Family Bible that June Teeter has (Lorraine Lakey Dau.)
The relationship of this Jacob is not known or proven to the other Teeter, Burger families, although it would be a foregone conclusion that they are tied in closely about the generation of Abraham, possibly a grandson, or perhaps Abraham was an Uncle to this family. There is, thus far, an incomplete accounting for the children of this family.
Thought that Jacob's father was a brother to Abraham Teeter, perhaps named Johanna Teeter.
I had her buried and died in Polo, Ogle Co., Ill. but we found her stone in the Pine Creek Brethern Cem. with the rest of the families. Died May 20, 1876, Aged 76 years. Wife of Jacob Teeter. The same stone has the name of her mother on top, Mary, wife of Daniel Whetstone, died Sep. 1854, aged 54.

Birdsley
Mrs. Ellen Frances Birdsley died at the family residence in this city on
Friday, October 31, at the age of 67 years, 6 months and 23 days.
The funeral was held from the Brethren church at 1:00 o'clock p.m. on
Monday. Interment in Silver Creek Cem.
Ellen Frances Teeter was born at Pittsburg, Penn. on April 8th, 1846.
When she was 4 years of age her parents moved to Dixon, Ill. She was married
to Simon Q. Birdsley on October 31st, 1862 at Dixon. Mr. and Mrs. Birdsley
lived in Illinois for a short time after their marriage and then moved to Iowa, where they lived until 1870. Then came to Nebraska in the fall of that year and located on a farm 7 miles north of Falls City, where they have since lived.
The death of Mrs. Birdsley came on the fifty-first anniversary of her
marriage. She had been ill for a long time prior to her death.
To mourn the death of this devoted wife, loving mother and sister, she
leaves husband, three brothers, Jacob Teeter of South Omaha, John Teeter, Dixon Ill. and Levi Teeter state of Washington three sisters, Mrs. Samuel Forney, Spokane, Washington. Mrs. Jennie Cox, Dixon, Ill., Mrs. Johnathan Stump, Falls City. There are seven children, Charles D. Birdsley of Washington, Kansas, Mrs. Lucy Billups, Marlow, Oklahoma, and Jacob L. Birdsley of Shubert, Neb. John Quincey and Asa Edward, the youngest sons, preceded the mother to the grave. Twenty grand children also survive her.
Mrs. Birdsley was a member of the Brethren church and lived a Christian
life and one devoted to her family. She was a pioneer in Richardson county and did her share as wife and mother in the great development of this section. The high esteem in which she was held was attested by the large attendance at her funeral held yesterday, which was the largest held from the Brethren church for a number of years. The funeral sermon was delivered by Rev. Spacht. The procession that followed the remains to Silver Creek Cemetery four miles north of town was a long one.

John Quincy, accidently shot himself in the arm. The doctor didn't get the wound cleaned out and left pieces of his overcoat in the wound, and when he finally found the pieces, it was too late, blood-poisoning had already set in and he died of lock-jaw.
See Silver Creek Cem. record in the Falls City Public Libray, also head stone in the Cemetery.
See obituary of Ellen Francis Teeter Birdsley, Levi Family moved to Wash.
State.See letter of Virgil Corder, he said they had a cousin, dau. of Levi, who
was living next door to them in Bellingham, Washington in 1970.Dear Goldie: (Teeter, m. Fred Hiatt, living in Omaha, Neb. and d. abt.
1990. She kept in touch with all the families, Virgil and Winnie came to visit on occations, grandma was happy to have the family information)
We still marvel at it, being such a small world. Imagine finding these
people right here in Bellingham being related and we have attended church with them for years.
Levi married Hattie Gore and their children were Illa, (living in or near
Tacoma Washington), Harry in California, Luttie (Mrs Donnelley living in
Seattle, Washington) This is the one we have known so long. (In fact Levi
lived with them in Spokane, Washington) La Veta, don't know where she lives. They also had an Ora Dee who died in infancy.
We have a chart giving the names of the children of Jacob William and
Ellen Poe Teeter. Also shows the father and mother of Jacob William. They
were Jacob Teeter and Catherine Whetstone. Will send copies if you want one.
We know that Ellen Poe Teeter died in 1891 and is buried at the Pine Creek Cemetery. Near Mt. Morris, Ill. Still can't find father Great Grand father Jacob William is buried or when died. Will write more later
Love Winnie
Dear Ones:
Well, I'll tell you one for RIPLEY's Believe it or Not.
When we were in Nebraska last fall searching for kin folks, we wondered
what became of the Forney Family (They had lived on the farm (next to Grandpa & Grandm Simon & Ellen Birdsley). She was Sabina (Married to Samuel Forney) and a sister to Ellen, Jacob (George's father) and all the others.
There were no markers for them in the cemetery where Simon, Ellen and
the others are buried.
The Sunday we went to Omaha to see Goldie she told us she thought the
Forney's moved to Spokane, Washington and gave us a small picture of Sabina
Forney, John W., Jacob (George's father) and Levi Teeter. (and Levi's wife
Hattie (Gore) Teeter.
They had all gotten together for a family reunion at Levi's daughter's
place in Spokane (the daughter of Levi and Hattie (Gore) Teeter is Luttie
Teeter Donnally and the picture was taken at her home (The Charles Donnally
home in Spokane, Washington).
Well, my dears, we know by now that this is a small, small world. We
have known this Mrs. Donnelley (Who now lives in Seattle) and her daughter,
Vilas (Donnelley) Markham, who lives just up the road from us right here in
Bellingham, but never did we know that Mrs. Donnelley is the daughter of Levi
and Hattie Teeter. Nor that Mrs. Markham is the great daughter, even tho we
have been to church functions many times with them ---- and Virgil has served
on the Church Board for years with Vilas' husband, Aaron Markham.
They had just returned from a trip to the Holy Land and had come to our
place for a little visit about the last of August.
We were so thrilled over their experiences on their trip and then Mrs.
Markham asked us how we were coming on "Our Family Tree".
We told her we had lost tract of some of the relatives but believed they
had moved out to Spokane (Followed by saying "Guess we will have to look on
the trailer and go in that direction and do some real searching". -)
When we mentioned the Forneys and Teeters, Vilas said "Oh, we have some
Forneys and Teeteers in our family. I had an Aunt Sabina Forney, and my
mother was a Teeter girl --- the daughter of Levi Teeter."
We could hardly believe our ears. The next day she called her mother in
Seattle and she came up, bringing pictures, clippings, etc. of that family get together a long time ago. (About 1925)
Vilas said she was there at the time the picture was taken. Mrs.
Donnelley (Luttie) has the same picture Goldie gave us. (Vilas was about 11
years old then).
Mrs. Donnelley gave us a chart of the whole Teeter family, Levi, Jacob,
Anna, John W., Martha, Lydia and several that died in infancy (Catherine,
Ephriam, Elizabeth, Sarah and a twin of Anna's). Anna married Jonathan Stump, you will remember: The chart shows Jacob W. Teeter and Ellen Poe Teeter were the parents of all of these children, and Jacob William's parents were Jacob Teeter (from Somerset County) and Catherine Whetstone (Davis) Teeter. Now look at the first chart we sent sometime ago and you will see this same Catherine Whetstone Davis Teeter, Jacob B. Teeter.
We also have gotten a picture of Ellen Poe Teeter. Probably can get one for you folks. Mrs. Donnelley has the negative. How much we would like to see you all. Goldie said Maude and family were in Omaha. How nice. Much love to all. Be sure to look at these two charts together. It will be easier to understand. Last known to live in Washington State, Jacob, Sabina, Levi and John were all together for a reunion about 1920-30, have a picture of them but have lost all contact with them.
Do not know where she was living as of 1970, see letter under Levi. Died of TB when about 35, in a sanatarium. Had gotten the flue following WWI. Born in 1890, died about 1925.
Ora lived only a few hours after birth.
Found in 1900 Census, Fall City, Richardson Co, Neb. List both parents born
in Penn. See notes under Jacob Teeter referring to the Stumps. Probably the
son of Elder Samuel Stump, who came from Ohio with his family.In the Cem. with the rest of the family is Samuel C. Stump and wife Sarah
McFadden Stump. 1825-3-1, 1890-7-05.
Also listed was Solomen G. Stump and Jewel Stump, Glen and Abbie Stump.
