General Notes: Husband - William C. Steel

---

He passed his childhood and early youth on his father's farm and was educated at the local public schools. After completing his studies he decided to follow in the footsteps of his forebears for a number of generations and engaged in farming as an occupation. He became the owner of a handsome and fertile tract of land which includes some ninety acres and was situated about one mile from New Alexandria, one of the most progressive communities in a region which was noted for its progressiveness. This farm was at one time owned by Henry Seanor, one of the prominent citizens of that community, and Mr. Steel purchased it from him in the year 1883. He lived uninterruptedly upon this property until 1915, when he removed to New Alexandria and gave up active farming to a large extent. The place, however, was still kept up by C. W. Anderson. In his religious belief Mr. Steel was a Presbyterian, while in politics the Republican party claimed his allegiance. While Mr. Steel was always keenly interested in public affairs, he did not, however, ever participated actively in them and always remained totally without ambition to hold public office of any kind.
