town Saturday. He was taken ill Sunday, and although
everything possible was done for him, the burden of advanced years would not
permit him to rally.

Before taking a claim a few years ago near Eagle Butte, S.D., Mr. Talbott
resided near Adaville and in Akron for a period covering many years; and he
was well known and highly respected in the part of the county. In his sudden
taking away, his family has the sympathy of this community. A suitable
obituary of this good man will appear in this paper next week.

Funeral services will be conducted by Rev. W. w. Tyrrell in the Akron M.E.
church tomorrow (Friday) afternoon at 2:30 o’clock.

Mr. Talbott’s daughter, Mrs. George Benefiel, and his son, Reuben Talbott,
arrived today from Eagle Butte, S.D., to attend the funeral.

OBITUARY.
Isaac S. Talbott was born in Westmorland county, Penn., March 14th, 1833,
and died in Akron, Iowa, March 27th, 1917, at the age of 84 years and 13
days. He moved to Jo Daviess county, Ill., in 1854, and on January 16, 1864,
was married to Susan E. Summy, who departed this life in November, 1910, at
their home in Akron. The family moved to Plymouth County, Iowa, in 1882,
and came to Akron in 1900. Four children were born to this union—Merrill M.
Talbott, of Akron, Iowa; Mrs. George Benefiel and Reuben E. Talbott, of
Eagle Butte, S.D.; and Mrs. Will Kenaston, who passed away in June, 1903.
Mr. Talbott joined the M. E. church when thirty-three years of age and
always lived a consistent Christian life. He was ever a kind husband and
father, a helpful neighbor, a true friend and an upright citizen. He was
granted a long life’s journey and the world was better for his having lived
in it. His memory and good works will stand as a priceless heritage to the
surviving children.
