The Family of Virgil and Amy Teach in 1937
The house on the right is the old Bass House and where most of us kids were born.
Standing, Left to Right is: Victor Teach (my older brother); Virgil Teach (my father); Amy Teach (my mother) and Virginia Teach (my sister).
Sitting on the chairs in the center is Grace Teach (my grandmother) and Guy Victor Teach (my grandfather).
Sitting in the foreground are: Isvida Teach (my younger sister) and last is Jerry Teach (me).
My grandfather, Guy Victor Teach (b. 8 July 1876) was the last Sooline Station Agent at Curtiss, Clark Co., Wisconsin until the tracks were removed. We had a wonderful life in Curtiss, we moved to Chicago in 1942, but my grandfather remained as the Station Agent in Withee, Wisconsin until he retired and moved to Conrath, Wisconsin which is near Ladysmith. It is they that they were laid to rest, as was my father, Virgil. My mother, Amy Teach, is buried in Concord, California. My brother, Victory Teach was a World War II Veteran who served in the Marine Corp at Sipan in the South Pacific and was laid to rest in the Las Vegas Military Cemetery.
| We believe my maternal grandmother, Alice Worden Smith is pictured above on the left front. She was born in Thorp, Wisconsin, 1875 and married Edward Smith in 1893 at Greenwood, Wisconsin. Edward was born in 1870. Both of them were laid to rest in the Withee Riverside Cemetery. They had 9 Children, 5 boys and 4 girls. I don't know who the other ladies are in the photo, but they were having a great card game and I suspect the way they are dressed, they may have told their husbands they went shopping. I believe this picture was taken near Withee, Wisconsin since that is where my Smith family started out. |
