“MORRIS HATHAWAY TALCOTT, at the present time [1903] assistant manager of Talcott Brothers, was born in Monroe county, N. Y., in 1853, a son of Elijah Hart Talcott, who was born in Manchester, Conn., April 10, 1817, and died Nov. 11, 1866. In early life Elijah H. Talcott was employed in the Kellogg Mills, and in 1847, removed himself and family to Monroe county, N. Y., where he purchased a farm of one hundred acres, and there he spent his last years. As a farmer he was quite successful, and died leaving his family a very fair estate. In political views he was a stanch Republican, and was a liberal and broad minded man. In his religious convictions he took strong ground in the Presbyterian Church, and while in New York was very active in the affairs of that communion. Mr. Talcott was married (first) April 27, 1841, to Ninetta West; (second) May 27, 1852, to Clarissa Hathaway, the mother of Morris H.; and (third) to Elizabeth Hitchcock….
“Morris Hathaway Talcott came to Vernon in 1869, to make his home in the family of his uncle, Horace W., who was his guardian, as both his parents were dead. In Talcottville he had the most of his schooling, though he attended Williston Academy, Easthampton, Mass., for a short time. On the death of his uncle he entered the office as assistant bookkeeper, and very soon came into the entire charge of the books. From time to time he assumed additional responsibilities, until for some years he has been the assistant manager.
“Mr. Talcott was married April 16, 1878, to Alice Louisa, daughter of George W. and Harriet Jerusha (Gear) Sparks, for many years farming people at Hebron. The Sparks family came from Scotland, and has given some of the best citizens it has had to this part of the State…. Mr. and Mrs. Talcott were the parents of the following family: (1) Louis Hart, born March 27, 1879,… (2) Morris Gardner, born July 20, 1880,… (3) Faith Harriet, born Jan. 1, 1882,…
“Mr. Talcott is a stanch Republican, and takes an active interest in the affairs of his community, especially as regards its educational interests and activities, for the past dozen years serving on the board of education. The family are all members of the Talcottville Congregational Church, and on the death of Samuel A. Talcott, Mr. Talcott was made a deacon, and is still serving in the position. In 1868 he united with the church, and has always been an active worker in its various organizations. Mr. Talcott is in the ninth generation of his family on American soil, and takes a justifiable pride in his ancestral history….”
