Bowen & Company, Indianapolis, IN. "From a sterling line of ancestry of the old Buckeye state comes Lemuel Dean Talcott, a well known citizen of Maynard, Fayette county, who was born in Lake county, Ohio, November 19, 1842, the son of Silas and Jane (Hammond) Talcott, the father a native of Lake county, Ohio, and the mother of Pennsylvania. Silas Talcott grew to maturity and was educated in his native community. In 1848 he went to Berrien county, Michigan, where he worked at the wagon and cabinetmaker's trade until 1855, then went to Delaware county, Iowa, and bought a farm, where the town of Greeley now stands. The land was all wild there and Mr. Talcott broke his farm with oxen, using six yoke to a huge plow, improving the place and making a comfortable home, where he lived until 1859. He was an honest, hard working man. He had left the farm and was living with his daughter in Maynard, Iowa, at the time of his death, in 1888. His widow is still living with a daughter in Maynard. Isaac Talcott took considerable interest in political affairs and he ably served as justice of the peace and postmaster. He was a Republican, and religiously he held membership with the Christian church. He and his wife were the parents of four children, named as follows: Linden, of Delphos, Kansas; Lemuel Dean, of this review; Harriett, wife of William Melven, of Maynard, Iowa; Henry, who was employed in the detective department of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad Company, was killed on the railroad in 1891. Lemuel D. Talcott was educated in the common schools in Greeley, Iowa, and remained at home with his parents, working on the farm until the breaking out of the Civil War, when he showed his patriotism by enlisting in the Union army, on September 19, 1861, in Company F, First Missouri Engineering Corps, of the West, his enlistment taking place at Dubuque, Iowa. He was sent to St. Louis and to Vicksburg by steamboat for the purpose of building bridges. On July 4th of that year he was sent to Pittsburgh Landing, later to Corinth, Mississippi, while in the Army of the West under Sherman and Grant, and he served very faithfully for three years. After the war he returned to Greeley, Iowa, where he remained for two years, then came to Fayette county, Iowa, and bought eighty acres of land in Harlan township, which he improved and managed in a very successful manner, later adding forty acres more to his holdings, the latter tract laying in the vicinity of Maynard, on which he lived until 1907, when he moved to Maynard and retired. He quit farming on his original eighty in 1895. He was very successful in his general operations as a farmer and is now enjoying the comforts of life as a result of his former years of activity. Mr. Talcott was married on September 15, 1864, to Olive Perry, of Hampshire, Massachusetts, the daughter of Alden and Hannah (Young) Perry, the mother a native of Worcester, Massachusetts, and the father of Hampshire, that state. They grew to maturity there and were educated and married in their native state, and came to Greeley, Iowa, in 1859 and in that vicinity Mr. Perry bought wild land, which he improved and in 1861 he moved to Maynard, where he lived until his death, in 1874, his wife dying in the 1894. Before coming West they maintained a hotel in Massachusetts. They were members of the Methodist Episcopal church. Their family consisted of three children: Marie married Hiram Mackey, of Fayette county; Harrison, who is now deceased, was in Company F, twenty-seventh Iowa Volunteer Infantry, in which he served for a period of three years; he married Delia Jewett and they lived in Maynard; Olivia, the youngest member of Mr. Perry's family, is the wife of Mr. Talcott, and to their union three children have been born, namely: Nora married William Brownell, living at Lemon, South Dakota, and they are the parents of eight children: Fred, Harold, Dean, Neil, Fern, Will, Richard and Patsy, the two latter are both deceased. Don H., the second child of Mr. and Mrs. Talcott, is a farmer in Harlan township; he married Josephine Meddlestedt and they are the parents of three children, Francis and Frank (twins) and Rudy, deceased. Myrtle, the youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Talcott, married Oscar Gilley, of Black Hawk county, Iowa, and they have two children, Floyd and May. Mr. Talcott has been both trustee and school director and long active in Republican politics. He is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, Reynolds Post No. 47, and he has held all the offices of the same, always taking an abiding interest in its affairs. He belongs to Masonic Blue Lodge, No. 510, at Maynard, Iowa, and he and his wife are members of the Relief Corps, Mr. Talcott having been a member of the soldier's relief committee for ten years. He is a man whom all highly respect and admire for his useful life." -- Lemuel's death record at Fayette County says he was born in Ohio and died a retired farmer at Maynard on 20 Mar 1916, of myocarditis at the age of 73 years, 4 months and one day
