On Jan 26, 1895 he married Miss Hattie L. BRADY (15 1/2 years old) native

March 5 1878, son of James T. TALBERT, native of Greenville, Muhlenburg County,

The RICHARDSON family lived on the property now known as Richardson Springs resort. The indians had known of the healing waters and the owners permitted visitors to use and carry home jugs of the water.
In 1898 the first hotel and bathhouse was built. In 1903 the RICHARDSON
brothers divided the land between them. The one, brother, J. H.
RICHARDSON, known as the silent one, ended up with the canyon land, which was
considered less valuable. He tried to trade it, unsuccessfully, but his wife, Alice
ALDERSLY, decided she would like to make a resort of it so they improved
the grounds and cottages were built on either side of Mud Creek. In 1922 the
main hotel burned but work was started on a new brick and tile structure
which was completed in 1924.
There was something called 'blue mud' which was said to have curative
powers for rheumatism. Mrs. Nellie LYON, daughter of Pierce RICHARDSON remembers
(as a child) seeing a young woman brought to the hotel in a stretcher and
then about a week later seeing this same patient tripping across the
parlor, and sitting down to play the piano.
General J. MONTGOMERY, father of Mrs. C. W. CURRIE, was so enthusiastic
about the waters that he urged his friends to join him and try them. In
his honor a spring was named after him -- Montgomery Sprng.
This was the FIRST business concern to see the value of using book matches
on a large scale for advertising. The management ordered MILLIONS of
matches which were used to advertise the Springs throughout the state.
During World War II, beef from the area was highly thought of and used
exclusively to feed the patients of Mare Island Navy Hospital.
I don't think these articles are going to give you the answer about this
being a mental institution. It seems it was a resort -- nicknamed the
"Home of the Soft Shirt" whatever that means. Sandra

"Here in this lovely valley, lived a man about whose qualities I feel
myself impelled to speak...I heard no man speak in his favor, nor even
one intimate one redeeming trait in hi character. The universal cry was
against him. At the Thousand Acre Field and Iaqua Ranch even the woman
who was shot and burned to death was condemed for living with such a
man. Of most enormities of which he stands accused you are aware. An
accomplice and actor in the massacre at Indian Island and South Bay; the
murder of Yo-keel-la-bah; recently engaged in killing unoffending
Indians, his party, according to their own story, having killed eighteen
at one time (eight bucks, ten squaws and children) and now at work
imbruing his hands in the blood of slaughtered innocents. I do not think
Mr. Larrabee can be too emphatically condemed."
***this in reference to a man named Hank Larrabee, living at Larrabee
Creek in Humbolt County.**
Pg 131:
The Indians who had been taken to the Klamath Reservation began to
return to their homes during July (1860), and by October most of them
had left the reservation. Agent Buel tried to return them but gave up
when the settlers interfered because they wanted they Indians removed
entirely from the region. In January 1861, there were many reports of
Indian depradations which consisted of attacks on settlers and property
throughout the county, especially along the upper Eel River, and
Lieutenant Lynn and a detachment of troops were ordered to the South
Fork of the Eel river.
Pg. 160: Regarding the Yolla Bolly Country:
And to this particular country came a unique breed of men from Missouri,
attracted by the natural wealth of the country.There was some gold
mining at first but the original settlers engaged in hide trade and
livestock. These Missourians were, as a rule, tall and lean. The family
altar was the frying pan. Although a vigorous people when healthy, they
were not very ambitious to improve themselves. They loved to tell
stories and chew tobacco. They were very hospitable to their friends,
but were very poor housekeepers. They were called "hide hutners",
"buckskin gentry", "squatters" and "squaw men". Lieutenant Daniel Lynn,
in a report from Camp Armstrong South Yager and it's main western
branch, Lawrence Creek, described the charactor of these men: "It is my
conviction that there are about a dozen all together, and they are
renegades from the states, vagabonds from society, escaped convicts from
justice and outlaws forced to leave their homes and seek a livelihood in
parts unknown. They are clothed like the best clad of the natives an
dyou would mistake them for natives of you did not know them. They
indulge in the most extravgant style of conversation, yea, so
extravagant that the truth is almost out of the pale of their thoughts.
Pg 177: Regarding an Indian attack on the Sproule brothers in the winter
of 1860-1861:
Commenting on the Sproul attack by vengeful Indians and other
difficulties of mid January, Lieutenant Daniel Lynn reproted:
The only reliable and satisfactory of these difficulties and their
origin that I have yet received is one from Mr. Bruce, a partner of Mr'
Armstrong's, of the valley of the South Fork.... It appears that a Mr.
Ross, widely known as a trafficker with Indians, with one or more
persons, was going up to the South Fork between Mr. Armstrong's place
and that of the Sprouls and was overtaken by a small party of rather
bold Indians (whom he) fired on and I think, killed one.
When the Sproul boys appeared and took sides with Ross, escorting him
to their home, the Indians thought that the Sprouls shared Mr. Ross's
sentiments and were their enemies- a very rational conclusion,
especially when it is added that hte boys then sheltered him and
protected him. So the Indians thought they would clean the boys out at
the first opportunity. The boys had killed a bear and were dressing it
out when the Indians attacked them. The sequel you know; the boys were
nearly killed.
