As a leader of the Repub-I lican party in the county, he was in close touch with the prominent men I of the state and was highly respect ed by all of them. Perhaps no better history of his life could be written than that em bodied in the address delivered at funeral services by Professor Root, while the addresses delivered by At torney K t; Johnson and Pres.

Judge Steele's death was due to or ganic heart trouble and he had been confined to the house for s< weeks before the end came. Almost to the last, however, his mind was clear and he kept his grip on the world's affairs. One of his last re quests was for a dally paper for he said he wanted to know where the Russian and Japanese fleets were. This little incident shows how deep his interest was in the events of the hour. Judge Steele is survived by his wife, Mrs. B. F. Steele; his brother, L. B. Steele of Lorain; his sisters, Miss C. M. Steele of Oberlin and Mrs. Wm. A. Day of Sheffield. He leaves three children, Mrs. Marian Whedon of New York, Miss Eloise Steele of Oberlin, and John A. Steele, wl. a student ln the college.
