Charles Gratiot Talcott died in Washington, D. C., Sept. 15, 1867. He was a Civil Engineer by profession, and was engaged on several important public works, among which were the enlargement of the Erie canal, in the Stste of New york; the Washington, D. C., water works, and the Imperial Mexican Railway, in Mexico. Of his son, Charles G., the Washington Daily Critic, of the 22d Sept., 1875, says:
"Among the successful competitors in the late examination, at Annapolis, were Mr. Yarnell, the son of Prof. Yarnell, of the Observatory, and Mr. Charlie Talcott, whose mother is so well rembered in Georgetown, as the pretty and brilliant Miss Theo. Barnard. The latter is the youngest cadet engineer ever admitted, having attained his 16th year but a few days ago. His success was further creditable, as he has had the advantage of American schools only within the past few years, having lived in Mexico, where his father occupied a high official position. His uncle and ant were members of the royal household, and his family honored guests always at the court of the Emperor Maximilian and Carlotta. When the French army marched out of the country, leaving the Emperor to his death, Mrs. Talcott and her children were sent by her husband away from the dangers of the capital city, the commanding officer providing her with an escort which conducted them to a place of safety. Shortly after this Mr. Talcott died, and his widow came here five years ago with her five children, bereft alike of her protector and her fortune, and obtained an office, battling bravely with the world, as only mothers can, for those dependent on her. We congratulate her on the success of her son, who passed No. 18 in a class of 140 competitors."
