Funeral services were held Monday at the South Boston Congregational church, Rev. Brannd of Alto officiating, and burial took place in the South Boston cemetery. Deceased was the son of James and Euphrasia Tallant, who emigrated from Vermont in 1836 and took up a government claim in Boston township which has ever since been the family homestead. He was born there Jan. 18, 1845, and spent all his life at the old home. After his father’s death, Feb. 15, 1881, he lived with his mother and cared for her until she, too, passed away, on Feb. 28, 1894. Since that time he has remained alone on the farm. He was of a quiet, kindly disposition, and was well known throughout Ionia county. He leaves two sisters, Mrs. Clarissa A. Walker and Mrs. Nyhra Perry, both of Lowell.
