Text The funeral of Charles L. Talbert was held in this city Sunday afternoon from the Christian church and interment made in Oak Hill cemetery. The services at the church were conducted by Eld. J. S. McQueen. The M. W. A. and the W. O. W. fraternal orders gave their funeral ceremonies at the grave.

Charles L. Talbert died at Nevada Thursday, April 4. His body was brought in Cassville, Saturday morning and taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Johnson. He had been at Nevada for treatment for about two years.

Charles was a son of the late Alpheus Talbert who came to this county about forty years ago from Indiana and located northeast of Cassville on Flat Creek and engaged in farming and milling. There, Charles grew to manhood and had lived nearly all the remainder of his life in the vicinity of Cassville.

He was a mechanic by trade and followed that business in Cassville for a number of years. A short time before he lost his health he built the West Side garage which he continued to own at the time of his death.

He was twice married. His first wife was Miss Allie Gaskins who died several years ago. By this marriage there are two living children, Miss Charlie and Jackie, both of whom attended the funeral. His second marriage was to Miss Maud Sherrick of Aurora who with one child also survive him.

Charles Talbert had always borne the reputation of being an honest, industrious man. He was of a pleasant disposition and always so congenial that he made friends of everybody.
