     Note: "Past and Present of Greene County" by Stillman, page 657:

The name of Tallman is closely associated with agricultural interests in Paton township, where three brothers are operating fine farms. The one upon which Winfield H. Tallman re sides comprises one hundred and sixty acres of rich land in a district famous for it agricultural possibilities and the fine appearance of the place today is due to his unfaltering perseverance and energy. He came to Greene county from Jones County, Iowa, where his birth occurred on the 28th of August, 1852. His father, John Tallman, was a native of Ohio and in that state was married to Miss Lucinda Low, whose birth occurred near Baltimore, Maryland. They remained residents of the Buckeye state for only a brief period after their marriage, when they removed to Iowa, settling in Jones county in 1845. There Mr. Tallman purchased land and carried on farming, being numbered among the successful agriculturists of that community up to the time of his death, which occurred on the 30th of July, 1893, when he was seventy-two years of age. His widow survived for many years and live there until her death. Mr Tallman was quite prominent in local political circles and was honored with various offices, filling all of the township positions and also serving as a member of the county board of supervisors for nine years. No trust reposed in him was ever betrayed in the slightest degree and his record as a business man and office holder was extremely commendable. His life, too, in all of its relations was in harmony with his professions as a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. His political allegiance was given to the Republican party. Unto him and his wife were born ten children Winfield H. Tallman, having spent his boyhood days in the county of his nativity in the acquirement of a good common school education and in assisting in the work of the home farm, Mr. Tallman made arrangements for having a home of his own by his marriage on the 2d of November, 1873, to Miss Edith J. Ganser, a native of Ohio and a daughter of Samuel and Catherine (Rhoads) Ganser, who removed from the Buckeye state to Jones county, Iowa, about 1860 and there resided until called to their final rest. In the Ganser family were nine children. In the Tallman family were six children. Mr. Tallman came to Greene county in 1877 and settled on one hundred and sixty acres of land in Paton Township, where he resided. His elder brothers, Reuben and Nathaniel C. Tallman, were first settlers of the township. There were no improvements upon his land, and he says that its chief crop at the time was mosquitoes and bullfrogs, some very large specimens being produced of each variety. However, the spirit of energy which has always characterized Winfield was soon manifest in his farm labor, with the result that he now has a splendidly improved property. His residence is one of the fine homes of his part of the county and there are also large and substantial outbuildings for the shelter of grain and stock. In fact, none of the equipments of a model farm are lacking and the place gives every evidence of the care and supervision of the owner, who is practical in his methods, systematic in his work and successful in accomplishing what he undertakes. In addition to his home property, he owns twelve hundred and eighty acres of land in Wells county, North Dakota. Winfield gives his political allegiance to the republican party and served as township trustee. In matters of citizenship he is progressive, desirous of advancing the welfare of the community, and while promoting individual interest, he has also found time and opportunity to co-operate in those plans and measures which are instituted for the public good.
