George Teeter |
| Mr. George Teeter, the son of Solomon and Charity Teeter, was born in the
Township of Clinton, County of Lincoln, in this Province, Sept. 5th, 1810.
In the year
1835 he was married to Miss Catherine Matilda Hickson. About 1840 he removed to the
northeast part of the Township of Windham, and devoted his energies to farming.
In 1859 he
founded the village of Teeterville, situated on Big Creek, on lots 13 and 14, in the 5th
concession of Windham. Here he built a grist mill and a saw mill, etc. and for many years
carried on a very extensive business. He was greatly esteemed by all who had
dealings with him, on account of his sterling integrity and liberality.
He was for many
years a prominent member of the Methodist Church. Mr. Teeter died at the comparatively
early age of 59, leaving a family of five sons and one daughter (William, Henry, Solomon,
Robt. A., George O., and Helen, wife of O. Tisdale, Esq.).
His large business is now carried on by his sons, William and Henry. The mills and store give employment to about 25 men. Mr. Teeter was for several years a member of the Township Council, and an active magistrate, and his death is still felt to be a public loss. |
