Portland Observer, 28 Jun 1923

Funeral of E. C. Teachout Held Saturday

Deceased Never Regained Consciousness After Stricken With Apoplexy

The funeral of Elijah C. Teachout, whose death occurred last Tuesday after a 
stroke of apoplexy, was held at the home of his son, George, Saturday 
afternoon.  Rev. J. H. Bancroft officiated at the funeral.  Burial was made in 
the Portland cemetery.

Mr. Teachout was born at Port Barnes, New York, November 2, 1848, and came to 
Michigan with his parents when he was 16 years of age, settling near Albion.  
In 1869 he was united in marriage to Miss Frances Pierce of Orange, living in 
this vicinity for several years, then moving to Albion where they lived for 
about 18 years.  About 12 years ago they moved back to Orange where they have 
since resided.

Mr. and Mrs. Teachout, for the past two years, have resided in the tenant house 
on the A. D. Northrup farm, where Mr. Teachout has been helping with the farm 
work.  He had been working just prior to his death and had come into the house 
to rest, lying down on the couch for that purpose.  A little later Mrs. 
Teachout who was working in the kitchen, heard a noise in the living room and 
upon entering, found Mr. Teachout lying unconscious on the floor.  She 
immediately summoned Mr. Northrup for help and called a doctor, but he died 
shortly afterwards, never regaining consciousness.

Besides the widow he is survived by two sons, George of Portland, and Claude of 
Lansing.
