  1. [S2099] Obit: Edward Teats, Mount Clemens Monitor Leader - Jan. 11, 1907
    Several times during the past few weeks mention has been made of the serious illness of Mr. Edward Teats, one of Macomb county's sturdy pioneers. In sad postscript to these paragraphs comes the announcement of his death on the evening of Jan. 2, aged 79 years. Mr. Teats was born in Dutchess Co., N.Y., in 1829. He removed with his grandparents to Michigan when thirteen years old, locating in Harrison township, this county. The story of his boyhood is much the same as that of other boys of that period, but by the time he arrived at manhood and married Miss Harriet Rackham (daughter of Simon Rackham of All Saints, Sussex Co., England) in Mt. Clemens in 1850, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. Geo. W. Newcomb, pastor of the Presbyterian church, his magnetic personality and sterling qualities had so endeared him to the hearts of his fellowmen that he was urged to accept generalship in municipal affairs. Political honors came to him repeatedly. Year after year he represented his constituency in affairs of state and history making. In business life he ever exhibited that integrity and uprightness which always bring success, he thus comparatively early in life securing a competency. But it was in domestic life that honors him greatest, because of his untiring efforts to "make childhood sweet" and his motto, "If you have a friend worth loving, love him; yes, and let him know you love him, ere life's evening tinge his brow with sunset glow." Why should good words ne'er be said of a friend--till he is dead? He loved him home, he loved his fellowman. Mr. Teats united with the Presbyterian church in 1860, (was an elder for many years) and remained in that faith until he passed beyond to enjoy with unclouded brightness the sunshine of that better land. He resided on his farm in Harrison township until 1896 when he sold the place to William Cole and came to make his home with his daughter Grace, in this city. Few men of his day and denomination have been more popular and few will be lamented more. His funeral was held from his late home with Rev. Kennedy in charge of the services who paid eloquent tribute to the memory of his co-laborer. Nine children remain to mourn his loss: Mrs. Chas. Fries, of Utica, Mrs. Henry Generecuix, of Saginaw, Mrs. Thomas Houghton, of Erin, Arthur Teats, of Harrison, Mrs. Chas. Fields of Hamtramck, Mrs. Robert Fox, of Clinton, Mrs. Anson Harris, of Hamtramck, Mrs. Allen Houghton, of Croswell, and Mrs. Jos. M. Danby, of this city. There are 29 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren, also one sister, Mrs. Alice Campau of this city, and two brothers, Jacob Teats, of Kansas, and Philip Teats, of Montana.

    Several times during the past few weeks mention has been made of the serious illness of Mr. Edward Teats, one of Macomb county's sturdy pioneers. In sad postscript to these paragraphs comes the announcement of his death on the evening of Jan. 2, aged 79 years. Mr. Teats was born in Dutchess Co., N.Y., in 1829. He removed with his grandparents to Michigan when thirteen years old, locating in Harrison township, this county. The story of his boyhood is much the same as that of other boys of that period, but by the time he arrived at manhood and married Miss Harriet Rackham (daughter of Simon Rackham of All Saints, Sussex Co., England) in Mt. Clemens in 1850, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. Geo. W. Newcomb, pastor of the Presbyterian church, his magnetic personality and sterling qualities had so endeared him to the hearts of his fellowmen that he was urged to accept generalship in municipal affairs. Political honors came to him repeatedly. Year after year he represented his constituency in affairs of state and history making. In business life he ever exhibited that integrity and uprightness which always bring success, he thus comparatively early in life securing a competency. But it was in domestic life that honors him greatest, because of his untiring efforts to "make childhood sweet" and his motto, "If you have a friend worth loving, love him; yes, and let him know you love him, ere life's evening tinge his brow with sunset glow." Why should good words ne'er be said of a friend--till he is dead? He loved him home, he loved his fellowman. Mr. Teats united with the Presbyterian church in 1860, (was an elder for many years) and remained in that faith until he passed beyond to enjoy with unclouded brightness the sunshine of that better land. He resided on his farm in Harrison township until 1896 when he sold the place to William Cole and came to make his home with his daughter Grace, in this city. Few men of his day and denomination have been more popular and few will be lamented more. His funeral was held from his late home with Rev. Kennedy in charge of the services who paid eloquent tribute to the memory of his co-laborer. Nine children remain to mourn his loss: Mrs. Chas. Fries, of Utica, Mrs. Henry Generecuix, of Saginaw, Mrs. Thomas Houghton, of Erin, Arthur Teats, of Harrison, Mrs. Chas. Fields of Hamtramck, Mrs. Robert Fox, of Clinton, Mrs. Anson Harris, of Hamtramck, Mrs. Allen Houghton, of Croswell, and Mrs. Jos. M. Danby, of this city.

    Several times during the past few weeks mention has been made of the serious illness of Mr. Edward Teats, one of Macomb county's sturdy pioneers. In sad postscript to these paragraphs comes the announcement of his death on the evening of Jan. 2, aged 79 years. Mr. Teats was born in Dutchess Co., N.Y., in 1829. He removed with his grandparents to Michigan when thirteen years old, locating in Harrison township, this county. The story of his boyhood is much the same as that of other boys of that period, but by the time he arrived at manhood and married Miss Harriet Rackham (daughter of Simon Rackham of All Saints, Sussex Co., England) in Mt. Clemens in 1850, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. Geo. W. Newcomb, pastor of the Presbyterian church, his magnetic personality and sterling qualities had so endeared him to the hearts of his fellowmen that he was urged to accept generalship in municipal affairs. Political honors came to him repeatedly. Year after year he represented his constituency in affairs of state and history making. In business life he ever exhibited that integrity and uprightness which always bring success, he thus comparatively early in life securing a competency. But it was in domestic life that honors him greatest, because of his untiring efforts to "make childhood sweet" and his motto, "If you have a friend worth loving, love him; yes, and let him know you love him, ere life's evening tinge his brow with sunset glow." Why should good words ne'er be said of a friend--till he is dead? He loved him home, he loved his fellowman. Mr. Teats united with the Presbyterian church in 1860, (was an elder for many years) and remained in that faith until he passed beyond to enjoy with unclouded brightness the sunshine of that better land. He resided on his farm in Harrison township until 1896 when he sold the place to William Cole and came to make his home with his daughter Grace, in this city. Few men of his day and denomination have been more popular and few will be lamented more. His funeral was held from his late home with Rev. Kennedy in charge of the services who paid eloquent tribute to the memory of his co-laborer. Nine children remain to mourn his loss: Mrs. Chas. Fries, of Utica, Mrs. Henry Generecuix, of Saginaw, Mrs. Thomas Houghton, of Erin, Arthur Teats, of Harrison, Mrs. Chas. Fields of Hamtramck, Mrs. Robert Fox, of Clinton, Mrs. Anson Harris, of Hamtramck, Mrs. Allen Houghton, of Croswell, and Mrs. Jos. M. Danby, of this city.
