  • Notes 
    • STEPHEN BARTON TALBOT
      (Uncle “Steve”)

      Stephen Barton Talbot was born 15 Nov 1855, at Thorn River, Queensto w n D i strict, South Africa (probably at “Wellington”, the estate grant e d to His father in 1853 by the government for services against the Kaff ir s i n th e war of the Cattle Killing Delusion), son of Henry and Rut h Swe etna m Tal bot.

      As a Child, Steve, remembers how he and his brothers and sisters wo u l d g o to visit “Grandma Barton”. That is what they called Ruth’s Moth er . Sh e lived at Post Retief, and he says that it seems like she liv e d u p o n a hill, with a steep winding dugway leading up to her house . On e t im e a terrible run away occurred on that dug way and Steve lon g afte rwar d r emembered it vividly.

      After his father sold “Wellington”, in 1859, the family lived severa l m o n ths at Port Elizabeth, on Algoa Bay, awaiting transportation to A meri c a. They finally sailed 28 Feb 1861, on the sail ship “Race Horse” , arr i ve d at East Boston 20 Apr 1861, Preceded on to the Missouri Rive r, v i a cat tle train, crossed the plains from Florence, Nebraska, by co vere d w agon i n the Homer Duncan Company, and arrived 28 Sep 1861, at S alt L ak e City, U tah.

      The family lived over the winter in Salt Lake City, and the followin g s p r ing moved north and established residence at Kaysville, Utah, o n a 4 0 a cr e farm purchased from Lou Whitesides.

      Steve Completed the fourth grade, all that was then given, at the li t t l e one room red brick school at “Five Points”, between Kaysville an d L ay to n. He was baptized 17 Jul 1864.

      Being the same age and size as Gobo Fango, the Negro boy brought to Am e r i ca by Henry Talbot, Steve was continually paired with him to wrestl e , s o he became a very athletic boy. He was a natural singer and music i a n too, and could play almost any instrument, but preferred the banjo ; a n d wher e ever he went he led community bands and glee clubs. One o f h i s prize d possessions was his banjo.

      He married Russelletta Gedinia Brownell, 15 Nov 1878, at Oak City, Mil l a r d, Utah and was later endowed and sealed 13 Nov 1879, in the Endowm e n t Ho use at Salt Lake City. They were the parents of 5 children, whe n s h e die d, 20 Oct 1887, shortly after Child birth and was buried in t he O a k Cit y Cemetery. Her mother took care of the baby and Steve’s mot her c a red fo r the other children. He met his second wife, Katie Mary O lsen , a t a dan ce in Spanish Fork, Utah. They were married and seale d 6 Fe b 18 89, in t he Manti Temple. To this union was born 11 children , makin g six teen in a ll.

      He was about six feet tall and weighed about 240 pounds. He wore a mo u s t ache at times in his younger years, also at times a coal black bear d , w hi ch he kept well trimmed. In later life, he shaved occasionally , an d th e n let an iron gray beard sprout for a few months before shavi ng ag ain.

      Steve was a farmer and day laborer all his life. He resided in many p l a c es in Utah and Idaho, and seemed to have the wander lust always loo ki n g f or something better, but seemingly always loosing the battle . A lar g e an d growing family devoured his earnings so fast that he cou ld not g e t ahea d. He and his brother, Edward “Ted”, were always very c lose an d s tayed l iving near each other. Because Steve was away from ho me muc h o f the time, for employment, his wife, Katie Mary and the child ren ha d t o do most o f the farm labor.

      A religious and God fearing man, he was ever faithful in Church dutie s , t hough he never held high offices. He was ordained a High Pries t 1 O c t 19 04, and there after was always a Ward Teacher.

      He was very fond of small children, and they reciprocated, so that w h e r e ever he was, in a crowd, he was surrounded by them, telling the m st or ie s and playing amusing pranks to entertain them. With his adole scen t s ons, however, he was stern, not wanting to make them soft and we ak b y sp oili ng them, but with his daughters, who worshipped him, he wa s al l gent lenes s.

      Ordinarily, he was a peaceful man, but he had a violent temper when pr o v o ked, and would not run from a fight. Because he was a hard worker , h e w ou ld often draw higher wages than the other men, just for that r easo n. H e w as also a proud man, and even when embarrassed and humiliat ed b y pove rt y would not accept charity. Steve was always free hearted , howe ver. O nc e he and his son went out after a load of poles for fire wood. O n thei r w ay back they passed the home of a widow, who was desti tute an d neede d fir ewood. So he pulled in and unloaded it for her. Thi s made h is so n ver y angry.

      Finally they bought a little place at Groveland, Idaho, where they b e g a n raising hay, grain, beets, berries, and garden produce; and there af te r, Steve was usually employed by the Sugar Company, cultivating bee t s i n t he summertime, and running the Peterson Beet Dump in the fall.

      After about two year’s illness, he passed away, 12 Nov 1926, at Grovel a n d. His funeral service was at 10:00 a.m. at the Groveland Ward Hal l , 1 4 N ov 1926. He was buried, immediately afterward, at the Moreland , I dah o Ce metery.

      Katie Mary passed away 30 Sep 1955 and is buried in Blackfoot, Idaho.
