Hettie (Hester) Evans lived in Southwest Montgomery County with her cousin, T.C. Steele (prominent Indiana artist) and attended the Waveland Academy. Later, she married Henry (H.H.) Talbot, a Civil War Veteran who had been wounded twice during his service. The Talbots owned the land west of what is now Barr Street and between Wayne Avenue and the Country Club Road. Captain Talbot started the McPherson's Post No. 7 of the Grand Army of the Republic. Hettie Talbot was the first president of Women's Relief Corps No. 74 (and was the last remaining charter member after 61 years at the age of 97).
