Born at Burkburnett, Texas to John Newton and Julie Ann (Honaker) Tallant, Gussie served during World War I. He and his wife, Alma had two children listed in the 1940 census -
Lois and Dale. Dale move to Los Angeles and is now deceased.
Gussie died of a stroke at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He was 73.
I can remember Uncle Gus telling of being on a cattle drive and if the biscuits or beans were burned you learned to say, "that's just the way I like them" or you would get to cook the next day.
My father said that Gus could not read or write but he could drive the wagon to town and remember everything Aunt Alma had requested. He worked for Braden Wrench for 30 years until he retired. They lived on the "Creek Homestead" on Kenosha in Broken Arrow, OK just south of the water mound. I say Homestead because my parents Ellis and Fay Creek, my grandmother Edith Edna Holmes Creek and her disabled daughter, Lorean had a home there, my grandmother had a rent house that her brother, John Fielding Holmes lived in and Gus and Alma also had a home place there.
