taken with hemorrhage and died in a
few minutes.
Mr. Teabo was quiet and unobtrusive
citizen, but no man i'll any of the walks of

the highest principles of duty, than he.
For 81 years he had been employed by the
firm of Baker & Bros, and lately by Baker

ever ready for daty, and constantly at his
post, Scarcely ever have we known a
man to continue for so long time at one

a mark of genuine worth and fidelity tc
