Charles Potts Talbot, a native of Ireland, died in Lowell in 1884. With his brother, Thomas, Charles founded and owned the Talbot Mills in Billerica and the Talbot Dyewood & Chemical Company in Lowell.
Charles died in his home on Chestnut Street in Lowell, Massachusetts, aged seventy-seven. He was born in Ireland in 1807 and was brought to this country by his parents when he was two years old. After receiving a fair education he began life as an employee in a woolen mill in Northampton. He was for a short time an overseer in the Middlesex Mills at Lowell, and in 1834 went to Williamsburg and began manufacturing on his own account. In 1838, he sold out at Williamsburg and went to North Billerica and began the manufacturing of dyestuffs. In 1839 his brother Thomas joined him, and the now well-known manufacturing firm of C. P. Talbot & Co. was formed. Mr. Talbot stood high as a business man and was an earnest Republican. He had lived in Lowell for forty years and acquired a large estate. The Talbot Memorial Chapel in Lowell Cemetery was erected in his honor by his widow, Harriet Eliza Rogers Talbot.
