Biography
Admitted to the bar in 1872, Mr. Talbott began in practice at Rockville ten years later, and has since engaged in professional practice before the supreme court of Maryland and the District of Columbia. He possesses much natural aptitude for the law, being a concise and logical reasoner, who always has his cases well in hand. As a speaker, he is earnest and at times eloquent, and his services are always in demand during campaigns, where his influence promotes the Democratic cause. His logical arguments are relieved by flashes of wit, and illustrations from the homely affairs of everyday life, that never fail to impress the minds of his hearers.
In 1872 our subject graduated at the Columbian University, of Washington, D. C. At the age of twenty-one he embarked in the grain business at Georgetown, and this he followed for ten years, then turned his attention to the law. He is one of the four oldest lawyers in Montgomery County, where he has built up a large and profitable general practice. In religious belief he is a Methodist. He is connected with Montgomery Lodge No. .195, A. F. & A. M., Columbia Chapter No. 4, R. A. M., and DeMolay Commandery No. 3, K. T., at Washington. January 14, 1875, he married Cora E. Wilson, of Georgetown. Four children comprise their family, namely: Estelle Hyde; Thomas M., a student in Cornell University, Helen Wilson and Evelyn Wailes.
