"Graham Leader" (TX), May 1, 1913, obituaries: Mrs. Mary Teal, 92 years old, and who lived with her daughter, Mrs. R.A. Stephens, on Flint Creek, died last Friday at 3 o'clock. She requested to be buried by the side of a deceased sister in Comanche county and her body was embalmed and shipped from Graham Saturday last. The corpse was accompanied by her grandsons, W. E. and M. M. Stephens. Mrs. Teal was a consistent member of the Baptist church. She was strong for one of her age and she held on to the bright prospect of rest beyond. As old age had done its work on her body it could not put out the light of the soul and as the stars fade away in the morning yet forever remain, so the saint of God rests from her labors and her works follow her. Mrs. R. A. Stephens, with whom she lived was her only living child. Her husband, Mr. Teal, was killed in the war and she never married again. Peace be to her ashes, and may eternal happiness be her final reward.
Note: Mary actually died in Archer Co., TX, but her death certificate is on file with Comanche Co., TX.
