My grandfather, John S. Teeter, poses with one of his five sisters,
era unknown. John was born in Jacksonville, FL where he became a marine
engineer. He later moved to Maryland, where he purchased and named
Willow Brook, the family homestead, near Taneytown, MD. John assembled
several farms encompassing nearly 1,000 acres and formed John S. Teeter
& Sons, a prominent quarrying and road construction company. The
thoroughfare traversing these farms was renamed Teeter Road. Dad’s
mother, Margaret, or ‘Nana’ as we called her, raised 8 children
and several orphans. She was a revered community volunteer with a
strong interest in social issues. John died of stomach cancer in 1946
when his youngest son, Fred, was 16. Nana’s death in 1957, at
71, launched the sale of Willow Brook and the John S. Teeter Sons
Company. |

MD and Littlestown, PA. My sister Becky and I lived there for one
year, in 1956-57, before the estate was sold. |
