Tuesday

Mary Reese Talkington was born at Salesville, Ohio March 4, 1848. Part of
her life
was spent in West Virginia and in October 1878 she came to Kansas. On
November
30, 1879 she married Isaac Talkington. No children were born to them. About
15
years ago she suffered a paralytic stroke which left her an invalid. A second
attack
caused death. She was a practical Christian and a member of the Methodist
Church
and this gave her the courage to face death without fear.
While an invalid, yet
she
was ever patient and looked always for the bright side of life and scattered
sunshine
over those so fortunate as to come in contact with her. These qualities
naturally
caused a great love for the sacred, the beautiful flowers and the innocent
children.
The Courant and Reveille, Cottonwood Falls, Kansas, 5 Feb
