[Obituary] 6 Feb 1969
Mrs. Flora Tallman, 92, widow of Jay Tallman, died in Kelso, Washington Jan. 10, 1969. She was the daughter of George L. and Emma Davall, born on her father’s farm a short distance south of Lakewood, PA Nov 27, 1876. She attended the public school of Preston and graduated from Hancock Union School in 1894. She married Jay Tallman, the oldest son of Delos and Lydia Tallman of Hancock, soon after his graduation from the School of Embalming in Tuscaloosa, AL. When her parents sold the general store at Lakewood, she and her husband bought it and successfully ran the store for some years. They disposed of this property later and he was employed in a wholesale groceries store in Scranton. He died there after a short illness of pleurisy. Mrs. Tallman was left with two small children under 10 years of age. She accepted the invitation of her parent to go to the state of Washington where her father was busy clearing ground for a fruit farm. She became a teacher in the Washington schools and took several courses in education in the Universities of that state.
Her son Earl died while a young man and her father died of heart failure while fighting a fire on his place. Coming east to bury her son with his father in the Shehawken Cemetery, she remained with her sister-in-law in Morrisville, and taught for a year in Hamilton Township, suburb of Trenton, NJ. After returning to Washington she again took up teaching, and continued until retirement. She was very active in church work and was usually engaged in teaching a Sunday School class wherever she lived. Again tragedy struck in the accidental death of her grandson, Joe Herbes, the “apple of her eye.” She contracted pneumonia from which she did not recover. She was buried in the family plot in Bayview Cemetery, Bellingham, Washington but listed in the family plot in the Shehawken cemetery. She is survived by her daughter, Mrs. Bertha Herbes, nieces and nephews. Two of her sisters, Bertha and Augusta, also went to California with the Davalls.
