J.A. Teskey
A man whose life story is inseparably entwined with the history of Ramsay passed to his eternal reward early Tuesday morning when Mr J. A. Teskey answered the call of his Creator. Mr Teskey had been in rather poor health for some years but was not taken seriously ill until some three weeks ago. John Adam Teskey was born at Appleton in 1837 a son of the late Robert Teskey, who was one of the pioneer settlers of Ramsay. Upon his father's death he succeeded to his business interests and for many years was identified with the woolen and agricultural interests of Appleton. In this work his brother Rufus was associated with him. Some years ago he sold out his woolen business to Mr Caldwell and about one year ago, having disposed of his farm to Mr Spiers, moved to Almonte where he has since resided. He is survived by his wife (formerly Miss Giles of Brockville) one son, Albert E., in Winnipeg, and one daughter, Mrs W. West, Almonte. Two brothers ? Rufus of Toronto, and R.A. of Alberta ? and three sisters ? Mrs Bredin of Winnipeg, Mrs (Dr) Giles and Mrs Deacon of Brockville. In politics Mr Teskey was a consistent supporter of the Conservative party, and was a strength to his party in many campaigns. In religion he was a Methodist, and was a staunch supporter of temperance and moral reform. Deceases carried to the tomb the accumulated respect of many years of public and private citizenship.
John married Sarah Giles on 22 Sep 1863 in Leeds and Grenville United Counties, Ontario, Canada. Sarah (daughter of William Godkin Giles and Sarah Richards) was born on 10 Apr 1833 in Athens, Leeds and Grenville United Counties, Ontario, Canada; died on 20 Apr 1909 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
