At 8:30 o'clock Tuesday morning, March 18th, Mr. Francis B. Tallman passed away at his home in Jewell, death resulting from a complication of diseases of which he has suffered for many years. Funeral services were held this afternoon at one o'clock from the M. E. church, conducted by Rev. . H. Gifford, and the boy was laid at rest in Evergreen cemetery.

The family moved to Marshall county, Iowa, 1855, homesteading there, and was one of the pioneer families of that county. In 1870 they moved to Nebraska, and two years later moved back to Iowa, locating in Boone where the mother of the deceased still resides. Mr. Tallman resided in Nevada, Jewell, in Dakota, and again in Jewell, having lived here continuously for the past 22 years.

He was married Jan. 31st, 1877, to Miss Annetta McKim of Nevada, and to this union four sons and one daughter were born, Lowell C. of Marshalltown, George A., of Eagle Grove, Charles C., of Ames, Mrs. H. P. Moon, Mrs. J. H. Graham, and Mrs. James B. Ingersoll, all of Boone, and Mrs. A. L. Cleaver, of Omaha.
