Henry Moore Teller
Henry Moore Teller (1830-1914) was born in Granger, New York to John and Charlotte Moore Teller in 1830. Teller worked as a teacher to earn money to put himself through law school. He moved to Illinois and practiced law for three years. He helped establish the Republican Party in Illinois and attended the Republican Conven-tion of 1860 that nominated Abraham Lincoln for the Republican Party presidential candidate. Teller moved to Central City, Colorado in 1861. He married Harriet Bruce and had a daughter (Emma) and two sons. Teller served as one of the first U.S. Senators from Colorado. He served from 1876 to 1882, when he was appointed the U.S. Secretary of the Interior under President Chester Arthur. He served as Secretary of the Interior until 1885, when he returned to being Colorado Senator. Teller served as U,S, Senator for Colorado until 1909. He switched parties to the Silver Republicans then to the Democrats during his tenure in office. Teller was a contro-versial senator since he supported use of sil-ver to back U.S. currency and for his dealings with the Ute Indians. Teller died in Denver in 1914. Teller County was named for Henry Moore Teller.
His daughter Emma Teller Tyler attended Wellesley College before marrying Dr. George Tyler in Washington D.C. The Tyler's made their home in Denver Colorado. Emma was an early member of the Territorial Daughters of Colorado. Dr. Tyler was instrumental in im-proving the Department of Health for the State of Colorado.
