General Notes: Husband - John Frederick Steinman

---

On attaining his majority, he succeeded to his father's mercantile business in Lancaster City, Pennsylvania, which he developed into large proportions, and conducted with great success until his retirement from the business, in 1849, when he transferred it to his eldest son, George M. Steinman, who had been his partner since 1836. He was a non-commissioned officer of a volunteer company in the War of 1812, and marched to Elktown. He was first president of the Conestoga Steam Cotton-Mill Company, organized by citizens of Lancaster; active in the City Councils for many years, and a member of the first Select Council of the city; chief organizer of the school system of the city, and a director of the school board for a number of years, over which he was first to preside; took an active part in building the first reservoir, and, while he took a deep interest in the prosperity of his own, the Moravian, church, he was liberal in his opinions of other religious denominations.
