GEORGE ADAMS TALLMADGE , age 91, passed away on July 24, 2006 at the Iowa Veterans Hospital. A long time resident of Savanna, Ill., he moved there to work at the Army Depot in 1968 and retired from the Depot in 1973. Visitation will be held from 5:00-8:00 p.m. Thursday, July 27, 2006 at the Law-Jones Funeral Home, Savanna, Illinois. A Funeral Service and Burial will be in San Marcos Cemetery in San Marcos, Texas. George's father moved from Milwaukee in the early 1900's and settled in Pearsall,Texas as a farmer and later a photographer where he met George's Mother, Lowella Rylander. George worked in his fathers' studio throughout the depression, though he didn't properly speak anything but German until the 8th grade, after they had moved to San Marcos,Tx.. He enlisted in the Army just prior to WWII with his brother Jack, and was one of the survivors who stormed the beaches of Normandy during the European liberation. It was at this time his brother discovered that the Army had mistakenly dropped one of the 'L's in his surname and had never corrected it. His brother's side of the family spells their name "Talmadge" to this day. George went on to serve under General Patton, and he later became a chemist. In 1957 he married Jewel I. Gallagher and had a son, George III, in 1960. He owned his own lab in Corpus Christi in the 1960's until he began Civil Service work for the Army Depot. He divorced and remarried, and a few years later moved to Savanna to work in the lab at the Army Depot. George was a Mason and member of the Savanna Rotary. George survived wife Rebecca Tallmadge, who passed away in 1993. He never remarried, but always had people over to the house and said he never had to worry about being alone. He was respected and loved by everyone it seemed. George loved to garden, and had a very green thumb. His garden grew so well that often the neighbors would have to help him eat the fruits of his labor. Coupling his interests in Botany, Chemistry, and literature (especially Shakespeare) with his stories from WWII and the Army Depot, he always had something interesting to say. Most of the time he succeeded getting folks to listen, too. As he got into his 80's he often commented that he had outlived all of his friends his age and all of his wives, but that now he had younger generations coming around to talk to. The neighbors' kids grew up and had kids and had grandkids and he got to see all of that. When George had a stroke in 2000 he wanted to be able to stay at home and so he got four caregivers to take care of him. He called them his 'Queens' and often commented that he never had it so good. For those of us who remain behind, may we all have a life as long, happy, and fulfilled as George had. It is hard to convey all that George meant to so many people. He has always been and shall continue to be loved, sorely missed, and remembered. George is survived by his son, George Adams Tallmadge III, his two nephews, John and Jeff Talmadge, and by James Hiher, who was as close to a second son as he ever had. He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again.' -Hamlet CHARLES W. TAVENNER

M.B. THOMPSON
- Lanark Gazette extra published Tuesday of this week, gave the following thrilling account of "Low" Thompson's shooting himself: M. B. Thompson, one of the best known men in Carroll and adjoining counties, committed suicide in this city at Geo. Taber's livery stable about 5:30 this morning. This is a great shock to everybody, as he was the last man on earth who was expected to end his life. Mr. Thompson came down town about 5 o'clock and walked around several blocks, and seemed. to those who conversed with him, to be in his usual good spirits. He went to the livery stable and awakened the night hostler, Sam Rule, and passed several joking remarks, and then walked away, shutting the office door as he went out. Young Rule fell into a doze and shortly afterwards heard the report of a revolver, but thought nothing of it at the time. At about 6 o'clock he arose from his couch and went out when he found Mr. Thompson lying upon the floor cold in death, with a 32 caliber revolver clinched in his left hand and a great pool of blood surrounding the body. The cause of the rash act is not positively known, but is supposed to be financial trouble, superinduced by a too liberal use of intoxicants, although "Low" Thompson was the last man on earth expected to do a thing of this kind. He was a man who was always in a happy mood and pleasant in the extreme most of the time. He was about 60 years of age, and leaves a wife in comfortable circumstances. Mrs. Thompson is almost prostrated with grief, but is kindly attended by good friends. Mr. Thompson was known everywhere as a horseman and veterinarian, and had numerous warm friends. Drs. Wales and Packard were called and upon examination found the bullet had gone into the left ear and took an upward course. Upon the advice of the doctors, the body was placed upon a couch and taken to the home of deceased, there to await Coroner Johnson, who is expected to arrive on the 10:04 train this morning from Savanna.
