Will Hold Rites Today for William Colston Funeral services for William Colston, 56, who died Monday from injuries suffered Sunday on a farm on the Evergreen road will be held at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon from the residence. Burial will be in the Frankfort Cemetery. Colston, mounted on a horse was driving a herd of cows to a barn when a sudden windstorm came up. Riding under the eaves of the barn to keep out of the rain the horse threw Colston as the barn collapsed. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Julia Wiley Colston; two sons, I.J. and Samuel Colston; two daughters, Mrs. M. C. Chaffin and Mrs. Elliott Allen; two brothers, H. C. and Hugh Colston, all of Franklin county, and two sisters, Mrs. R. A. Hisle and Mrs. America Tingle, of Henry county. Frankfort Cemetery, Frankfort, Ky William Colston, 12 Jan 1881-26 Jul 1937 Julia Wiley Colston, 04 Mar 1884-09 Sep 1955 Samuel Colston, 25 Nov 1902-21 Jul 1938 [Son] Marion Chaffin, 1895-1939 Elizabeth Chaffin, 1903-1976 [Daughter] Mrs. Sarah Jane Talbert Mrs. Sarah Jane Talbert, aged 83 years, died at her home near this city Tuesday morning at 2 o'clock with the infirmities incident to advanced age. Mrs. Talbert had been in declining health for several years, and had been complaining only a day or two prior to her death. No grave fears were entertained by the family. She died very peacefully, experiencing no deep suffering. The death of this venerable woman is a blow to the entire community. She was universally loved by all who knew her. Quite a remarkable coincidence is noted in the death of Mrs. Talbert in that she died in the house in which she was born, after having livid there during her entire life. She was born June 12, 1837, the daughter John and Nancy Parker, who died many years ago. Early in life she joined the Christian Church, and was a consistent Christian woman until her death. When quite young she was united in marriage to Mr. W. W. Talbert, who preceded her to the grave 24 years ago. Of this union there are five surviving children, one daughter, Mr. E. J. Burris of near Paris, and four sons, Jesse H. Talbert, of New Florence, Mo., and Charles, Leslie and Parker Talbert, of this county. The funeral services will be held from the late residence this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. W. P. Crouch, pastor of the Carlisle Christian Church in which church she held her membership. The interment will take place in the Carlisle cemetery. The Carlisle Mercury, Carlisle, Ky, March 18, 1920.
