Charlesetta Talbert was born about 1901 in Barry Co. MO. In a history book of Early Barry County it says that Thomas Talbert was with the University of MO 1914-1917. He served as Executive Secretary in the U. S. Food & Drug Administration for MO during WWI, 1917-1919. From Sept to Dec. 1919 was with the University of California. From 1920 "until he returned to the University of MO" he was at Kansas State College. He and Mary Allene had three children, John David, Patricia Ann and Frances Jane. It doesn't say when or where he and Mary A. were married but I'm guessing since she was from Livermore they were married there. My thought was, I think I already said, Charlesetta may have met someone there and married and stayed there. She doesn't seem to show up again in MO after age 17, in 1918. A court record in Barry Co. MO lists her guardian then (1918) as I. B. Gaskins. He was another uncle. Charlesetta's parents were Charles L. Talbert and Allie May Gaskins. Allie M! ay died in 1911 in Barry Co.
