Photo of Steele reunion. Steele Reunion Picture Aunt Mary Martin thinks this was the last reunion. Andrew died 5 March 1914. Eva looks about 2 years, Ray 11 years, Norman 8 years, Mary 15 years. If this was taken in 1912, these ages would be correct. Taken from the side of Andrew and Mary Steele’s house, located on the Steele road back of Roseville, off the Brookville road. It was across/diagonal from Andrews brother Perry Steele, in the area once known as Steeletown, Aunt Mary called him “Uncle Perry across the oats field.” Aunt Priscilla Hammond sent the money to build the house and all the sons cut the timber and built the house, including son-in-law Wilson O. Himes. Grandma Olive was upset with the boys, she had their hair combed the way she wanted, and they played and hid it messed up for the picture.
