Mrs. Talty's health had been poor for several years, but her last
sickness was for about 6 weeks, when death came as a sweet relief. She
was a devoted Catholic and died in the hope of a blessed immortality.
She leaves behind to mourn the loss of a true and loving wife and
mother, a husband and four sons, the youngest 16 years old, and one
daughter; Mrs. Hickey. Though dead, she lives in the hearts of her
mourning children and husband, and many friends. The funeral occurred
from the Catholic church, Rev. Father Daly conducting the funeral
services, and her remains were laid to rest in the Atlantic Cemetery
followed by a large concourse of friends and relatives.
