Obituary: We are sad to announce that Teresa Allcorn, long time Talbot Board Member, has passed away at 62

Teresa Allcorn, Talbot Board Member, passed away unexpectedly on January 19, 2026. We are so sad about this news and wanted to share it with her friends and our generous supporters of the Talbot Library and Museum.

Teresa volunteered so much of her time at Talbot Library and Museum for so many years. She was a valued member of our Board of Trustees and served as our treasurer. She was a friend to every one of us and to

so many others who entered our doors. Teresa loved helping people with genealogy research and was an excellent researcher. She had studied and knew so much about our facility, our library and museum collections, and the history of our surrounding area. She also wrote many articles for TL&M Genealogy Magazine over the years. Teresa will be greatly missed by those of us at Talbot Library and she leaves a huge hole in our efforts at the library and museum, as well as in our hearts. She was a wonderful Christian woman and such a treasure for sure! --We love you Teresa, from your friends at the Talbot Library and Museum
