Eberhard B. Steinlage, 88, formerly of Kelly, Kansas, died Saturday, July 29, 2000, in a Sacramento, California hospital following a lengthy illness.
He was born on a farm southeast of Kelly, Kansas, on March 7, 1912, the son of Joseph and Agnes Niehues Steinlage. He grew up in the Kelly area, attended St. Bede's School, and helped on the family farm. He graduated from Maur Hill High School in Atchison. He taught in a country school near his home for a short period of time before moving to California. He was employed by Purity Grocery Chain and became a store manager. At Yuba, California, he began work for the Yuba Consolidated Gold Fields as an electrician on the company's huge gold dredgers.
During World War II, he served in both the U.S. Army and the Army Air Corps. In 1943 he was married to Irene Burns, and there were three children born to that union. They were later divorced. After the war, he returned to Consolidated at Yuba and then took a job with Woodleaf Box & Lumber Co. as head electrician. He joined Convair Astronautics (General Dynamics) in San Diego and worked on some of our nation's first missiles. Later he worked in Fresno for American Beauty Pasta Company where he supervised the re-tooling of the machinery, bringing it into the state of the art and increasing production.
Following his retirement, he lived in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, with his son and daughter-in-law, Ben and Sandi Steinlage, for nine years. He moved to Country View Estates in Seneca, Kansas in August of 1999 and to Sacramento in April of 2000.
