MRS. ELISABETH TEEL, a representative of one of the old and firmly established families of Crawford county, was born in Liberty township, in this county, on July 20, 1829. She was a daughter of Horatio and Nancy (Link) Markley. Horatio Markley, distinguished as one of the most powerful men, physically, in Crawford county, came here from his home in Somerset county, Pennsylvania, where he was born in 1804, and entered a fractional quarter section of land (one hundred and forty-four acres0 in Liberty township, this now being the home and property of the subject of this sketch. He erected a log cabin on his land and spent his life here, being very prosperous and able to assist his children very materially. His death was in 1880, at the age of seventy-six. He was one of the leaders in the English Lutheran church and for many years prior to his death no needy person ever applied in vain to him for assistance. Far and wide his charities extended and he was beloved by all who knew him.
Adam Link, the maternal grandfather of Mrs. Teel was also a remarkable man, living to the age of one hundred and two years, nine months and twenty-seven days, and his death occurring in the house where our subject now lives, in 1864. His father, a veteran of the Revolutionary war, owned six hundred acres of land on the present site of Wheeling, and was killed by the Indians.
Mrs. Teel was one of four children in her parents' family, the three survivors being: John, of Morrow county; Elisabeth, of this sketch, and Mathias, of Wyandot county, this state. She grew up at her parental home, acquiring an education in the pioneer schools, and on Sept. 17, 1844, was united in marriage with Mr. George W. Teel, who during his life was one of the energetic and successful business men of Crawford county.
