Mr. Talbot enlisted in the One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and served five months. His union gave him two children -Ida B. and Emma C. He engaged at the printing business in 1863; and had continued the same until he joined the editorial staff of the Constitution, to which he now gives his entire personal attention.
