George Teeple
George Teeple was born in Sussex county, New Jersey, on March 25, 1832. When five years old his parent removed to Canton, Ohio, where he lived until August 1869. He then came to Kansas and lived near Burlington until the time of his death on October 17, 1912.
Mr. Teeple was an old soldier and a member of the G. A. R. He served for three years in Company D., 107th Ohio Infantry. Mr. Teeple was very well known over Coffey county and for many years he was one of the county's successful school teachers. Before he became broken by old age he was a great man to walk and always walked back and forth from his school, even tho it was several miles away, and he always enjoyed the healthful exercise much more than riding.
He leaves a wife and three sons, Elmer of Gridley and John and C. S. of Burlington, besides a number of other relatives and a host of friends who mourn their loss.
The funeral was held at the Union Hall church Friday October 18th at 3 o'clock in charge of Rev. C. L. Hovgard of the M. E. church. The body was laid to rest in the Sherwood cemetery.
