Teater, Allen T.
Death came again into our midst Monday afternoon, June 25th, at 3 o'clock and claimed one
of our most worthy citizens, Mr. Allen Teater. He had been a great sufferer for several months but death came
at an unexpected time.
Mr. Teater was in his seventy-eighth year and had been a man of true worth to this
community, laboring to assist in worthy causes. The rites of baptism, according to the belief of the Methodist
church, were administered in infancy and the deceased lived up to a strict creed.
He was twice married,
first to Miss Celestia Davis, who died a number of years ago. Two sons, Harmon and Elbert, were born of this
unon. Miss Pauline Foster became his wife after her death and she is left to mourn his loss, together with his
two sons, a number of grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends.
Interment took place in the
Methodist churchyard here Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock after services by Rev. Morris, the pastor. The
great number present and the beautiful floral offerings mutely attested to the love and esteem held for him.
Teater, Althea Noel
A pall of sadness descended upon this neighborhood Wednesday morning, October 4th, 1933,
when it became known that Mrs. Althea Noel Teater, wife of Hobart Teater, had been called from this world at
the very beginning of a new day.
She had been ill with tuberculosis for many months and was confined to her
bed for about four months, but bore her sufferings patiently and with little complaint. For a long time she has
realized that her time with her family was very short and had made her wishes known concerning her loved ones
and the conducting of her funeral, all of her suggestions being followed as closely as was possible.
Mrs.
Teater was born April 3, 1895, the youngest daughter of William and Lorinda Ray Noel. She united with Liberty
Baptist church at Buckeye in September 1913, of which she was a devoted member the rest of her days. She was
married to Mr. Teater in March, 1918, two children, J. W. and Ida Lorraine, blessing their union.
She is
survived by her husband and children, her mother, one sister, Mrs. Ollie bogie, of Bryantsville; four brothers,
Jasper Noel of Madison county, Hugh Bogie Noel of Tulsa, OK, Forrest Noel, Lexington, and Daniel Noel of
Buckeye.
Funeral services were conducted at Liberty church, Thursday afternoon at two o'clock with Rev. Roy
M. Gabbert, of Lancaster, preaching the sermon. Burial was in the cemetery of the church here. Pall bearers
were Mr. Hubert Carter and her brothers-in-law, Messrs. Clellie Long, Hughey Moberly, Edward Teater, Welby
Teater and Ollie Bogie. The flower girls were her nieces, Mrs. Mirl Land, Misses Hazel and Althea Bogie and her
cousins, Misses Jewel McCulley, Nellie and Vestina Speakes.

Teater, Martha Simpson

The reaper death, has again thrust in his sycle, and gathered to his realm another precious one,
Mrs. William Teater departed this life May 25th. She had been ill only a few months, and had borne her
sufferings patiently until God in his proper time called her home. She leaves a husband, two children and a
wide circle of friends to mourn her loss. But what is your loss is her gain. Grieve not for her who has gone to
a better and brighter world where there is no sorrow or weeping, but where peace and happiness reigns forever.
She was laid to rest in the Lancaster Cemetery. The many friends extend their heart felt sympathy to the
bereaved ones.
