Talcott, died last night at his residence in Fruitvale at the age of 97 years. The deceased was a native of Vermont, where he resided until 1885, when he came west to California. the deceased came of a vigorous, long-lived family, and although he was 77 years of age when he arrived in California he was granted twenty additional years of life. Death was due to old age principally, although until recently he was hale and hearty. His only daughter was married to Supervisor Talcott many years ago. He also leaves a son, Alfred C. Fay. According to the wish of the deceased the remains will be forwarded to his native State for interment.
