• Notes

  Talmadge was the family historian on my mother's side of the family. He got all of his information by interviewing family members. (CL-9) He was employed by Rio Grande College when he enlisted in the first World War on June 6, 1917. He was already married at the time. He probably met his wife when they were both teachers. He was described as of medium height, medium build with blue eyes and black hair when he enlisted. He also enlisted in World War II in 1942. Mom knew him later as the principal of the high school in Rio Grande. He and his wife lived with her parents in the large house in the center of Rio. They only had one son who died at birth. They both wanted children so but she could not have any more. When he died, he left $9000.00 to each of Nellie's brother and sisters. If her siblings were deceased the money was divided between that sibling's children. (Interview with Marcena Clark Coate, 5/4/1996) They lived in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio for the last several years of their lives.
