Lowell Journal, 17 Aug 1916

Joseph B. Tallant was born July 28, 1843, and died July 28, 1916, at the age of
73 years and 28 days.  He was born in Boston township near Waterville, where he
lived until 8 years of age when he moved with parents to the farm where he lived
until his death.  

When twenty years of age he enlisted in Company I, Tenth Michigan Cavalry and
fought for his country until the close of the war.  He was married Oct. 2, 1883,
to Mary Jackson who departed this life after five years of married life.  To
this union was born one son Guy.  On October 18, 1896, he was married to Mrs.
Cora Bovee, who has always been a kind and loving wife and during the last two
years of his suffering has been a constant companion.  

Joe, as he was always known, was a willing and helping neighbor, a kind and
loving husband and father and during his illness as a very patient sufferer,
never complaining even when his pains seemed beyond endurance.  Besides a host
of friends and relatives he leaves to mourn his loss, his wife, one son and two
sisters, one of California and one of Colorado.  

The funeral was held from the Methodist church in South Boston, and was
conducted by Rev. F. E. Chamberlain.  Interment was in South Boston cemetery.
