Clayton County Register, 10 Nov. 1937.

STRAWBERRY POINT: The body of Mrs. Neola Steinhilber of Pocahontas was brought here Friday for interment in the family lot of the Strawberry Point cemetery. Rev. Carrie V. Lucas, pastor of the Congregational church, conducted short services at the grave. Mrs. Steinhilber, nee Neola Scofield, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Scofield, was born at Strawberry Point in 1865, and died very suddenly at her home in Pocahontas last week, Tuesday.

Mrs. Steinhilber was getting ready to attend a luncheon. Friends called her, and getting no response at the door, they walked in and found her lying on the floor, dead. Death was probably due to a heart attack.

She was united in marriage to George H. Steinhilber, who preceded her in death several years ago. The home was made here a number of years, later going to Pocahontas, where she has since resided. Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Cyril (Ethel) Carney, of Des Moines, and Miss Harriet Steinhilber of New York City.
