From an article about the Church Street Historical District in Richfield Springs in Otsego County near the border with Herkimer County: "The documentation of Sylvan Street preserves an important record of African-American history in Richfield Springs and, in particular, recalls the history of the Teabout family, who owned several properties at the north end of the street. In general, African-Americans had a somewhat more visible and better documented presence in Richfield Springs than in other nearby towns, largely due to the hotel and resort industry. Like many others, Jerome Teabout, an African-American, came to Richfield Springs in 1864 to work in the hotels. Teabout was accompanied by his wife, Katherine Vedder Teabout (a French-Canadian Indian). In 1867, the Teabouts purchased a plot of land on the east side of Sylvan Street and built a house, apparently shown on the 1868 atlas. This building, a small, one and one-half story wood-framed residence with a full-width porch, was extant until only a few years ago. Some time later, a second Teabout residence was constructed on an adjacent lot (also no longer extant). The Teabouts were long-time residents of Richfield Springs and of Sylvan Street. Nearly all of their six children have well-documented places in the community's history.
The oldest son, William (Will) was born in 1867. He was an excellent machinist and built the metal-clad machine shop at the corner of Hyde and Sylvan streets, where he practiced his trade for many years. In the 1920s or 30s, Will became involved in the automobile business. The manufacturer sent Buick parts to him by rail and he assembled the cars in his shop. In 1924, he built the residence at 31 Sylvan Street, across the road and toward the north, also included in the Church Street Historic District.
The second son, Richard (Dick) was the most popular and well-known of the Teabouts. He began his career as a waiter in one of the popular resort hotels. His talents as a cook and chef and the excellent help of his wife Bessie, made him a much sought after caterer in the community. During the "off-season," Teabout often traveled with hotel owners, cooking for them in more temperate climates. When they were in town, Dick and Bessie Teabout catered for the local elite. Often parties were given on the second floor of Will's machine shop for residents returning from an afternoon of skiing. Dick and Bessie had no children; however, Bessie lived to be 104 and died in "The Meadows," the county facility.
Four daughters were also born to Jerome and Katherine Teabout. Annie, born 1877, lived only to the age of 23. Christabelle (Belle) was a housekeeper to the Reeds and a nanny to Daisy Reed (the long-time librarian in Richfield Springs). The Reeds were residents of Church Street. Alberta Marie Teabout was born in 1883 and Stella Marie in 1885; both were seamstresses."
