Read More	This obit from unidentified newspaper without a date but from the content was after the funeral held, was copied April 23, 2001, by Ora M. "Gretta" Nuttle Ross, g-g-g-niece of Wash Teter. Washington Teter was born April 11, 1846, at Buchanan, West Va., and died at his home in El Dorado, Kansas, October 19, 1915, age 69 years, 7 months, and 9 days. In 1862 with his parents he moved to Iowa where after three years residence, they moved to Kansas and located in Cof-fey county, near Burlington in 1865. September 6, 1869, he was married to Miss Mary C. Arendt and again with his father's family he and his wife went to Oregon. His father immediately returned to Kansas and located on the head of Fall river in Greenwood county. Mr. and Mrs. Teter remained in Oregon two years, when they too returned and located in Greenwood county near his father. They made this their home until 1883, when Mrs. Teter died. To them were born five children, John Alva Teter, who now lives near Chelsea; Lucinda Teter, who died in 1884; Henry Teter of Frazee, Minn.; Mrs. Autha Powell and Jacob Teter of El Dorado. After the death of his wife, he came to live with his father near E. Dorado, at the Teter homestead. In 1884 he purchased the old Marshall farm 4-1/2 miles northeast of El Dorado and lived there until November 6, 1905, when with his family he moved to El Do-rado and this has since been his home. January 1, 1903 Mr. Teter suffered a stroke of paralysis and in a short time a second stroke, and came very near dying. He never recovered from these attacks but for 12 years has been enfeebled and a constant sufferer. Saturday, October 9, he was down town in the afternoon, returned home and complained of not feeling well. Shortly he was stricken the third time and never rallied from the shock. All that was possible for loving hands and physi-cians' skill was done for him, but to no avail. The sorrowing and bereaved com-panion and eight children, all of whom have reached maturity, have the sympa-thy of a wide circle of intimate friends and acquaintances as well as the entire community in this dark hour of afflic-tion. Mr. Teter was not connected with any church, nor was he affiliated with any lodge or secret organization, yet in his family relations and in his dealings with his fellows, he was upright, honest and bore an unsullied reputation. He was kind and generous to a fault, broad minded and charitable and esteemed and respected by all. He served four years on the board of county commissioners and his public re-cord is above reproach. He was the soul of honor and enjoyed the confidence of his constituency. He is gone, but his loved ones have the precious memory of kind words and kinder deeds, of an exam-ple well worthy of emulation and best of all the sweet remembrances of a loving husband and indulgent father. The funeral was held at 3:00 Wednes-day from the home, 322 Oskaloosa street. The attendance was large and many gath-ered to pay their last tributes of love and respect to their friend and neighbor. The floral offerings were profuse and were si-lent tokens of a feeling which cannot be framed in word. Those who attended his bier were M. H. Armstrong, T. H. Keplinger, J. E. McCully, John Ellis, A. J. Holderman, Wm. L. Shriver. These tenderly laid him to rest in his family lot in Belle Vista cemetery. And there he sleeps.
