Chapter 4

Elizabeth Barber Stiles

Elizabeth Barber, the daughter of George and Margaret Watkins Barber, was born about 1779 in Wilkes County, Georgia.

Elizabeth Barber married Joseph Gill Stiles, 13 March 1799, in Oglethorpe County, Georgia. Joseph Gill Stiles was born in Chesterfield County, Virginia ca. 1779, the son of John Stiles, Revolutionary soldier from Virginia and his wife Agnes Franklin.

Joseph and Elizabeth Stiles had four daughters42 born to them before Elizabeth died in 1805, at the age of 25. She is buried at the side of her husband in Jones County, Georgia. (her tombstone says she was 25 when she died. My book and an earlier book published by the DAR incorrectly stated that she was 35 when she died)

                                was raised by Robert and Frankie.

Mr Fountain was the son of Odis and Lora Dell (Teel) Fountain. He attended the Martinsville schools, and moved to Nacogdoches from Orange in 1989. He served our country in the U.S. Navy during the Korean Conflict, and was honorably discharged in 1958. On October 3, 1962, Mr Fountain married Georgia Francis "Frankie" Freeland in Nacogdoches. He was self-employed in air conditioning and refrigeration maintenance, from which he retired. In his leisure time, Mr Fountain enjoyed gardening and playing all kinds of games, although talking with friends was his favorite activity. He was a very loving, caring man who did not mind helping those who needed his help. Family was very important to him, especially his grandchildren. Mr Fountain will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

Mr Fountain died Friday in Covington. Born April 22, 1939 in San Augustine County, Mr Fountain formerly lived in Nacogdcohes and had been a resident of Covington the last three months. He was a trucker.

The relatives are not certain that Elbert married Jeanette Lowrimore. But she is the one that provided the information for the death certificate. Elbert was murdered in a domestic quarrel with his girlfriend. Her brother hit him with a jack tool in the back of the head on 2 Feb 1973. Was Jeanette his girlfriend who caused his death, and then gave the info for his death certificate?

Crockett Courier: December 8, 1921
Mrs. R. P. Teal Dead
It is with deep regret that the Courier learns of the death of Mrs. R. P. Teal, which occurred at the family home in Pennington on November 23. Mrs Teal, who was born in Alabama, but who had lived in Pennington for more than 30 years, was 70 years of age. She was a consecrated member of the Baptist church and the funeral services were conducted by the Baptist minister from Groveton. Interment was in the Pennington cemetery. Left to mourn her death are the husband, Mr R.P. Teal, and three daughters, who have the deepest sympathy of a large community.

Crockett Courier: October 22, 1925
Bob Teal Dead
Mr. R. P. Teal, one of Houston county's oldest and best citizens, died at his home near Pennington Friday night about 8 o'clock. Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon, and burial was in the Penningthon cemetery. The Masonic lodge, of which he was a member, had charge of the services.
Mr. Teal had been a citizen of Houston county for many years, being engaged in farming, and was unusually successful in his occupation. He was a man of fine character and ideals and earned the friendship and respect of all who knew him. He always led a Christian life and was a member of the Methodist church. He leaves several children, besides other relatives, to mourn his loss. His community suffered an irreparable loss in his passing.
The Courier joins in extending sympathy to the bereaved relatives.

The Courier has ascertained the following facts regarding the life of Mr R. P. Teal, since writing the notice of his death. Robert Porter Teal was born in Barber county, Georgia in 1856, being 69 years of age at his death. He came to Texas and located at Pennington in 1886. He was married to Martha Vickers December 15 1879. Four children were born to them: one son, who died in childhood, and three daughters. The daughters, all of whom are living, are Mrs. W. B. Bagwell, Mrs. R. H. Bates and Miss Florence Teal.
