Husband Dead
Wife Very iii
Mrs. Mary E. TalcOtt, Wife of Wallace
Fl. Talcott, Who Died Saturday,
Is Very Ill.

Overcome by grief over the death of
ner husband, Wallace H. Talcott, a
Somers pioneer, who died on Saturday,
Mrs. Mary E. Talcott was stricken with
paralysis on Sunday morning and is
not expected to live. Because of her
advancing years and the strain which
she has been under due to the last
illness of her husband, physicians do
not believe that she can rally from
the attack.
Original plans had been to have the
funeral services of Mr.. Talcott on
Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the
home on Wescott street. Because of
the illness of his wife, the services
will probably be held at the Hansen
chapel instead, with interment follow
ing in the family plot in the lakewood
cemetery at Somers.

was fast, however, and the second at
