General Notes: Husband - Curtin Philip Steiner


He received his education in the common schools, but when no more than twelve years of age he began working for neigh­boring farmers during harvest, and when somewhat older was employed in the stone quarry. About the time of attaining his majority he worked for one year in a general store in New Stanton, after which he found employment as a locomotive fireman on the Pennsylvania Railway. This position he held four years, and at the end of that time was made engineer. In 1892, after running his engine for three years, he resigned his position and engaged in the cigar bus­iness in Scottdale. In 1897 he became the proprietor of the Central Hotel in Scottdale, which he disposed of by sale six months later. For some months thereafter he represented a Pittsburg house as a traveling salesman, and then went to Connellsville, where he once more engaged in the cigar business. In January, 1900, he settled in South Greensburg, and again became the proprietor of a hotel which his genial qualities as a host soon made extremely popular. In consequence of the fact that his business speedily outgrew the dimensions of his building, Mr. Steiner erected, in the summer and winter of 1903, a remarkably fine hotel structure of light pressed brick, supplied with all the modern hotel improvements. In April, 1904, he took possession of this building, which he opened under the name of the Colonial Road House. He also erected two residence properties in Greensburg. He was a Democrat in politics, and a member of the Lutheran church.
