Miss STEELE was born July 25, 1895, in Jefferson County, the daughter of Joseph and Addie JAMES STEELE. She attended Howard Business School and Modern Business College, both in Fairfield, was a bookkeeper for Thoma and Sons Glass and Paint Store in Fairfield and for Reed's Ice Cream Co. in Des Moines for 27 years. She lived most of her life in Fairfield, where she was a member of the Keep Young Club.

Surviving are a sister, Edna CARR of Fairfield, several nieces and nephews. Three sisters, Bertha STEELE, Maude McWHIRTER, Mable BRINKLEY and three brothers, Clarence, Frank and Charlie, preceded her in death.
