Herbert W. Teale

Herbert Wallace Teale, son of Eugene and Martha Teale, was born Nov. 29.

1873, on a farm located about one mile north of the present town of Lamoni.

He passed away at 11:15 p. m., Sept, 4, 1960, at his home in Lamoni after a

long period of ill health.

On Dec. 14, 1893, Herbert Teale and Mary E. Spurrier were united in

marriage. To this union were born four children: Gladys, Ralph E., H.

Barton, and Charlot A. Teale. Mrs. Mary Teale passed away April 21, 1925.

In April 1929, Mr. Teale married Esmah Jones of Lamoni. Herb, as he was

commonly called, started in the harness business in Lamoni in 1892. For a

period of 68 years, until July 1960, he operated his harness, hardware and

implement business, most of that time here in Lamoni. He was a good

businessman - interested in doing quality work and in, giving good service

and he derived much pleasure from his work. Herb was interested in the

progress of Lamoni and he was a long-time member of the Lamoni Businessman's

club.

Herb was a member of the Masonic order and the Order of Eastern Star in

Lamoni. He was also a member of the Arch and Commandery. He enjoyed this

fraternal work and was a faithful member having served a number of years as

secretary of Fayette Lodge No. 571 in Lamoni.

Surviving are his wife Esmah, who patiently and lovingly cared for him

during his last illness; the four children, Gladys, now Mrs. L. S. Hebener

of Burns, Ore.; Ralph E. Teale of Omaha, Neb.; H. Barton Teale of Kansas

City, Mo.; and Charlot A., now Mrs. W. L. Nourse of Scottsdale. Ariz.; 10

grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. Also surviving is his only brother,

John Teale of St. Joseph, Mo., and a number of nieces and nephews.

Herb will be missed by his loved ones and his many friends, but after having

lived a good, long life, death came for him as a welcome release.

Masonic funeral services were conducted Wednesday by Kenneth Mitchell of

Garden Grove. Burial was in Rose Hill cemetery.
