Edward Oliver Teall was the oldest of four sons born to Henry Dwight and Lena Teall. His next younger brother, Sanford, died of injuries he received from playing with a knife and was buried in LaGrange, Ill.
The family moved to San Francisco, California in 1900 so that Henry could work for the Santa Fe railroad. They settled in San Mateo in an area called"The Homestead" on 1st Ave near El Camino.
Edward became a maritime engineer and spent World War I as a steamship inspector. He married Estelle Grace Edwards before the Volstead Act went into effect. The ceremony was only slightly marred by a lodge brother of Edward's, who had been celebrating the coming of Prohibition rather heavily and who was under the impression that he was attending a Masonic funeral, intoning, "So mote it be" at suitable occasions. They lived in San Francisco for several years. Edward's activities were curtailed by Parkinson's disease which forced him to quit his maritime engineering work. He ran a marine machine shop for several years after that. They moved to Los Gatos in the 1930s. Estelle taught sixth grade at Los Gatos Elementary School.
