Comments
Note the discrepancy between the death date on the marker (2/20/1872) and the death/burial date on the Westwood printout (8/20/1881); a reburial? Check the original burial register. Information on the Steele family is in, among other places, "Another Honored Citizen Gone," Oberlin News, May 2, 1905, pp. 1ff, and Wilbur H. Phillips, Oberlin Colony: The Story of a Century (Oberlin, Ohio: n.p., 1933), esp. pp. 218-239.
