He sold the NE corner of his farm to be used for a cemetery & churchyard in 1818 to serve the community. He received £2 10 shillings as payment. The agreement said the land was "forever for the proper use of a place to bury the dead for them & as many of the inhabitants of Trafalgar Township lying between 12 & 16 mile Creeks as many think proper to join them & also for a meeting house & a School House should the same at any time be required." The cemetery plots were to be16 feet square & one of these lots were assigned to each family. For Charles Frederick Teetzel & his heirs there was to be a tract of land one square rod in size for a burial plot to be protected forever.
A log church was built on the front of the cemetery in 1812 to serve the Episcopal Methodist congregation of Laurence Hager. In 1851 a frame church was built beside the log church & it became the home of the Wesleyan Methodist Congregation. In 1867, a new modern church was built across the road for the Episcopal Methodists, but many still chose to worship at the old building. The log church was eventually used as a stable for some years. This was 17 years before the many Methodists united to become the United Church of Canada.
After his wife, Mary Tufford, died of consumption in 1856, Charles Frederick Teetzel stayed on his farm for 6 months. Ill health caused him to move to Milton for medical care. He died shortly after. His son, Mathias Hager, purchased land in St. Joseph's, Michigan & moved there about this time.
