George was killed about seven miles South of Independence, Missouri after he and a company of other guerillas were betrayed by John McDowell, who led a company of federals to their hideout.
George was likely buried nearby.
He was a brother to Wallace & Thomas Talley.
J. P. Burch writes in his book 'A True Story of Charles W. Quantrell';
'George Talley, fighting spelndidly, was shot dead, and Younger himself, encouraging his men by his voice and example, got a bullet through the left shoulder. The Federal advance fell back to the main body and the main body fell back to their horses.'
Rest in peace, sir!
