Several years ago, while doing some other genealogical work, I made many inquiries regarding my maternal ancestry. The information thus gained I laid away until recently, when I began to think seriously of putting it into book form for the benefit of others. I sent out a circular letter stating my thoughts on the subject, and in a short time enough subscriptions were secured to justify me in going on with the work. I have made great efforts to get exact and detailed data, that this book might be complete and correct, and I felicitate myself that my efforts have been remarkably successful. I did my best to induce subscribers to furnish pictures of themselves and families for the book, and I am sorry so few have entered the family picture gallery. There will be many regrets that no more pictures were put in. There is not much of the book, but it contains the net results of my investigations along our ancestral and family lines. Those who read it will never realize the amount of time and labor required to collect and arrange for publication the material found in this little book. I hope it has not all been in vain, but that the little volume may be a source of interest, pleasure and profit for generations to come. Fraternally, Newton Chambers Steele. Chattanooga, Tenn,, 1st Dec, 1901. Introductory Remarks* We American people have been very careless about genealogical, matters until the last thirty to fifty years. People of all new countries are so occupied with the work of establishing government, commerce and ag;riculture that they do not have time to give much attention to history, especially genealogical history. Then there is the sense of independence coupled with a restive and anxious, yet hopeful, looking forward to the future, that tends to make the settlers and builders of a new country ignore, and almost scorn, the past. In recent years there has developed in America great interest and activity in genealogy. People are asking, Who am I? and whence came I? All over our country individuals and families are engaged in tracing their ancestral lines back as far as possible. Several years ago I began to hunt up the genealogy of my own family, which up to that time had been almost wholly neglected. I am what may be called a double Steele, both ray father and mother having been Steeles. As to the name, some Steele families omit the final " e." The most of them use it. Sometimes the final "e" has been omitted for generations and then restored. The name is the same with or without it. It is said that the name Steele is of Scotch origin, and hence that all Steeles have Scotch blood in them. Of this I am not certain, but it is probably true. Scotland and Ireland are so close together that for perhaps three thousand years there has been more or le.^s intimacy between their people. There has been constant migrating from one country to the other. Inter-marriages have been numerous, and this has produced the po called Scotch-Irish people of which we hear so much. However, this term is probably most usually applied to the mixing of the Scotch and Irish in the last three or four hundred years. Some apply the term to pure Scotch, who first came from Scotland and settled in Ireland, and later came to America without inter-marrying with the Irish at all. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries consid- erable numbers of people emigrated from Scotland to Ireland 5 6 CAPTAIN SINIAN STRKLK AND 111.-' J>r.-M i.MiA.Mc. lu - -ipe oppression of various kinds, mostly religious persecution. Tliese settled largely in the Eastern and Northern parts of Ireland. Many cjf tiieni inter-married with the best element of the native Irish people, Hecause of exhorbitant taxation and religiouspcrsecution and oppressions in Ireland many thousand of the Scotch-Irisli Presbyterians finally left Ireland and canw to the American colonies seeking more freed<»m and ndigions toleration. At lirst they settled largely in Tonnsylvania and N'irginia, iMit later many families migrateil to North and South Cartdina. Most of the Steeles of America are Scotch-Irish, and most of these, as distinct families, came directly fr(tm Ireland. Some came from England and other European countries. l)ut 1 think the most of them claim Scotland as their ancestral li(»me. During my genealogical researches I have corresponded with persons in about twenty states and in Ireland. I think I have collecteil about all of the historical data concerning my Steele ancestors that can be discovered. A f«'W years ago much valuable material now lost might have been secured. The gathering of the historical and genealogical material contained in this book has been an arduous task, but I have been greatly interested in the work and count it a " labor of love." It is not my aim or expectation to make one dollar by the sale of this book. It is a contribution to systematic genealogy. Many friends have very kindly assisted me in gathering data, to all of whom I hereby return thank-. 1 would like to mention >^nmi' of tlioni. but I do not wish to seem i>arlial. EXPLANATION AND INFORA1 \T10N. In a book containing the genealogy of a laiL'e family connection, the great majority of the persons can lie men- tioned by name only. It would reijuire a large and costly volume to do otherwise. Hooks of this kind necessarily have a very limitod sale, and a large book would cost several ilollars each. Each picture and special pen sketch in this book has been jiiiid for by some ojie, and have? not added to the price of the book to tho.^e who simply buy the book. .Ml jtictures are of persons mentioned in tin* book. As a rule 1 have used the full legal f»)rm of a name instead of the family pet or abbreviated name. I'or instance. I liavt written ".Martha'' infltead of ".Mat" or " .Mat tie," ".Margaret" instead of CAPTAIN NINIAN STEELE AND HIS DESCENDANTS. "Peggy," or "Maggie," "Susan" instead of"8ue" or " Susie," "Mary " instead of " Polly " or " Mollie," "Eudora " instead of " Dora," " Sarah " instead of " Sallie," " Elizabetli " instead of " Bessie," " Bettie." or " Lizzie." In this book a name in parenthesis usually means a woman's maiden surname. For instance: If John Jones married Miss Mary Steele, their names after marriage would probably be written John and Mary (Steele) Jones, or John Jones and Mary (Steele) Jones. In the genealogical tables " b " stands for " born," " m '' for "married," and "d" for "died." Every name in the war chapter can be found in its proper place in the body of the book in the "family" mentioned after the name in the war chapter. "Tradition," which is often used, means handed down orally, that is, from mouth to ear and not by written record. Of course there sometimes has been a record made of oral tradition. In a work like this, it is practically impossible to avoid all errors. Be charitable about them. I used the names, dates and other information furnished me by others. Of course there will be errors in names and dates, and it may be your name or the date of your birth or marriage that I have gotten wrong. It may all be my fault, but it is possible that it is yours. I discovered and corrected many errors in the names and dates that were sent me. I believe the genealogy is the most complete one of its size ever published. I have given an exact account of every descendant of Captain Ninian Steele except, possibly, the immediate family of one man (See Family 39.) HOW TO FIND YOUR NAME OR TRACE YOUR FAMILY. Examine the Index first; that may help you. If you don't find your name there look for the name of some prominent person closely related to you. Find that person and you can find your own name easily. If you know through which of the children of Ninian Steele, the First, you have descended turn to Family No. 1 and trace out your line. The words " see family" after any name points forward to that person's own tamily. The words ''see family" after the regular family number at the beginning of each family point back to the origin of that new family. A few moment's study will make it all plain to you. HISTORICAL SKETCH CAPTAIN NINIAN STEELE AND HIS DESCENDANTS. In a previous book, "Archibald Steele and His Descend- ants," I gave the genealogy of my paternal family " lines." In this volume I shall deal mostly with my maternal ancestry. It so happens that this, too, is a " Steele line," but the two lines do not spring from the same ancestor, so far as I have been able to ascertain. Ninian Steele, my mother's grandfather, was born 24th December, 1738. I am not sure where he was born, but I think it was in Ireland. It is certain that he or his father came from Ireland to America. My opinion, after hearing all available evidence, is that, when quite small, he came from Ireland with his father and settled in Chester county. Pa. One old record says he was a native of that county. He grew to manhood there and removed to Iredell county, N. C, before the Revolutionary war, in which he was a patriot soldier. (See War chapter.) On the 15th March, 1770, he married Miss Elizabeth Chambers, who was born 6th March, 1748. She was a daughter of Henry and Jane (Futhy) Chambers, of Lancaster (possibly Chester) county, Pa. Henry Chambers was born 13th July, 1708, and his wife in 1715. They were married 14th Novem- » ber, 1735. Henry Chambers and family moved to Iredell county, N. C, about 1754, where he died 26th October, 1783, and she 25th June, 1781. Miss Anna Steele, who is eighty years old, now living at Hico, Texas, and who is a great-granddaughter of Henry Chambers, says that the latter's wife's maiden name was Jane Futhy. Ninian Steele probably first met his future wife in Iredell county, N.C., where he and the Chambers family settled after moving from Pennsylvania. It is not certainly known what Ninian Steele's father's 9 10 CAPTAIN NINIAN 8TKKLK AND IIIS HKSCKNDAXTS. priven name was, hut I think from the slijrht evidenoe I have fouud that it was Saniiu'l. and that ho had two brothers in North Carolina named SaniUfl ami Robert, respectively. " Ninian " is an old Scotch name, datinj; back to or beyond the sixth century. It was the name of a celebrated Christian missionary to the Picts and Scots of Scotland. It was often pronounced Ni'nian, and now it is sometimes spelled as thus pronounced. Ninian Steele's mother was a Fnthy. and Miss Anna Steele abov*- mentioned says that she was a sister of the wife of Henry Clianibers. thus makin«: Ninian Stcfde and his wife first cousins. It is possible that she iuis confiiscil lliMiry Chambers with his son, Henry Chambers. Jr. Ninian Steele was a man of more than ordinary inlluence and enterprise in his community. It is positively claimed by his descendants in Iredell county, N. C, that he built and operated the tirst cotton j;in ever known in that state. He built it after readiiiL' in a letter a description of the Whitney {iin invented in ll'Xi. It was situated on a fork of Fifth Creek near his home, ten miles from Statesville, and was run l»y water power. I'arts of that lirst gin still e.xist. Ninian Steele was known in his county as a "peace- maker." Tradition has it that he sometimes actually paid the amount of money in dispute between neighbors in order to stop a neighborhood broil. While he did not hesitate, as we l>elieve, to act the soldier in war, he was emphatically a man of peace in times of peace. This was certainly an excellent trait of character — a noljle heritage to leave his children. It is much to l»e regretted that we know so little about him of wh(»se character we have these few glimpses. lie died on 30lli Deceiiilter.

CAPTAIN NINIAN STEELE AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 69 MILITARY CHAPTER. THE STEELES IN WAR. I will here briefly record the military history of Niniaii Steele and his descendants in the Revolutionary War, and tl.e great Civil War of 1861-5, and the Spanish-American War of 1898. The Steeles have always been quiet, peaceable cit- izens — the most of them leading the plain retired life of the farmer. They had no taste or training for war. ROLL OF HONOR. THE AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR. CAPT. NINIAN STEELE. So far as I have been able to find there are no official records that prove that Ninian Steele the First was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, but I hardly have a doubt that he was. Military records in the Carolinas were very imperfect during that war. Absence of official records of such matters is not positive proof that they are not history. Ninian Steele was thirty-seven years old when the v-ar began. He was a good citizen and an Irish Presbyterian, and thus it seems there was every reason to suppose that he would take an active part in the struggle for liberty. FAMILY TRADITION. 1 have a letter from a lady now eighty years old whose mother was an orphan girl reared in the family of Ninian Steele. This lady says that she has heard her mother say that Ninian Steele was a soldier in that war, and she used to hear her tell how afraid the wife and children of Ninian Steele sometimes were, while he was gone to the war, and the Brit- ish and Tory troops were reported to be in the community. There was no man at home to protect them, and the terror of those terrible days and the nights of suspense deeply im- pressed their minds with the facts and the reasons for them. Hence I think we may rightly claim that our paternal ancestor was a soldier in the Revolutionarv War. 70 CAPTAIN MNIAN 8TKKLK AM) HIS UKSCKSDANTS. He was afterward ealled captain, but I have no evidence that he was a captain in that war. Perhaps he was, or he may have been a captain of a conij)any of State militia after the war. The custom, so common now, of calling almost every man by some title did not prevail in those days. Hence, when a man was called captain or colonel then he usually was entitled to it in a military sense. THOJIAH 11 A. Ml Li UN. Thomas Hamilton (See Family 151) was in the war of ibl'2, uniler (i»*neral .lackson, and received a knife wound in the arm in a tifiht with the Indians. Nothing more known of his military history. He was born in North Carolina, and I suppose volunteered as a soldier from that State. He after- ward lived in Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi, dying in the latter State. THE CIVIL WAR OF 1861-65. During the great Civil War between the Southern and Northern States, 1861-65, twenty-four descendants of Ninian Steele were soldiers in the Confederate army, and so far as 1 know, not one in the army of the North. All of them lived in the South. There were fourteen Confederate soldiers who before or since that war, were directly connected with the Steele tamily by marriage. They are mentioned at the end of this chapter. I shall mention each one of both classes and give his company, regiment, and tell what oflice he held, if any, and whether he was captured, wounded, killed or died of disease while in the military service. Only brief mention will be made of most of them, because my information about tluMu is limited. No effort was made to gather data concerning them until thirty-three years after the war closed, by which time many (d the important actorswho survived the war were dead. While a people of peace and having n. Wa- never wounded nor 1)) Steele, Maj. Milas (See Family 58). At first he was captain of a company, and wIhmi a liattalioii was tormecl. (if wiiich his company became a part, he was elected Major of the battalion, which was known as Williamson's Arkansas Bat- talion. At Corinth, Miss., in May, 1862, his iiealtli laileu so completely that he had to leave the army entirely. In 1864 he rejoineci the army in Arkansas, under (ien. Sterling Price, and started with him on his last raiil into Missouri, but a^ain he was comptdled, on account of sickness, to return iiome. He enlisted from Conway County, Arl;. Nnw dead. (The la-t three were brotiiers). (21) Steele, Joseph Kobert (See Family 122), entered the army as a private in Company D, Twenty-third Mississij)i)i Infantry, and was mustered into the Confederate service li'tli September, 1861, at luka, Miss. Was in the siejie and all the battles of Fort Donebon in February, 1862, and was cajjtured there on the Ititli <>l that month and in prison at Camp Doujilass, Chicago, 111., lor seven months, and ex- chanjied in Septemljer, 1862. In the reorganization he was ele«'ted First Lieutenant of Company D. Was in the battle of Baker's Creek, Miss., on 16th May, 1862, and on account of severe illness he was taken prisoner next day on the retreat of the army from that position That time he was a prisoner on Johnston'- island, l^ake Erie for twenty-one months. Was paroled in March, 1865, but the war closed before he could be exchanged. After the war he became a C/iimberland l^resbyterian minister.

Thirty-second Mississipj»i Infantry. Enlisted before he was 18 years old. He was Second S«Mgeant and was CAPTAIN JSTINIAN STEELK AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 77 in the battles of Perryville. Ky., Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, Missionary Kidge, Ringgold, Resaca, New Hope, Atlanta, and several smaller ones on the Sherman-Johnston Dalton- to-Atlanta campaign. He was slightly wounded at Perry- ville, 8th October, 1862, severely wounded at New Hope^ Ga. ,27th May, 1864, and mortally wounded at Franklin, Tenn., 30th November, 1865, while in the act of scaling the last breastworks of the enemy. He received three more wounds after he fell and he died of his wounds 10th December following, and is buried at Franklin. His comrades in arms give him high praise as a noble man and excellent soldier. Enlisted from Alcorn County, Miss. (23) Steele, William Harvey (See Family 122), enlisted in Company H, Second Mississippi Cavalry, State troops, near close of war, when quite young. He became seriously ill after entering camp and was not able for service any more during the war. Infact, he never really recovered from that illness. After the war he became a minister in the ^^ / Cumberland Presbyterian church. Died 19th ^^^Ji'-embf-iH- (/y\J^Mr^ 1885, at Franklin, Tenn., on the hill where his brother (the preceding number) was mortally wounded twenty years before. Enlisted from what is now Alcorn County, Miss. (The last three were brothers, and also brothers of the writer of this history.) (24) Steele, Sinclair Ninian (See Family 175), enlisted as one of a Company of boys and men then organizing in his County. Because of the fact that very few men then remained at home, nearly all having already gone to the war, the County officials persuaded the members of this forming Company to remain at home for the protection o! the women and children. There was a large number of negroes in that County, and it was thought best for some <;f the white men to stav at home. Mr. Steele afterwards served the Confederate t,' Government by making gunpowder for it free of charge. He lives in Hale county, Ala. The following fourteen soldiers of the war of 1861-'65 were not decendants of Capt. Ninian Steele, but married into the family, and doubtless their connection generally, and their 78 CAPTAIN MMAN STKKLK AND MIS DKSrKNDANTS. desceiulant!5 espeoiully. will be jilad to have their war records preserved in this family book : (1) Altinai), Hradforil Henderson (8ee Family 10(>).

Laying aside editorial formality and " false modesty," I will write in the first person singular number. I am the fourth son of Mary Ann Steele and John Newton Steele (See Family 122) and was born on Thursday, 20th September, 1849, in Limestone County, Ala., two and a half miles south- east of what is now Elkmont, and seven miles north of Athens. Both of these towns are on the Louisville & Nashville Rail- road, from Nashville, Tenn., to Decatur, Ala. This road was built in 1858, and Elkmont came with the opening of this road, which was after we moved to Mississippi. I was born in the house my grandfather, Robert Steele, built in August, 1818, and which is still standing. I remember a few incidents only of my life in Alabama- One is that it was in one of the small perennial streams of Limestone County that I had my first experience in fishing with a real fish-book. I did not catch any fish, but I lost my hook. A large boy named Smith took it from me by superior "muscle." We called the stream I fished in the "Tanyard Branch" because it ran through father's tan-yard and supplied it with water. Father had taken me with him to the tan-yard that day and I suppose he gave me the hook to amuse myself with and incidentally to keep me out of his way while he worked. Another Incident. — One day I went with "Elic," a colored boy who belonged to father and who was several years older than myself, to pick cotton near an old orchard. Some neighbor boys who came to get apples asked Elic my name, and he said it was " Pewter." The boys laughed and I felt cheap. Why he called me " Pewter " I do not know. Per- haps he thought I was too " soft " to be called Steel(e). Again. — I was a very awkward boy and I tumbled out of wagons and off of horses every chance I got, and that was often. One day I fell out of a standing wagon and hurt ray left arm badly. A day or two after my hurt and while my arm was still in a sling. Brother William and I went to a field where some men were plowing. I saw a black dog quite a 84 rAPTAl.N N'IMAN STKKLK AND IIIS DKSCKNDANTS. distance awsiy ami he began Itarkiiifr at ub vigorously. This Rcareil nio hailly, and in oitler to get out of dog danger we hail to rlinil) over a high rail fenoe. William got over (juickly, but the top rail turned with me and I fell oil' backward — on the wrong side, of <'ourse. 1 was then worse scared than ever, but 1 got over that fence in short order. You see, that dog was still barking and I just had to get over the fence, and what a fellow han to do he usually does ! When safely (»n the other side of the fence I took time to look back through my tears and a crack of the fence, and saw the dog standing just where I first saw him. 1 don't suppose that he ever had the slightest intention of molesting us. It is often so in life; we get scared by mere noise when there is but little, if any danger. Not long after that I had another scare by a dog. I came suddenly upon a stray dog asleep in the orchard, and the way 1 made tracks down the narrow path through the tall weeds may be imagined. It was ludicrous then no doubt, and it may seem funny now, but at that particular time it was a serious alfair with me. In my head-long run to escape the strange dog I fell full length in the path. I did not iiave to be told to get up, but I got up, and that in a hurry. I suppose the innocent dog slept on, perhaps dreaming of happy hunt- ing days to come. I was not more than four or five years old at that time and had not become as well accjuainted with dogs as I did a few years later; had not made them my " bosom friends," so to speak. Well, 1 U'ur liiai all ul this seems rather silly to many of you, especially if you are so old that you have forgotten your •'dog-days" — but 1 expect some "small boys'' will reail this book, and I know that boys like dog-tales, even poor ones like these. These sts was then in our community. I am sorry to say. My lirst school teacher at our new homi> was , lames L. McLean, who is now living' in that neifihborhood. The next vear the war came on, and mv teacher ami niv elder brothers, Joseph liohcrt aiul Milus Jackson, joined the Confederate army. Then for four years we experienced the suspense, horrors and uncertainties of war. First came the excitement of organizing, equipping and drilling the companies raised in our neighborhood, with all tiie confusion and interruptions to social, educational and business life involved. Next the massing of the Confederate army at Corinth early in 1862, and the great battle of Shiloli on the otii and 6th of April, that year, which we heard dis- tinctly. After that battle until the army left Corinth, the last of May, there was a vast amount of sickness among the Confederate soldiers, and almost every farm and village home for twelve miles west and south of Corinth, was a pri- vate hospital for sick soldiers. Our house was full of them for weeks. We boys enjoyed all that very much. When the Confederate army left Corinth the Feileral army of course became masters of that region. Father took his negroes and nearly all of his horses and mules to South Alabama, where he kept them until near the close of the war. The Federal army took everything that was in sight, and much that was not in sight. 1 distinctly remember the battle of Corinth on the 3d and 4th of October, 1862, when Van J)orn and Trice tried by di- rect assault to retake the town, wiiich was tiioronghly fortilied and garrisoned. Although eight miles from our home the terrible cannonading shook our house like an eartlnjuake. ( )ne door was shaken open and the windows rattled as if the glass would be shaken out. There were Federal pickets in our orchard that day, and iii\ mother, although very fct'lde, was forced to cook dinner lor thcni. tin- scddiers riding through the gate right up to the door to make their demands. I had to take tliiMu their dinner. They \\ere vers mrvmis as the CAPTAIN NINIAN STEELE AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 89 cannon at Corinth boomed and roared and I thoroughly enjoyed their trepidation. They were unnecessarily alarmed however for the Confederates were repulsed, and for us times were darker than ever. How our mother and her five children lived through that dark period it would be hard to tell. We had some bacon hid away in the attic and we made meal by rubbing ears of corn on a coarse grater which was made of an old piece of tin by punching holes through it with a nail. As I now remem- ber we boys were not much troubled in mind or body. Cares sit lightly on the shoulders of youth. During the war I went to school at different times to two lady teachers. Right here I will give in chronological order as best I can remember the names of all the teachers to whom I went to school ; Mr. Buchanan, Rev. F. M. Moses, Lemuel Murdaugh, William H. Cogsdell, Hartwell Briggs, Mrs. Smith, James L. McEean, Miss Marietta Hill, Miss Mary Porter, Elijah T. Nicholson and Mr. Johnston. I had my full share of innocent school-boy fun, and I fear that I loved to play marbles, fox-and-hounds, "bull-pen" and town-ball, better than to study. I was just an ordinary rough-and-tumble school-boy with a good many angularities of body and disposition, but somehow I never gave my teach- ers much trouble and never got a straight-out whipping at school in my life. I don't remember that any of my teachers ever complimented me but once and that was when one of them told my father that he always dreaded to see me coming to him with a problem in arithmetic, for he knew by experi- ence that it probably would be a difficult one that I would bring him to solve. When finally the black, desolating cloud of war rolled away we found ourselves all alive and at home again — all except one. My second brother, Milus Jackson, the favorite of the family, had fallen mortally wounded on the battlefield of Franklin, Tenn., 30th Nov., 1864, while in the act of leap- ing over the parapet of the enemy's last line of works. We missed him long and sorely. With the vivid imagination and strong hope of youth I could not for years rid myself of the thought that he would come home some day, although I knew that was impossible. Today my eyes fill with tears as' I write of those dark times and terrible experiences thirty-five years 90 CAPTAIN NIXIAX STKKLK AM> HIS DKSl'KXDANTS. ago, and especially of his sad fate. Coming; back to the farm ajrain, we went to work with renewed energy to repair our "broken fortunes," and to try to bi> and do sonuthini: in the world. We rebuilt the burnt and neirh-i'teil fiMu-es, reopened the old tlitches and dui: new ones, and soon had the old farm in pretty jjood condition again. I made a full hand on the farm from the time 1 was six years old until 1 was twenty-one, and 1 never missed but one full summer's work in all that time After the war, just as before it. I went to school during the winter, and sometimes after crops were "laid by,'' and one year I went all summer, which was something unusual on our farm. 1 never attended a literary college. Father otiered to give me a comjilete col- lege course, but as my health at that time was much im- paired, I thought it best not to go away from home to school. lie managed to send all of his other children to college. 1 now think that I made a mistake in declining to go, even under the circumstances. 1 have tried to make amends for this lack of college training by " picking up " all the educa- tion I could along the wayside of a busy life. When, as a boy eight years old, I "ran up against" the multiplication table, I thought it was the greatest problem that 1 would meet in life. Hut I soon mastered that. I re- member distinctly that when I had mastered the multiplica- tion table a new problem more serious than it at once con- fronted me, and that was the problem of personal religion. 1 made more or less serious attempts all along through my y()Uth to be religious, and to "get religion," as expressed in those days. At a great '' revival '' of religion, comlucted by a Methodist circuit rider, Kev. .las. W. Ilonnoll, at old I'leasant Valley (.'hurch, 1 made a jiublic profession of ridigiou. That wa*^ on the niirht of the 24th of September, lh(»7, and on the 13th urMig the winter ol l>7i L', 1 allemled llie iiieilical de- CAPTAIN NINIAN STEELE AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 91 partment of the University of Louisville, at Louisville, Ky. The next summer (1872) I continued my studies with Dr. Taylor, and that winter I attended "lectures" at the medical department of the University of Nashville, at Nashville, Tenn., from which school I graduated the 26th of February, 1873. I may be pardoned for saying that I had the good for- tune of winning more prizes than any other member of my class, and stood the highest in my class on surgery. The next month, March, I opened an office in my father's house on the old farm, and at once began to get a good share of the neigh- borhood practice. I rather wanted to go to Memphis, Tenn., but father and mother were then alone. All the other children were away fjom home, some of them being at school, and they very much desired me to remain at home with them. I concluded to do so, at least to remain near them for a time. On the 15th of July, 1873, I moved my office to Kossuth, our little postoffice town. There I boarded with old Mr. William C. Simmons. I had a good patronage and was fairly successful. I concluded that if I must remain there indefinitely and practice medicine, it would not be well to live alone, so on the 23rd Feb., 1875, I married Miss Frances Ellen Jones, a daughter of John and Mary Ann (Dilworth) Jones who lived just two miles south of Kossuth. She was just twenty years old, and was a beautiful, lovely and popular young lady. An experience of twenty-five years has proven that I was fortunate in choosing a wife, for, increasingly as the years have gone by, she has by her kindly spirit, patience and un- selfishness, and by her untiring, loving interest in our home- life, proven her sterling worth as woman, wife and mother. We were married by her pastor, Rev. Daniel W. Babb, a minister of the M. E. Church, South. I did well enough at Kossuth but I wanted to do better, which is always praiseworthy. Seeking to carry out this pur- pose I, on the 13th of May, 1880, moved to Corinth, same county, and very soon entered on a good practice, having for- tunately stepped into the professional shoes of a physician and friend who gave up his practice there on account of his health. Up to this time my wife had remained a member of the 9*2 CAPTAIN NINIAX 8TKKLK AND HIS DESOKNDANTS. Metho(li?t church, but at Corinth wo hoth joined the C. 1*. oliurch iinil I was at once elected ruling ehler in that congre- gation, ami t'litcreil actively into clnirch and Sunday school work. 1 had always been a total abstainer from intoxicants and a It'iniierance advocate, and for years I iiad Iteen a prohibi- tionist. At Corinth, circumstances and my natural inclina- tion soon pushed me willin{;ly forward as a leader in a red- hot anti-Baloon Wiaht, which resulted, iu 1881, in i)nttins; every saloon out of the town never hi return. At least, (Corinth has never had a saloon since and it is one of the most prosperous towns in that State. Prohibition did not kill Corinth. 1 had an excellent and pleasant practice at Corinth and a larj;e circle of devoted friends, but 1 was never (juite satis- lied with the gjeneral practice of medicine. For years i had had a likinp: for Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat work. In April lbS6, 1 wont to Ix)ndon, Enj^Iand. to study these specialties, starting April 12th and reaching Lon- don the 2Gth of that month. I studied in the lioyal Ophthal- mic Hospital and in the (lolden Square Throat Hospital. On returning home I decided to abandon the general practice, and also that it would suit me better to practice my special- ties in a larger place than Corinth. On the 27th of October, that year, (1880), 1 removed to Chattanooga, Tenn., where I have lived ever since. In Chattanooga I have enjoyed an I'X- ctdlent and increasing patronage. 1 am a member of the ('hattanooga Medical Socit'ty, the Tinnessee St:it<* Medical Society, and the Anierii'an Meilical Association. In 1SM« 1 was (dcftcd to a chair in the C-hattanooga Med- ical College, and now am I'rofessor of Diseases of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat in that school, and am also ()phthal- mologist to the Baroness Erlanger Hospital of this city. In 1886, soon after reaching Chattanooga, my wife, myself ami daughter, joined by letter, the Cumberland I'resljyterian church in this city, of which I waselectiMl a ruling elder about the time I became a member. I have had the honor of l)eing the Superintendent of its Sumlay school several years at dif- ferent tinii's, and for four years the I'resident of the Chatta- niHiga Voung Men's (.'hristian Association.

(See Family 122) He was horn 2<)th Oct., 1852, near Elkmont, Limestone county, Alabama. When two years old he went with his father's family to Alcorn county, Mississippi. He grew upon the farm as ilid his brothers, and with them shared the arduous labors of real old-time farm-life. lie {jot as much wholesome fun and healthful enjoyment out of his life on the farm as any of us and perhaps a little more. He was a natural mimic and had full scope on the farm for the exercise of that talent. When just a stripling of a boy he showed unusual talent as a public speaker. He and I used to attend the old fashioned debating societies held in the old log school houses in our community, and I remember distinctly that some of our neighbors were surprised that "Donnell Steele could speak so well." Other speakers may have shown more logic, history, or philosophy in their speeches than he, but what he said was told with such earnestness, contldence and torrential elo- quence for a boy that it had great elfect on his hearers. He atten:y of his descend- ants, lie was my paternal i;reat-Krand-father. Archibald Steele was born in Scot bind or England about 1728.
