1 Martha Ann Mathews

OBITUARY: The Rushville Times, August 10, 1899; NOTE: Martha A. Teel was born in Wilmington, New Castle Co., Del., Nov. 5, 1811. In 1812 her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Mathews, crossed the Allegheny mountains on horseback and settled in Pittsburgh, Pa. In 1820 they removed to Frankford, Pa. and from there went to Ohio. On June 1, 1829 Miss Mathews was married to Henry P. Teel. Three years afterward they removed to Illinois and located in this city. The trip was made via the Ohio, Mississippi and Illinois Rivers and Mr. and Mrs. Teel and their two small children landed at the town of Erie, which was located in this county between Frederick and Beardstown. -- In 1835 Mr. Teel removed to the territory of Iowa and settled near Ft. Madison. That section of the country was then thickly populated with Indians under the leadership of Black Hawk and Keokuk. They were frequent visitors at the Teel home, as the spirit of strife with the white man, which in a few years led to their extermination, was then at a low ebb. Mrs. Teel's brother, Wm. Matthews, a tailor by trade, assisted by his sister, made the broadcloth coat worn by Chief Keokuk when he went on his famous peace mission to Washington. -- In 1832 Mrs. Teel joined the Presbyterian Church at Florence, Pa. and remained a faithful member to the end of her life. -- After returning to Rushville from Iowa Mr. Teel erected a cabin on the lots just east of Washington School building and resided there until 1845, when he purchased a quarter section of land in Sect. 16 Rushville Twp., which belonged to his wife at the time of her death. Here she lived until last winter when her house was destroyed by fire and she came to Rushville, where she has since made her home with her son, Hon. James A. Teel -- On Sunday evening Mrs. Teel was in a happy mood, talked with friends who called and retired to a good night's rest. She commented on how soundly she had slept when she arose the next morning and took her place at the breakfast table. She had taken but little food when she suddenly exclaimed, "My breath!" and fell forward--dead. -- Mrs. Teel was the mother of seven children, six of whom survive. They are James A, Teel and Mrs. Wm. Woods, of this city; Henry G. Teel and E. C. Teel, who reside a few miles north of the city; Mrs. Wm. Carty of Maysville, Arkansas, and Wm. Teel of Cherokee county, Kansas -- Funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church yesterday at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Dr. Wo[?] Werth; and a large number of friends of the family followed the remains to their last resting place in our beautiful cemetery.

GENEALOGY-BIRTH-SIBLINGS-MARRIAGE-SPOUSE-CHILDREN-HISTORY: BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW OF CASS, SCHUYLER AND BROWN COUNTIES, ILLINOIS; 1892; p 185-186; Schuyler County Historical Museum, Rushville IL; NOTE: James A. Teel - pioneer of Schuyler county, and one of the most successful farmers and stock-raisers of the State of Illinois, was born in Washington county, Pennsylvania, July 19, 1830. - James A. Teel was four years of age when his parents came to Schuyler county to reside...He attended the pioneer schools of Schuyler county...James A. resided with his parents until he was nineteen, and then, in 1849, he emigrated to California, joining the great throng that pressed to the gold fields of that State; he was one of a company of sixty who made the journey overland with ox teams, walking the entire distance. He arrived at Biddle's Bar out of funds; he soon found employment in the mines, and worked two days and a half at $9 per day; he then began mining on his own account, and remained there until 1851, when he returned to his home via the Nicaragua route and New York. In 1853 he made another trip across the plains, spent a few months in the golden State, and returned by way of the Isthmus. He engaged in farming in Rushville township, and soon turned his attention to the breeding of fine cattle. In 1856 he located on a farm which he still owns on section 2, Rushville township; this tract consists of 570 acres, and is improved with good substantial buildings; Mr. Teel lived there until March, 1891, when he removed to the farm where he now resides, one mile north of the courthouse; he owns nearly 1,200 acres of land, all in Rushville and Buena Vista townships. - He was married July 20, 1856, to Miss Elizabeth Smith... - In early days Mr. Teel belonged to the Whig party, but for many years past has affiliated with the Democratic party. He has served as collector of Rushville township, and has been a member of the county Board of Supervisors. He is a stock-holder in the Schuyler County Agricultural Society, and has made an exhibit at the second fair held in the county, receiving two silver spoons as premiums; his herd of short-horns has been seen at many county fairs in Illinois since that time, and has been awarded sweep-stakes and other prizes on different occasions. Mr. Teel is a stock-holder in the Schuyler Hotel Company, and also in the Bank of Schuyler County.

GENEALOGY-BIRTH-DEATH-MARRIAGE-SPOUSE-CHILDREN-HISTORY: HISTORY OF SCHUYLER COUNTY; 1908; p 942; Schuyler County Historical Museum, Rushville IL; NOTE: James A. Teel - James Alexander Teel was born in Washington County, Pa., July 19, 1830... - Three years old when his father arrived in Schuyler County, James A. Teel had meager educational or other advantages, but he had the pioneering instinct of his sire deeply implanted in his nature, with the purpose and determination to make his dreams come true...an outdoor man, an adventurer...went to the California gold fields twice... - Farming rather than mining was his life-work, and when again on the old place in Schuyler County, he devoted practically all his time and the rest of his life to this pursuit. He engaged extensively in general farming and stock-raising, attaining to special prominence as a Short-horn cattle breeder, in which he first became interested before the Civil War. For a number of years he was President of the Schuyler County Farmers' Institute, and took a keen interest in its affairs. With the founding of the Bank of Schuyler in 1890, he became one of the stock-holders, and later was elected Vice-President of that institution. On his death, October 22, 1902, at the age of seventy-two years, he was the owner of 1,200 acres of farm land, besides various town properties in Rushville. Illness somewhat changed the current of the later years of his life, but he bore all physical trials with rare patience, and applied that fine philosophy which had made light of many obstacles and helped him over many rough places in his career. - In 1856 Mr. Teel married Elizabeth Smith. - A stanch Democrat in politics, he was Supervisor of his township several terms, and in 1894 was elected to the State Legislature, his representation of the people reflecting his broad sense of justice, his intolerance of fraud and deception, and his fearlessness in insisting upon fair and above-board legislation.
