Talcott, Wallace

"Overcome by grief over the death of her 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 she can rally from the attack.

Talcott, Jonathan

Jonathan H. Talcott removed to Wisconsin in 1838 with his family and settled on a farm near Kenosha where he lived and died.  He and his family are listed on the 1840 U.S. Federal Census for the Wisconsin Territory.  Wisconsin became a state in 1848.  The County listed is Racine because Racine County and Kenosha County (Pike/Somers) did not split boundaries until 1850.  The 1861 Plat Map of Somers Township, Kenosha County shows Lydia owning the same parcel Wallace owns on the 1887 map above.  Jonathan H. Talcott was one of the earliest pioneers of Somers Township.
