Albert P. Talbot

Albert P. Talbot, Lynn, Ind., 83, passed away on March 17, 2021, at Reid Health and Hospital of Richmond, Ind.

He was born on July 23, 1937, in Port Newt, Canada.

A lifelong farmer, Albert got his feet wet in the business working at Heaven Hill Farms after he came to the farm in Lake Placid, N.Y., from an orphanage in New Brunswick with another farm hand, Floyd Fanjoy. The two traveled with John Perkins and the show string via box car during the glory days of the tanbark trail, working behind the scenes with the prize-winning Registered Jerseys. Talbot was a herdsman from the early 1980s until the Heaven Hill herd was transferred to the W.H. Miner Agricultural Research Institute in Chazy, N.H., in 1988.

Alfred, known as “Groundhog” to many of his friends, was known for being humble, kind and active and always wearing a smile. He enjoyed fishing and, above all, spending time with his grandchildren.

He is survived by his wife, Juanita; a son, Lloyd Talbot of Lynn; two daughters, Elizabeth Clark of Winchester, Ind., and Cindy Donell of Lynn; five grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

Albert was preceded in death by his parents and siblings, Frank, Mary, and Dottie.

Topping the Buckeye Classic Sale was JX Pine-Tree 1860 Demos 2418 {5}-P-ET for Matthew Steiner. She was purchased by Ed and Lori Jasurda. Sale chair Sarah Lehner is on the halter of “2418.” In the box are auctioneer Todd Woodruff and JMS manager Greg Lavan.
