General Notes: Husband - David Tallant

---

He was born four miles west of Bakerstown, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where he was educated in the public schools. At the age of eighteen he took charge of a school and for ten years thereafter continued to teach. At the end of that time he abandoned the profession in order to become a farmer, and after the death of his father purchased a farm of one hundred and forty-two acres, known as the "Mount Hope farm," part of an estate owned by the late Judge Burrel. The entire number of acres was eight or nine hundred, which were sold off in farms of about one hundred and fifty acres each. On that part of the estate bought by Mr. Tallant was a small log house which was the birthplace of Judge Burrel, and in 1877 Mr. Tallant replaced this with a modern structure. In 1889 he erected a commodious barn.
Mr. Tallant was one of those who at the period of the civil war responded to their country's call. In September, 1862, he enlisted in Company I, Fifteenth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry, known as the "Old Anderson Troop," and was honorably discharged January 1, 1865.
He belonged to Corporal Murray Post, No. 243, G. A. R., of Sardis, Pennsylvania, and in politics was a Republican. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church of Murrysville, which from the age of twenty-two he served as member of session. Three times he was a delegate from his church to the United Presbyterian general assembly; once at Springfield, once at Cambridge, both in Ohio, and on May 25, 1905, at Washington, Iowa.
