Ralph Talbot

  General Notes:

Ralph and his family were living in the North Platte farm house that originally belonged to his parents, Absolom Jr. & Margaret Burrows Talbot, at the time of Alex Johnson's death there when he and his wife Lula Mae were visiting with Lula Mae's family in North Platte in 1930. According to DeWayne B. Johnson 8/17/1986: "Son Ralph was something of the farm foreman and the rest of the siblings battled over the smallish estate, contending it was unfair of Ralph to have taken advantage of the situation to assume control of the ranch."

D. B. Johnson further writes: "The forks of the Platte River come together at North Platte, Nebraska, and part of the bottom land of the Talbot Ranch was divided by the river. My vague recollection, substantiated by I know not what, is that on one occasion when my family was visiting the ranch Grandmother Talbot and I got mired in quick sand and she held me aloft as we sank into the gooey substance. needless to say, we were rescued, or I wouldn't be able to write this way to you today."
