The Late James A.:steeIe.

Mr.. James A. Steele, who died in
Clover Valley last week, was born in
Armagh, Ireland in 1886. He emf.
grated from Ireland when he was IL
years old with his father, mother,
three brothers and two sisters. The
family first settled in Cleveland,
Ohio, where they remained for sever
al years. From there the family
moved to Wampacca, Wisconsin.
Here the deceased, then young man,
engaged in farming. After his faith
er's death he came to Nevada and in
1860 settled near where Reno now
stands. Here he engaged in farming
for time and then moved to Vir.
gnia City where he conducted hay
and livery stable. During the White
Pine excitement in 1869, he and his
brother William went to that new
Eldorado.. They remained but a
short time and on their return passed
through Clover Valley where he To-
Gated and lived up to the time of his
death. Here Mr.. Steele engaged ex-
tensively in farming and stock rails
ing.
One brother, Robert, living near
Reno, and sister. Mrs. Sarah futile,
who resides in Glover Valley, a
widow, three sons and two daughters
survive him.
Mr.. Steele was taken last October
with cancer on the tongue and he
consulted the best physicians in Reno,
Ogden and Salt Lake. He returned
from each trip without receiving any
permanent benefit from the treatment.
He bore his illness patiently and
calmly waited for death to summon
him to where there would be no more
pain or sickness.
Mr.. Steele was kind father. an in
dulgent husband and a good citizen
and was highly respected throughout
the State by all who knew him.
