On Friday, April 20, Mrs. Margaret
McElroy Steele, after a serious illness
of two months, passed away. About
twelve years ago Mrs. Steele had the
misfortune to fall, which rendered her a
cripple the remainder of her life, and
during all these years she bore her afflc-
tions very patiently. This noble woman
was born on the 18th of July, 1916. At
the age of nineteen or in 1885, she was
married to Capt William Steele, and in
1886 they moved to what is now Oconee
county, where she lived the remainder of
her life. In 1854 her husband died, leav-
ing her and three children, two of whom
are living, namely: Mrs. A. III. Ellison,
of Oconee, and Mrs. DR.. G. A. Webb, of
Hartwell, Ga. At the age of fifteen she
united with the Presbyterian church, and
was consistent member for seventy five
years, being the oldest member of the
Richland Presbyterian church at the
time of her death. BY her patient and
loving influence with her household, she
was able to remark, a few days before
her death, that she had never had a
child or grandchild to speak disrespect-
fully to her. After appropriate funeral
services, conducted by Rev. w. +. Strick-
land, her remains were laid to rest at the
historic Old Stone church beside hei
husband and son. l.. DIP.
