Obituary.

GEORGE TEETERS was born in Bradford county, Pa., Feb 7, 1841. He went to Iowa when six years of age. In 1862 he married PHOEBE C. WINDERS. In 1872, he moved to Kansas and has resided in or near Onaga, until his death on June 3, 1903. To Mr. and Mrs. Teeters were born eight children, all of whom have reached manhood and womanhood. These children are three sons, FRANCIS, SAMUEL, and GEORGE, and five daughters, Mrs. ELIZA EHLER, Mrs. MAY FIELDS, Mrs. Minnie SHANLEP, Mrs. Katie BROWNLEE, and Miss AGNES TEETERS. These children with their families and the devoted wife live to mourn the loss of father and husband. Religiously, Mrs. TEETERS and family are of the German faith known as Dunkards. Mr. TEETERS lived, as all will testify, an honest upright life, and was an exemplary husband and a wise and loving father.

Mr. TEETERS was one of twelve children, four of whom are still living, Mrs. BROWN GARRETT, of McLouth being one of the sisters, and Mrs. LIB ALFORD of Oklahoma, the other sister. Two brothers live near Onaga.
