Ivan was born on March 20, 1888, in Livingstonville, Schoharie Co., NY, the only child of Merritt Tallman and Jannis Eldridge. In 1900, Ivan lived in Broome, Schoharie Co., NY, and then by 1910 had moved with his parents to Westerlo, Albany Co., NY. Ivan was a teacher, and in 1908 was teaching at the Union Free School in Rensselaerville, Albany Co., NY.
Ivan met Blanche Stephen in Bridgeport, Fairfield Co., CT where he was teaching accounting at the Butler Business School. Ivan and Blanche were married in 1915, when he was 27 years old, and moved to Schenectady, Schenectady Co., NY where they lived from 1916 until 1918. They moved near Albany, Albany Co., NY and then moved back to Schenectady until 1926. After leaving NY, they moved to Pittsburgh, Allegheny Co., PA. They had two children, Donald and Lois.
Ivan caught the flu during the Influenza epidemic of 1918. He suffered a very high fever and afterwards had bouts of amnesia. During these bouts, he would wander off sometimes for months. It was during the last such episode that he ended up in Dunkirk, Chautauqna Co., NY on June 14, 1931, where he was hit by a car driven by the son of a local banker. He was 43 years old at the time of his death and is buried in South Westerlo, Albany Co., NY with his parents.
