There used to be a small town at Teterville, back in the twenties and thirties. My mother remembers going there and even has a picture of herself standing by a vintage Ford. It was taken in front of the grocery store in Teterville.
Although there is no store or much to see anymore, here's what you might find interesting about Teterville, Kansas.

- I worked on a cable tool unit,on the weekends, while in high school in Hamilton. Our crew plugged the very last wee on Teter Hill. While we were ripping pipe I carved my initials in Teter Rock.

- I was there before the rock! My family lived below the hill, my daddy, Clarence Mc Ghee worked for Phillips Pet. Co. The road used to wind around to the north side of the hill and then curve around and down the slope to the south before it straightened out heading east to the crossroad. North to the Nolar school and the Phillip's employees houses. On east to the Burkett oil leases and school district. South from the crossroad lead you to Eureka, KS. Enjoyed the history that came after we left the area when I was in the 8th grade in 1938. Gail Martin
