The Life and Times of Flossie
This information was taken from "The Life and Times of Flossie" (last names were Roberts, Talbot, Anderson). The information was submitted by James O. Talbot.
After marriage, the Talbots started farming on land owned by his father, three miles north of Roberts, Section 4, Lyman Township. In 1921 the moved to the farm where John was born, Section 29, three miles southwest of Roberts Lyman Township.On May 15, 1915 a wind storm went through the area. All the buildings were destroyed except the house which was badly damaged. Machine shed, barn, milk house and the windmill all were blown down or away. The chimney blown off the house, most all the windows broken and flying boards driven through the side of the house.
Walter J. Talbot was listed in the Prairie Farmer Director of Farmers and Breeders Book of Ford County in the 1917 Edition as having Shropshire Sheep, Percheron Horses, Chester White Hogs, and Shorthorn Cattle. Walter owned a Rumeley Threshing Machine his brother Joseph owned the tractor and together did threshing in the area.
The first test of Flossie’s courage came with the death of their son, Walter John Jr. who died August 13, 1918 of infantile paralysis. His sister Florence was suffering from the same malady at the time but recovered. Another son, Elmer Ralph, died March 14, 1924 from pneumonia. And after fourteen years of marriage Flossie lost her husband in a threshing machine accident August 3, 1927. Walter John Talbot died the next day. Years later in 1969, Flossie suffered the loss of another son Chalmer.
The accident that took the life of John resulted in Flossie to do what she years later told Florence was the hardest thing she ever did in her life, move with her five children, ages five months, to eleven years, in with her parents, O. J and Mary Roberts. Her parents were in their sixties, and in the process of losing everything they owned due to business failures and later the depression of the 1930’s.
The Roberts house was large and with a barn for milk cows and chicken house they were able to sell milk, eggs and butter. Bread was also baked for sale. When the hard road was built in the early 1930’s the upstairs bedrooms in the front part of the house were rented to construction workers.
O.J. Roberts died in 1934.

O.J. Roberts died in 1934.
In 1935, because of her lifelong association with the Democratic Party, Flossie was appointed Asss’t Postmaster. On August 25, 1937 Flossie married Adam H. Anderson, a farmer. Adam and Flossie had attended school at the same time in Roberts. Adam was a progressive farmer. He farmed his mother’s 320 acres three miles east of Roberts. Adam became president of the Ford County Farm Bureau and was on of the founders of the Farm Bureau Seed Company in Piper City.
Adam and Flossie left the farm in 1942 and traveled for about a year. Adam had planned to settle in Grants Pass Oregon. They visited me at Washington State College, Pullman, Washington where I was in the Air Force Flight Training program, May 1943.
They returned to Illinois and bought a house with twenty acres just south of Paxton. Adam’s mother and sisters lived in Paxton. Later they moved to a house on the south side of the golf course and Adam started to work full time as a carpenter. Then another extended travel trip and return to Paxton to a house on the north side of the old golf course now a school yard at 611 East Franklin Street. Adam went back to carpenter work. It was their last move.
Flossie was always ready to listen. She never talked about the past or herself. In spite of her many sorrows, she was never bitter or complained, or gave the impression life was unfair.

Early Days in Lyman #13
EARLY DAYS IN THE TOWN OF LYMAN
by Bela Foster
by Bela Foster
Continuing . . .
Since the beginning of this year three of the pupils of the early days in the Smith School (Dist. 37) have died. Harry Fairley, Hattie (Arnold) McNeil, and Roscoe Beighle. Harry Fairly had lived in that district the greater part of his life. He saw his family of eight children grow to womanhood and manhood here except one child that died in infancy. They all attended the same school their father did. One of his sons is now school director of that district. James Fairley died a few years ago. Ray, Harry D., and Alexander are married. Also the daughter Ella. Gordon and Leonard are at home with their mother.
Mrs. McNeil left two daughters and one son. The daughters are married. One daughter, Pearl Dillon died several years ago.
Rosco Beighle died in Montana. He was the oldest son of E. B. Beighle who came here in 1869, when Roscoe was a small boy. He leaves a wife and two sons. Roscoe taught school in Lyman several years. He was a man with rare qualities. I knew him intimately and never heard him speak a bad word or do an evil act. He leaves three sisters and one brother. His sister, Ella is the only member of the family living here.
It is sad to know that steadfast friends are taken when we need them so much.
Amos Arnold and family came here from New York in 1866. They settled on the northwest quarter of section nine.
He used to visit our place once in a while. He was a man of so few words that he amused us. He was a successful farmer and at the time of his death had about a section of land in Ford County.
After he came to town to live I became well acquainted with him.
--Roberts Plat. 1901.
We took long strolls together. He enjoyed flowers and trees and rocks and being of the same turn of mind I enjoyed those rambles very much.
When W. B. Flora resigned as supervisor of the town of Lyman the Board of Auditors appointed Mr. Arnold to that office. He served the remainder of that term and the next one. Three of his children, Johnson, Seward, and Mrs. Seba Linn live here and own land here. One daughter, Mary, lives in the south.
William Hurst and his mother and sisters came to Lyman in 1855. They lived on section 30. Mrs. Mary Hurst died in 1875 leaving two daughters in care of the home place. The Hursts were here when the Connecticut settlement was made.
Mrs. McNeil left two daughters and one son. The daughters are married. One daughter, Pearl Dillon died several years ago.
Rosco Beighle died in Montana. He was the oldest son of E. B. Beighle who came here in 1869, when Roscoe was a small boy. He leaves a wife and two sons. Roscoe taught school in Lyman several years. He was a man with rare qualities. I knew him intimately and never heard him speak a bad word or do an evil act. He leaves three sisters and one brother.

The same year that the Lymans were pounding nails in section two the Hursts were putting up their home in Section 30. Though it was not so spacious as the Lyman home it provided shelter from the storms and howling wolves of that day. I can not say whether the Englanders knew that right over to the northeast the people from the New England states were coming by the dozens and settling on the railroad lands the same as they. No doubt they would have welcomed them if they know it. They would have cheered for the same flag and perhaps voted for the same president.
William Hurst was a genial man when time had streaked his hair with gray. That was when I knew him. He had married one of the nicest women in south Lyman, Miss Mary Roberts, daughter of James Roberts, who lived in section 32.
--Lyman Township Plat. 1884.
Mr. Hurst died several years ago. His widow and his daughters are living. The eldest daughter, Mrs. Cook lives in Roberts. The others in southern Illinois.
Joseph Hurst, William's older brother, settled in section 20.
Joseph Hurst, William's older brother, settled in section 20.
--Lyman Township Plat. 1884.
He was active in the civic affairs in Lyman and filled many offices in the township. He was a faithful officer and when assigned work to do he always did it. He held offices nearly all the time from the organization of Lyman township until he moved away from the place. Mrs. Mary Talbot was his daughter. There are none of this family living now. He died at Harvey a few years ago
