On yesterday (Friday) morning, Mr. HENRY TEACHEM, a native of Germany, but for the last fifty years a resident of this city, in the 75th year of his age.
His funeral will take place on Sunday afternoon, at half past two o'clock, from his late residence near Bladens's wharf to which his friends and those of the family are respectfully invited.
Henry came to DC in 1795 and it is written (in an obituary) that the Teitjen/Teachem name is associated with those that "built" DC. Henry was the superintendent of the Law Sugar Refinery. His house was described in the 1800's as one of the oldest in DC. It stood at third and M streets SE DC.

Henry Teitjin came here from Bremen, Germany, in 1795, and established a sugar refinery on the corner of New Jersey avenue and N street. This was the first and only sugar refinery ever established in this section of the country. Shortly afterward he met the beautiful Miss Susanne Carter, an acknowledged belle. As Miss Carter was a member of one of the most prominent families in the south and Mr. Teitjin but a modest well-to-do German, there were great difficulties to the courtship which he began, but Miss Carter became Mrs. Teitjin in 1798. Mr. Teitjin enlisted in the war of 1812, and Mrs. Teitjin's brother, Capt. John Carter, also made a name for himself at that time. Mr. and Mrs. Teitjin had eight children.
