Obituary
Unidentified Newsclipping - 1886
TALBOT,--Rev. Hiram V. Talbot was born June 30, 1834, at Edmeston, Otsego Co., New York, and died of apoplexy. February 20, 1886, at Odessa, Ector Co., Texas. Brother Talbot was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal church at Edmeston when 18, under the labors of the Rev. William Burnside. Soon he was licensed to exhort, and in 1859 to preach. He joined Oneida Annual Conference April 6, 1861, and served the following charges: Schenevus, Morris, Middlefield, and Fly Creek. In Wyoming Conference he served the following charges: East Worcester, Kingston, Oxford , and Marathon. In Erie Conference he served Columbus, Ridgway, Sherrett, Belleview, and Punxsutawney Charges. After completing his labors at the last place in September 1886, he was granted superannuation on account of rapidly failing health. He immediately moved to Odessa, Texas, where in November 1886, he had a paralytic stroke, which affected his brain, rendered his whole right side powerless, and made him a confirmed invalid. He was married by his first pastor at Edmeston, June 20, 1854, to Miss Rosina Colegrove, of the same place. She was a lady of sterling piety and practical common sense. They had two sons and a daughter. The daughter died in 1863, the sons and their mother survive him. During the Civil War he assisted in raising the 152nd Regiment, New York Volunteers, and offered himself as chaplain. He was accepted, and served from October 24, 1862, until February 11, 1865, with great credit. Brother Talbot was naturally kind and helpful. His piety was of a cheerful and pleasant type. These qualities won friends and made him a power for good. His sermons were pleasing, faithful, and effective presentations of the Gospel, resulting in the edification of the church and in the conversion of sinners in all his charges. Almost every charge he served shows marks of his zeal in building and repairing churches and parsonages or in paying off church debts. He was faithful to his family, his church, and his country. His was the life of toil and self-sacrifice which marks the faithful, successful itinerant minister, and which prepares for the Master's "Well done."
