       taught the district school near her home and also was a
       valued teacher in the public schools of Galion for a num-
       ber of years. Later she taught very successfully in Card-
       ington. Her father, A. TALBOTT, died in 1874 and a year
       later she and her mother came to Crestline to live. Her
       mother died in 1887 and since that time SARAH made her
       home with her two brothers here. Surviving her are her
       two brothers, J. J. and ALLEN TALBOTT of this city, and

       are deceased.
       
         The deceased lady was a member of the Friends church
       of Mt. Gilead but since coming to this city, as there
       was no church of her faith here, she attended the Metho-
       dist church regularly and was a devout Christian and
       excellent woman. For many years, while she retained good
       health, she was active in church and Sunday School work
       and her good deeds in many directions were numerous.
       She was of a quiet disposition but quickly made friends
       with those with whom she became acquainted.
