PASSES AWAY
Former Local Man And Vete-
ran Hunter Expires at
South Plainfield.
GRANDSON is INJURED

Plainfeld, Oct. 13:-From the
effects of a fall two weeks &
George Teeple died early yesterday
morning at his home in South Plain
field, in his eighty-fifth year. No
bones were broken by the fall, but 1t
was feared at the time that owing to
his advanced years the shock would
prove fatal.
1t is doubtful IL there is any one
in this section who carried age as
lightly as did Mr.. Teeple. He was
an ardent hunter and disciple OF
1zaak Walton. Knowing every good
fishing place and hunting ground in
the State, he was often sought by
lovers of these two sports for a good
place to go or to take them along
with him on one of his frequent
trips.
All who were fortunate enough to
accompany him on any of these trips
came home impressed with the viz
tality of the man as well as his abil-
ity as angler or hunter. Through
these trips he became widely ac-
quainted and wherever these sports
are mentioned his name is usually
coupled with them.
Mr.. Teeple was born within a short
distance of the house in which he
died. In his younger days he was a
ship builder at Perth Amboy Later
he ran an oyster sloop from New
York to Chesapeake Bay. The hunt
ing fever was strong on him even
then, and he would often miss a tide
or two for the sake of going duck
shooting or fishing.
In the %fifties, when shipbuilding
and coast navigation was undergoing
the change from sailing vessels to
steam craft he hunted ducks along.
Long Island between trips and sold
them at Washington market In New
York. His record for one days
shooting was sos. He made 1t in
1854. He has often taken 900 rab-
bits, as many gray squirrels, and
when shooting in New Jersey was
real shooting sixty quail or woodcoek
in a day was nothing to brag about.
His record for fishing was 58S weak
fish in one day. His memory of
these good old days was remarkably
keen.
Mr.. Teeple has been making his
home with his daughter, Mrs. Melvin
B. Teeple, since 1900, when his{wife
died. He was born In New Market
anu tlfeu LuGI6 uullt he WIS I~GlIt>A
five years old, when he went to Perth
Amboy and engaged in shipbuilding.
He lived there until the death of his
wife. 4
Surviving are four other daughters
besides the. one with whom he made
his. home. They are Mrs. Thomas
Foster and Mrs. George Mulfison, OF
Perth Amboy; Mrs. John I. Smith, of
Princeton Junction, and Mrs. N. l..
Palmer, of Hartford, Conn. There
are also a number of grandchildren.
The funeral will be held from the
South Plainfeld Baptist church at
$40 o'clock Saturday morning and
the body will be taken to Perth AM
boy for interment. 1t will arrive
there on the 1880 O'Clock train and
be taken to Alpine cemetery.
