Died at his home, 2 1/2 miles Northeast of El Dorado, April 14, John Teter, aged 80 years, 25 days. John Teter was born in 1825 in Lewis County, Virginia (during the Civil war in that part cut off and designated as West Virginia.) He was married in 1845 to Lucinda McCoy and of the union these children survive, Washington Teter, Mrs. John Henly of Greenwood county, James W. Teter, Mrs. George C. Haver, Mrs. John Stone of Hereford, Texas and Mrs. Elwood Marshall of Veedersburg, Indiana. Mr. Teter came to Kansas settling in Burlington, Coffey county in 1865. He soon sold his property and moved to Washington thence to California and in 1869 settled on the Walnut some 10 miles north and east of Chelsea, later purchasing the "Martin" farm in the county, perhaps the oldest. In more recent years, he divided his wealth largely, among his children and sought ease and contentment in a modest home. He married a second time and his wife survives him. Mr. Teter was a strong individual character, positive, emphatic and a tower of honesty and integrity. For 40 years he was a member of the Methodist church and has long been a Mason. During the Civil war Mr. Teter was loyal to the Union cause. He had many neighbors who favored the Confederacy. The times were most trying but he showed the real mettle that was in him and took a courageous and unwavering part in the meetings and conventions which finally resulted in the formation of the state of West Virginia. The funeral will be held at the home Sunday April 16 at 2 p.m. After services by Rev. Harrison Waitt of the Methodist church, Masonic ritual service will consign his body to rest in Belle Vista.
