OBITUARY ---------------MRS. PERMELIA TEAGUE
Redwood City Democrat
January 16, 1908
One of the oldest residents of San Mateo County passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. George Rice, Friday, after an illness of several weeks. Mrs. Teague was born at Sprìngficld, Missouri 86 years, 7 months and ten days ago and grew to womanhood there. She married Andrew Teague and settled on a farm near Springfield where they remained for some time. The lure of gold however drew them to California and in 1853 they set their faces toward the land of the setting sun and with several ox teams set out with their little family.
Immediately after reaching this county, which was in the late 1853, Mrs. Teague settled in Woodside and resided there until late in the '60's. When Mr. Teague was elected Justice of the Peace for this township, the family moved to Redwood City where she has ever since resided. Judge Teague passed away twenty five years ago and since that time “Grandma” as she was familiarly called, has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. George H. Rice.
Thc deceased was ever an energetic woman and was a good neighbor and friend. She was very active in her church work and was for many years one of the most faithful members of the local Congregational Church. She is survived by the following daughters: Mrs. Sarah A Wentworth, Mrs. George Rice, and Mrs. Ott Durham, by 13 grandchildren and by 14 great grandchildren. The funeral took place Sunday from the Congregational Church and was attended by many friends. Rev. H. E. Jewett of Oakland was present and delivered the eulogy recounting the years while he was pastor of the church of which Mrs. Teague was a stand-fast member. The interment was in Union Cemetery.
