July 1931The death of Mrs. Philura Burdick Talbot occurred at the home of her son, Ellis Talbot, Thursday morning, July 30, at six o'clock. Mrs. Talbot had kept house for her son since last October and was remarkable for her ability to perform her household tasks and for her keen mind and good health. Sunday night she was taken with an attack of indigestion and this together with a weak heart and her advanced age caused her death after only four days of illness.
Mrs. Talbot had lived a long and useful life and was deeply beloved by her family relatives and friends. She was born in Edmeston October 24, 1837 and was the daughter of Augustus and Lucretia Mayne Burdick.
She was married to Newel Talbot and five children were born to them, four of whom survive: Mrs. Clarissa Welch of Leonardsville, Mrs. Lewis Welch, who resides two miles north of this village; Daniel Talbot of North Edmeston, who lives on the old homestead and Ellis Talbot of this village; nine grand-children and seven great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild; one brother, Alvin Burdick of Burlington Flats and a host of relatives and friends who have the memory of a long, useful and well spent life to comfort them in their loss. Her husband's death occurred 37 years ago.
The funeral was held Sunday at the old homestead in North Edmeston and was largely attended. It was conducted by Rev. W. H. Swope of the Methodist church of Edmeston of which she was a member, and she was laid to rest in the family plot in the Taylor Hill Cemetery.

October 1, 1915Richmond Talbot died suddenly Friday evening of last week at Edmeston. He had complained of not feeling well, but his condition was not serious until Friday evening. He was seventy-six years old and was a respected citizen.
He leaves his wife and one daughter, Mrs. V. D. Robinson. He was a carpenter by trade and had worked on many buildings in that vicinity.
The 1850 and 1860 census lists a Abby C. Talbot, female.
Other researchers have listed this as Arby Covell Talbot, Male.
Having found Arba Talbot in the 1880 census with mother Belinda, this researcher considers the 1850 and 1860 census data to be in error.

May 18, 1921The tragic death of Mrs. Amanda Talbot of Edmeston has cast a gloom of sorrow over this entire community where she was born and spent her earlier life, being the eldest child of Deacon Edwin and Caroline Benjamin Talbot, who resided one mile west of this village, and there attended the district school and later the select school in this village. She was a woman of sterling worth and her genial personality won her many friends, who grieve over the sad ending of this life.
When young in years, she made a full surrender to Christ, who, we believe, welcomed her to that bright and happy land where sorrow and calamaties are unknown.
At the age of 18 years she was united in marriage to Arba C. Talbot, and they imediateley began housekeeking at North Edmeston, where her home was at the time of her death.
Five children survive her; Leon Talbot of North Edmeston; Wayne of Burlington Flats; Robert, of New Berlin; Mrs. Chas, Huggins of Leonardsville; and Mrs. B. S. Gilson of Edmeston; three grandchildren: Frank Gilson, Gladys Talbot, and Arlene Hopkins, besides a host of relatives and friends, who mourn her sad death.
The deceased was 74 years of age. Relatives and friends attended her funeral from Gloversville, Johnston, West Winfield, Leonardsville, New Berlin, Sidney, Burlington Flats, West Edmeston, other places.
Judge Talbot's death is mourned by many friends in this his boyhood town and that her death should occur the very hour of his funeral is a true reminder that in the "Midst of Life We are in Death" - Edmeston Local
