The father was reared in Canada, and, in his early years, took part in the Canadian Rebellion of 1837, and on this account was compelled to seek refuge in the United States. For a time he worked on the old Illinois and Michigan Canal, then in process of construction, and later secured employment at the milling trade, in Newburg, Rockford and elsewhere in Illinois. He married at Newburg, Mary A. Gleason, daughter of one of the pioneers of that region, and having received a full pardon for his participation in the rebellion, he went back to Canada to care for his father and mother. After a residence in Canada of twelve years, he returned to Illinois ana established his home at Woodstock, where the son, Lester Teeple, received his education in the public schools, and in Todd's Academy. Lester Teeple engaged in the lumber and coal trade in Marengo, Ill., in 1874, and continued this business there and at other points for several years. In 1881 he came to Dundee Township, Kane County, and entered into the business of dairy-farming and breeding thoroughbred stock, which he continued until 1903. The latter year he turned his attention to stock-feeding, in which he is now largely engaged.
