Tracy,
As far as I know, the State didn't require death registration until 1908 as you mentioned. I know that the city of Mobile kept vital records beginning in the 1870s, but I doubt that Tallapoosa County would have kept them.
To narrow down a death date and names of next-of-kin, I'd look for a probate record where an inventory and subsequent settlement of his estate may have been recorded. Don't forget to check for a will as well. Per the catalog of the Alabama Archives, they have microfilm copies of that county's court documents going back to the 1840s.
Also, you might see if there were any deeds in that period where his widow or children sold off his land following his death. Often you'll find a record showing where the title was transferred to the children and subsequent deeds where the children sold off their shares of the property.
If you aren't local, here's a link to an Alabama Archives researcher that I've used before and would recommend for a timely and efficient response:

Good luck, hope this helps,
