John M. Teagarden
At Golden City, Mo. Feb. 15, of fever, John M. Teagarden, aged 60, formerly from Marshall county.

Local Items - The report comes to Mr. Adam P. Brown, a brother-in-law, of the death of John M. Teagarden, which took place at Golden City, Mo., on February 15. Mr. Teagarden has a host of friends who will hear this sad news with a pang of keen regret. Mr. Teagarden located in Missouri some years ago, and his children, most of them married, were settled about him. He has a fine tract of land, and all the family, with his usual stir, thrift and good management, were doing well. At the time of this death he had an office at Golden City, and was a land agent, doing a good business.
We sympathize with the family in their great loss.
