Tackett, Elizabeth
ELIZABETH TACKETT
Only a few of the neighbors knew of the coming to town last spring of Mrs. Elizabeth Tackett, to spend her declining days at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. A. Sleeth, on east Garfield street, where she died last Wednesday evening, at the age of 86 years, 3 months and 7 days. Besides her daughter, Mrs. Tackett has two granddaughters in Clarinda, Mrs. William Hayes and Mrs. Jno. Bailey, besides one son at Tabor, la., and one daughter at Oshkosh, Nebr., with whom she was living before coming here. The cause of death was Bright's disease, due to old age.

Taggart, Annie Cameron -
Mrs. Annie J. Taggart.
Braddyville, Jan. 25—[Special Correspondence of The Journal]—Annie Jane Cameron was born in Guernsey county, O., May 22, 1843. She was the oldest of three children of James and Mattie McCaskey Cameron. The younger sister, Mrs. Mary Murphy, of Nodaway, la., died in January, 1887. The brother, John M. Cameron, resides in Iola, Kan., but was unable to be present at the funeral. Their mother died when Annie was a child of about 6 years and the three children were tenderly cared for and reared in the home of John and Jane McCaskey, brother and sister of their mother. Their home was in Belmont county, O., and the deceased received her education in the common schools and in Franklin college, New Athens, O. An interesting incident of her girlhood was a trip of the family to the west and a residence of about one year in the town of Amity, now College Springs. The long journey was made in the year 1859 by steamboat down the Ohio and up the rivers to St. Joseph, Mo., and thence overland to Amity, together with the privations of the pioneer days, which she thus witnessed and for a time shared, made a deep impression on the mind of the girl and became one of her cherished memories. While in Amity she attended the academy conducted there. Returning to Ohio she later taught for several terms in the public schools. On March 4, 1869, she was married to William C. Taggart, son of William and Sarah Hazlett Taggart. His home which then became her own was near St. Clairsville, Belmont county, O. In this Ohio home were born three of their children, Isaac H.; Mattie E., now Mrs. F. E. McKee, and Mary C. In the year 1874 the family moved to Clarinda, la., where they lived till the spring of 1879. They then moved to their farm home in Amity township, near the town of Braddyville. After their coming to Iowa two more children, Sarah W. and William C, were born. In September, 1879, the happy home circle was broken for the first time by the death of the husband and father. For three years previously he had been an invalid and the heavy burden of his care had been cheerfully carried by the devoted wife and mother. After this death she with her children continued to manage the farm and to keep burning the hearth-fires of the home. The daughter, Mary, wife of Lorrence Hart of Burlington Junction, Mo., has also gone on before, her death
occurring in June, 1913. This loss, while borne with fortitude, was a sore trial for the heart of the mother and perhaps marked the beginning of her decline in health. In February, 1914, she suffered a very severe illness from the effects of which she never fully recovered. Nevertheless as her strength permitted she continued to bravely share with William and Sadie, her younger children, who were her constant companions, the daily care of the home and farm. At her age and in her frailness she could not withstand an
attack of pneumonia, and after a brief struggle in the early hours of Thursday, Jan. 20, she peacefully passed away. Of simple tastes, a lover of home and of a modest and rather retiring disposition.
Mrs. Taggart was withal a woman of strong character and of firm but just opinions and convictions. To the end of her days she took a lively interest in the affairs of the community, of her country, and of the world at large. In her daily life she :proved herself a devoted wife, a fond mother, a kind neighbor, a helper to
the poor and a loyal friend. While she herself did not long enjoy the priceless boon of a mother's love she was brought up in a devout home and was carefully taught the principles of the Christian faith. Early in life she became a member of the United Presbyterian church.
By the example of her life and her own unfaltering faith as weil as by precept she pointed out to her own family and friends the path of duty and of righteousness.
The welfare of the church of her choice was ever dear to her heart and as long as she was able she was a regular attendant on Sabbath services at College Springs. Now she has heard and answered the call to come Home, the call of the Master whom she loved and served. Her soul has left this tenement of clay to dwell in one of the stately mansions of the Father's house. CLARINDA HERALD and CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Jan 27, 1916

Tallant, Maude Stone - Her Suffering Ended.
On Friday, May 5th, at her home on West Main street, Mrs. Maude Stone Tallant, wife of Frank J. Tallant, passed to her eternal home, after a long and serious illness, which had been coming; upon her for more than a year. Two attacks of the grippe; in quick succession, last spring, undermined her constitution, then six months ago she gave birth to a sweet little baby girl which event also helped to pull down her health. After the birth of her baby her whole being was so wrapped in the care of the little one that she was careless of the proper care of her own health and in February she was compelled to give up and take to her bed. She was born in Polk county, Nebraska, near Osceola, February 9,1872, and at her death was thirty-three years of age. In 1877 her parents went to Wahoo, Neb., where her childhood days were spent. In 1888 her parents moved to Hastings, Neb., where her father was superintendent of the Hastings hospital for the insane for three years. In 1891 the family again returned to Wahoo, where her father resumed the practice of medicine. On June 12th, 1894, while the family resided in Wahoo, she was united in marriage to Mr. Frank J. Tallant and two children were born to them, only one of whom is living, the sweet little Ruth, now six months old. Her father was one of the leading medical practitioners in Nebraska; he also served many years in the government service, both during the civil war and later on the frontier. During her late sickness her father and mother have made their home with her and have given themselves up to her care, but despite loving care and attention, she was precipitated into an attack of bronchial pneumonia with septic fever due to kidney complications which was the cause of her death. She leaves behind to mourn, her husband and baby, one sister, three brothers and her father and mother. Her death is the first in her parents family.
The funeral services were held at the residence on west Main street yesterday afternoon, conducted by Rev. J. N. Maclean who was assisted by Rev. Fletcher Homan and the sermon was from the text, "In My Father's House are Many Mansions." The honorary pall bearers were six members of the Birthday Club, of which Mrs. Tallant was a member.

Taylor, Hugh

OLD RESIDENT PASSES AWAY.
The death of Hugh Taylor Saturday, at the county home, takes away one of our early land marks. For thirty-five years, the older residents believe, Hugh Taylor has been a familiar sight in these parts. The funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon, at the Pruitt Undertaking Parlors, conducted by Rev. Abram S. Weodard, after which the remains were laid away in Clarinda cemetery, in a lot purchased with funds which Mr. Taylor had left for the purpose.
Most people will remember Hugh Taylor as the man who cut and cared for lawns about town. He had his wheel-barrow and lawn tending tools, but no relatives, living all this time a cheerful life of self content and apparent happiness. Having no one to care for him after his lawn cutting days were over, his home has been with Mr. and Mrs. Finley at the county home, until called hence by the grim reaper. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jun 7, 1917

HUGH TAYLOR
Hugh Taylor, one of the best known figures in this city, perhaps, from the fact that he had made Clarinda his home for many years and during that time had worked as a day laborer for many of her citizens, passed away at the Page County Farm, west of this city, Saturday evening, after an illness of several months from Brights' disease.
Mr. Taylor was born in Scotland, but the date of his birth is unknown. He has no relatives on this side of the Atlantic and he was never married before going to the County Farm last August, he had boarded at the Hawthorne hotel, and previous to boarding there, had stayed at other hotels in the city.
The body was brought to the Pruitt Undertaking Parlors shortly after death and funeral services were conducted from there, Friday afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Jun 7, 1917

 

WAS HEIR TO SCOTLAND ESTATE

But  Knowledge  Came  too  Late to Help Man Who Died at Poor Farm
For many years, Hugh Taylor was, until his death last June, a well known figure among Clarinda people, mowing their lawns, and performing all sorts of odd jobs. He was supposed to have been wealthy, and to have a wife in Scotland. It was rumored that he had quarreled with his relatives in Scotland, and had been sent to America. How near the truth these suppositions were was never known until Cary Finley, steward of the county farm, received a draft of $359 from Alex Taylor, to reimburse the county for the care of Hugh Taylor during the last year of his life. Alex Taylor states that he is a nephew of Hugh Taylor, and that if relatives in Scotland had known he was in need of money or help, funds would have been sent to him, as he should have received a portion of his father's estate. Mr. Taylor expresses deep regret that his uncle should have died while in the county home. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Nov 8, 1917

Teeman, Sarah E. Robertson - MRS. CHRISTIAN TEEMAN
Sarah E. Robertson was born near Birmingham, Iowa, June 3, 1844 and died at her home on West 5th St., Villisca, Iowa, Friday morning, Feb. 9, 1917. She was married to Christian Teeman Sept. 19, 1867, near Charlestown, Indiana, at the home of her uncle, Col. Thomas Carr, and immediately came to Mt. Pleasant, la. After a short visit there with relatives and friends Mr. and Mrs. Teeman came overland to Page county and settled on land entered by her father in an early day. The nearest railroad at this time was St. Joseph, Mo. and from this point the lumber was hauled for the first little home. They resided at this place until the spring of 1894 when they moved to the farm now known as the W. G. Davie place one mile east of Villisca where they resided until the spring of 1906 when they moved to Villisca where they have since made their home.
To this union were born three children, Clarence R., dying at the age of four years, and two daughters, Mrs. J. C. Whitehill, living within a block of the parental home, and Miss Lena at home. Besides these, she is survived by her husband and two sisters, Mrs. Adolph Frank of Jeffersonville, Ind. and Mrs. William Wvcoff of Conway Springs, Kansas, and one brother, Mr. J. S. Robertson of LaGrange, Ill.
She came of old Methodist stock, her grandfather having built the first Methodist church in Indiana and her father one of the first in Eastern Iowa. Faithful to the family tradition, she, with her husband, were charter members of the Orme school-house Class organized in 1868. This class later became what is now known as the North Grove Church. Later she brought her letter to the Villisca Methodist church where she continued a faithful member until the time of her death.
Her hospitality was unbounded and her home a stopping place for many a tired and discouraged preacher of the early day, as well as the minister of a later day.
She was also a member of the John A. Logan Circle of this place. Mrs. Teeman was of an unassuming and unselfish nature, always thinking of someone else rather than of herself. She was loved best by those who knew her best as attested by the masses of flowers received and by the large number of friends attending the funeral services.
She will be missed not only by her family but by a large circle of neighbors and friends throughout Villisca and vicinity.
The funeral occurred at her home on West 5th St. Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by her pastor, Rev. E. S. Menoir. assisted by Rev W.J. Ewing, the John A. Logan Circle closing with their beautiful burial services.

He was brought to Villisca for interment by the same Uncle that brought him from Oregon 19 years ago.
Over the river they beckon to me,
Loved ones who've crossed to the farther side.
The gleam of their snowy robes I see.
But their voices are drowned in the rushing tide.
He crossed in the twilight so gray and cold, And the pale mist hid him from mortal view. We saw not the angel that welcomed him there,
The gates of the city we could not see.
Over the river, over the river, My brother stands waiting to welcome me. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Nov 26, 1903
