Steele, son of George and Ruth Steele was born at Bentonsport, Iowa, January 11, 1861, and passed away at his home in Leando, January 8, 1937. These dates represent the time of a life well spent. In early childhood with his widowed mother and brothers and sisters he came to a farm two miles north of Lebanon where he grew to manhood. He was united in marriage to Loretta Hewitt May 27, 1888. To this union four children were born, two sons dying in infancy. The others are Mrs. Ruth Ramsey, of Keosauqua, Iowa, and Rex Steele, of near Glasgow, Iowa. He leaves to mourn his loss his devoted wife, two children, nine grandchildren, one great grandchild, one son-in-law and one daughter-in-law, two brothers, a number of nieces and nephews and other relatives and friends. He was brought up in the Presbyterian faith, his mother being a charter member of the Lebanon Presbyterian church. He united with the same church about 42 years ago under the ministry of Rev. Markham. He had been in failing health for several years and seriously ill since December 12. He was an affectionate husband and father. And a neighbor always ready to lend a helping hand as long as he was able. He was preceded in death by his father and mother, two brothers, one sister and two children. It is not death to die, to leave this weary road and, mid the brotherhood on high, to be at home with God. It is not death to close the eye long dimmed by tears, and wake, in glorious repose to spend eternal years. Jesus, Thou promise of life, Thy chosen cannot die; Like Thee, they conquer in the strife, to reign with Thee on high. Source: Van Buren Co.
