THEODORE TESKE

Theodore Frederick Teske came to Eureka as a small child from Hague, North
Dakota, where he was born on September 28, 1904. His parents, Jacob and Lousia
(nee Pfeiffer), were both born in Bergdorf, Russia. Theodore's father, Jacob,
worked as a railroad laborer for the Chicago Milwaukee, until 1907, when he
became the railroad section foreman at Eureka.

Germany, where they had lived for about three years. The Riekers lived and
worked with the John Wittmayer family for several years. After living at
several other farms, they moved to Hillsview.

Here the young Lydia met Theodore, who was already the railroad section foreman
there. He was a boarder at the Rieker home until a railroad bunkhouse was
erected. He still took his meals with the Riekers, while courting Lydia. After
their marriage, the young couple lived in Hillsview until 1936, when they moved
to Eureka. Here Theodore became the railroad section foreman at the retirement
of his father, Jacob.
