Prominent Paris Woman Passes Away at the Good Samaritan

Paris, Ky., Aug. 26. - Mrs Sallie Grimes Talbott, wife of Mr Robert C Talbott, died Wednesday afternoon about 4 o'clock at the Good Samaritan Hospital, in Lexington, where she had been critically ill for several days.

Mts Talbott was the younger of two daughters of the late William and Elizabeth Hedges Grimes. Mrs Grimes moved to Paris with her daughters and lived on Duncan Avenue, where Mrs Talbott continued to reside until a few years ago, when the family moved to a farm near Austerlitz, in this county.

Mrs Talbott is survived by her husband, one of the best known attorneys in the State and a partner of Hon Robert Franklin and W H Whitley, of Paris; by four daughters, Mrs Wade H Whitley, of Paris; Mrs Virgil Gaitskill, Misses Mary Adams Talbott and Anna McMillan Talbott, and one son, Robert Talbott, Jr, all of whom live at Austerlitz, and one devoted sister, Miss Elizabeth Grimes, who makes her home with the Talbott family. Three young grandchildren also survive.

Mrs Talbott was one of the most prominent and popular women in Bourbon County. She was actively interested in every movement for the improvement of the community, a devoted member of the Christian Church and its societies, the C W B M and the Woman's Society, regent of the local chapter of the DAR, a prominent club woman, a member of the Paris Literary Club and also of the W C T U.

She was especially interested in her large family, attending personally to the education and development of her children, allowing nothing to interfere with her care of them.

Undertaker W. O. Hinton went to Lexington to take charge of the body and bring it to the desolated home, but the funeral arrangements have not been made.
