Charles Edward Talbott

Charles Edward Talbott was hanged on July 22, 1881, at the Maryville jail in Maryville, Missouri, before a crowd the Iron County Register put at about 10,000. He and his brother were led from the jail to the gallows, a march of about three-quarters of a mile, and went up the scaffold together. His mother and other relatives visited the jail to take their last leave of the brothers, which the paper described as an affecting scene. The hanging was the first legal execution in Nodaway County.

Cause of death, as reported: Executed by the state
