It contains the following names and birth dates of their children: Matilda E., Oct. 1, 1849 Asa H., March 23, 1851 George W., Mar. 1, 1852 Edgar E., July 17, 1855 Ella E., April 19 1857 Simon P., Sept 19, 1860 Minnie B., Dec. 29, 1862 Florence A., April 29, 1864 Jessie, June 14, 1867 Shermon U., Sept. 27, 1869 Anna R., Nov. 25, 1872 Florence "Flora" A. Teeple Marks, born in Illinois, died July 1, 1950, in California, was the wife of Jason L. Marks (born about 1860.) Father of Luke Teeple was Peter Teeple. Luke's mother's maiden name was Tisdale. The following profile is from Past and Present of Hardin County, Iowa, published in 1911. Contributed by Robert Fahey: No other period in American history can be compared to that of the California "gold-fever," when the craze for sudden wealth attacked all classes of society and took men from all stations to the region where they supposed it might be found. The hopes of some were gratified, others paid with their lives for their presumption; the majority came out with a hard and valuable experience, which perhaps in part compensated for their lack of gold. To this latter class Mr. Teeple belonged. Luke Teeple was born in Izura, Canada West, within ten miles of London, Canada, on October 3, 1828, the son of Simon Peter and Ann (Tasdal) Teeple. His parents were both natives of Canada. Simon Peter went at an early age to New York, and there graduated as a physician, and took up the practice of medicine on the Illinois river, twenty miles from Peoria. In 1837 he came to Iowa with his brother, his wife and three children, Luke, Theodore and Ralph. He settled on the English river in Washington county, sixteen miles south of Iowa City, and took up a claim while practicing medicine. He was prominent among the early settlers and was elected to the territorial Legislature of 1840-41, and helped locate Iowa's first capital at Iowa City. After leaving the Legislature he removed to Iowa City and opened a drug store, but one day a few weeks afterward took a violent cold, and in four days passed to his last home. His father later married Mary Stone, who bore him two children, Theodore and Ralph. Luke Teeple received but a meagre school education, which his broad experience later has made up for. After his father's death he was taken back to Illinois by his uncle, Philan Cartwright, and his uncle's folks had something at which to keep him busy besides school. In the fall of 1845 Luke started out for himself, and hired out to a blacksmith for three years in order to learn the trade, he receiving for his services ninety-five dollars for three years, board and washing. But he learned his trade thoroughly, and in 1849 married Ann Dagget, a member of a family originally from Ohio, and took his bride to Argyle, Wisconsin, where he followed his trade from the spring of 1850 to 1852, when he returned to Illinois, and on April 12, 1852, started to make the journey overland to California with an ox team. Throughout the entire journey of hardships he walked, and on August 27, 1852, arrived at Hangtown, California. He made a dismal failure of mining and opened a blacksmith shop there. Later he moved to Sacramento, and after the big fire of 1852 opened a shop there. Shortly afterwards the levee broke, and he was able to make a little money by making a boat and helping those who needed assistance and were not fortunate enough to own a boat. Afterwards he ran a blacksmith shop near the Eldorado House at Hangtown, and finally got enough money together to return in 1854 to his family in Illinois. For a great many years he farmed in Illinois, then in 1888 moved to a farm four miles south of Iowa Falls, Hardin county, Iowa, where he farmed until 1893, and then retired to Hubbard, Hardin county, in which village he has a comfortable home in which to pass his declining years in the society of friends. In 1893 he and his wife went to California and spent a year, then came back and located in Hubbard. Ann Dagget, the first wife of Mr. Teeple, was the daughter of Asal Dagget, and was born in March 13, 1829. he died on February 21, 1901, and is buried in Iowa Falls cemetery. To her union with Mr. Teeple eleven children were born. Matilda married Ed. Manning, who is now deceased, and she is living with her father. She is the mother of eight children. Asa H. married Mary Dawson, who bore to him two children, and is living in Cartersville, Iowa. George married Ida Darval, has four children, and lives in Akely, Minnesota. Edgar E. married Dell Percey, who has borne to him one child, and recently moved from Iowa Falls to California. Simon Peter married Clara Marien, has two children and lives in Belvidere, Illinois. Ella E. married Charles Gilbert, and both are deceased, leaving two children. Minnie died at the age of nine. Florence married J. L. Marks, to whom she has borne two children, and resides in Iowa Falls. Jesse died a the age of twenty-two months. Sherman married Albert Smallridge, of Hardin county, and is the mother of one child, and they live on a farm seven miles northwest of Iowa Falls. Mr. Teeple was married on Dec. 31, 1901, to Mary J. Rockwood, whose family were originally from Vermont. She died Jan. 3, 1908, and is buried in Hubbard cemetery. Mr. Teeple is a man who is much respected in the village of Hubbard, and can talk very entertainingly of his experiences in earlier times. It has fallen to his lot to pass through more than ordinary hardships, but his later days are comfortable, and he has brought up a large family who are now filling useful places in the world.
