Alpha Teats, a farmer of Industry township, was born March 3, 1831, in Preston county, West
Virginia. His parents were Adam and Elizabeth (Moser) Teats, who were likewise natives of West
Virginia. His father was born in 1790, and his mother July 13, 1793. Their marriage occurred in
1813, and the former died in 1865, the latter in 1869. Alpha was brought up on a farm and received
his education as opportunity offered in the common schools, working hard during the summer months on
the farm. He remained with his parents, engaged in the various duties incident to farm life, until
22 years old, and then worked out by the month for about three years. He then came west, and first
lived with Nathaniel Scott, in Chalmers township, of this county, about two years, working by the
month. Subsequently he worked for other parties until 1860. Upon the 6th day of March, of that year,
he was married to Mary Vail, daughter of John Vail, of Industry township. By that union were five
children—Lucinda, born August 1, 1861; Adaline, born July 16, 1864; Nancy L., born September
24,
1865; John E., born January 23, 1868, and died August 21, 1869, and Bertha S., born January 18,
1877. Mr. Teats is now engaged in general farming, and owns a farm on section 8, Industry township,
which is fairly well improved. Himself and wife are members of the Christian church. Politically, he
has always been a democrat.
