Our entire community has been wrapped in gloom since the death of Alex G. Talbott, which occurred at 10:30 Friday night, April 16, 1909. He had been a very sick man for several weeks but on account of his splendid physique and the fact there he was receiving the very best of attention it was hoped that he would pull through and the sad news fell like a pall over his host of friends, so many of whom had known and associated with him all his life, and all agreeing as to his manly and generous treatment of his fellows and his spotless record as a business man and his devotion to his home and family. He was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Talbott, two of our best loved and oldest neighbors, life-long residents of Franklin County, a worthy son of honorable family - and the blow that has fallen in the aged couples' home is pitiable indeed, to say nothing of the desolation in his own happy home where a loving and true young wife and only son are prostrate with grief. He was born 3 ½ miles east of Mt. Vernon on the 12th day of March, 1875, and was 34 years, one month, and 4 days old when he died. He received a common school education, graduated in a business school and held responsible positions in the business world for a number of years, having held the position of cashier of the Merchants & Planters National Bank in this city from the time it was organized till the first of this year, when he resigned in order to enter the grocery business with Mr. G.L. Hinnant. The funeral services were conducted by Bro. W. W. Morris Saturday evening at 3:30 o'clock. Immediately after the services at the church the Odd Fellows took charge of the body and conveyed it to the City Cemetery where, with the beautiful and impressive ceremony of that noble order they consigned all that was mortal of our friend to the tomb.
