William H. Talbot

Word of the sudden passing ofWilliamH. Talbot November 5, at his Hillsborough, Califo.rnia, home was a distinct shock to his hundreds of friends in the lumbei industry. Mr. Talbot, who was born in San Francisco May 24, 1858, and so was in his 73rd year, had been prominently identified with the business development of the Pacific Coast for a full half century.

He was one of the five children of Captain William C. Talbot, the pioneer lumberman who is credited with bringing one of the first, if not the first cargoes of lumber from New Fngland in the busy days of '49. Captain Talbot, with A. J. Pope founded the firm of Pope & Talbot, to the executive management of which William H. Talbot succeeded on the death of his father in the early eighties. Associated withWilliam H. Talbot in the business for many years was his brother, the late Frederick T. Talbot. Since the latter's passing, William H. was the sole directing head of the vast Pope & Talbot interests, which included mills and timber holdings in the Northwest and a varied group of activities in California. Tust a few davs before his death Mr. Talbot concluded neg6tiations dispbsing of the Pope & Talbotretail lumber yards. in San Francisco. to the Charles R. McCormick Lumber Co.

Mr. Talbot was a director of several banks, including the Wells Fargo Bank & Union Trust Company of San Francisco. He was also a prime mover in the formation of the Douglas Fir Exploitation and Export Corporation, and was its first president. This post, which he first took in 1916, he held for many years.

In the days before the San Francisco fire Mr. Talbot was one of the most colorful figures of the California Street financial and commer,cial district. He was an ardent, public spirited citizen of his native city and his influence extended into high places. Mr. Talbot was twice married. His surviving widow, the former Susan Darneal, whom he married in 1917, is left to mourn, as are three children by the first marriage, Miss Vera Talbot of Hillsborough, Frederick C. Talbot of Seattle and William C. Talbot of [,os Angeles.
