Death of Mrs. Steele  

Mrs. Hattie A. Steele died at her home in this city Monday, September 22, 
of a carbuncle on her shoulder.  The funeral was held at the home on 
Wednesday afternoon and the body was interred in the city cemetery  by 
the side of her husband, Robert B. Steele, who died August 21, 1910.

Hattie A. Sage was born January 4, 1851, at Syracuse, NY, came with her 
parents to Illinois in 1853, and to Iowa in 1864. Here in 1867 she was 
married to Robert B. Steele. To them were born the following children  
who survive them; George E. and H.R. Steele of Winner, South Dakota. 
Bert M. Steele, and Mrs. L.A. Oliver of Yankton, Frank L. Steele and Mrs. 
F.M. McClean of Winthrop, Washington, and Elmer L. Steele of this city.  
She leaves three brothers, and one sister, thirty-three grandchildren and 
nine great-grandchildren.  She was the mother of nine children, two 
daughters having died some time ago, Mrs. J.A. Boyd and Mrs. E.W. Smith.

The family were pioneer residents of Nebraska, Mrs. Steele having lived 
in the state 28 years at the time of her death.  

The funeral, which was conducted by Dr. Gallagher, of whose congregation 
she had been a member, was attended by the following from outside of the 
county George E .Steel and James Boyd of Winner, SD., Mr. and Mrs. L.A. 
Oliver,  Mr. and Mrs. Bert Steele,  Mrs. Frank Sage, and daughter Ella; and 
Mrs. and Mrs. George Simpson of Yankton. Mr. and Mrs. E.A. Sage, Herbert, and 
George Sage, Sam Martin, Mr. and Mrs. John Nelson, and R. Lawrence of Crofton. 
Mrs. John Walters of Laurel and Martin Martinson of Sioux City. 

The deceased was a woman of the most kindly disposition, and numbered for 
friends all who were so fortunate  as to know her. Having been a pioneer 
in Hartington, she was known to most of the early settlers, all of whom join 
most sincerely with the family in their grief for this gentle and kindly soul 
whose influence is felt to have been beneficent and whose memory will remain 
a benediction.
