29 Aug 1902, The Times
Another obit was in the 27 Aug 1902 issue of the Lexington Gazette.

Another unnamed paper carried this per usgwarchives under "BIBLE RECORDS, Rockbridge County, VA -- "M" Surnames," submitted by Angela M. Ruley in about 1997, it was submitted to Washington and Lee University's Leyburn Library. It adds a small amount of additional data. "After a brief period of confinement to his bed, caused by a stroke of paralysis, Bro. J. P. S. Teaford ended a most successful career of Christian usefulness and entered upon that rest that remaineth for the people of God on the morning of August 27, 1902. He was a devoted member and consecrated elder of Bethany Lutheran church, Rockbridge county, Va. On account of his having been crippled by the effects of eheumatism for a number of years, he was unable to perform [ ] labor consequently he was a great reader. The greater part of his time, however, was devoted to the study of his Bible and Lutheran literature. He was therefore, throughly informed concerning the principles and progress of our Lutheran Zion, being at all times ready to give a reason for the hope that was in him. He was always willing, moreover, to give liberally of his means for the promotion of the cause so near to his heart, and was, therefore, from a practical as well as from a professional standpoint a tower of strength in his own congregation. Surely in his departure we sustain a great loss, yet in the midst of our sorrow we bow in humble submission to the gracious will of Him who doeth all things well, grateful for the fellowship that we have enjoyed with such a godly life. Is there not a promise to us in the words, "And their works do follow them" Is there nor great consolation for us in the thought that whilst he is removed from our midst, that removal means a calm and blissful rest to him from all the pains and labors of earthly pilgrimage, and yet the works do follow them." Workmen die, but the goes on." and we, the surviving comrades of a departed brother, as we combine our efforts to prosecute the work so dear to him, while working with us, will cherish the fondest recollections of his conserated devotion. May those memories ever be to each of us even greater incentives to service than was his counsel during his presence. Our desceased brother leaves two daughters, Mrs. L. L. Alphin and Mrs. Daniel Welch, to mourn his departure as well as a host of sorrowing relatives and friends, as was attested by the large concourse of people that followed his remains to their resting place. May God mercifully sustain them and all his children through the end. J. W. S."
