Andrew Louis Steel [alternate spelling STEELE] was born to William Henry Steel and Adaline Cinderella COOK [alternate spelling KOCH], 15 September 1865 in Irving, Marshall County, Kansas. The date of birth was found in the family Bible. His father was born in Missouri and his mother in Pennsylvania.
In the Spring of 1871, the family moved from Marshall County, Kansas to California, probably in the area of Los Angeles County. About 1876 the family moved again, this time to Wasco County, Oregon. Andrew's father purchased a Homestead about 5 miles South of The Dalles. Later, the family moved into town to a house where Andrew lived until he died, 9 January 1924.
Andrew never married. He joined the Oregon National Guard, enlisting in November 1898, for 3 years. He re-enlisted, each of the following years, up through 1908. He was in Company D, the 3rd Regiment, and is listed as serving in the 1st S. Battery for two of those years. At enlistment in 1898, his occupation showed him as a clerk, and later as a wool sorter. The 1910 census shows he was a salesman at a grocery, and he is also listed as one of the census takers for the East Dalles Precinct.
Andrew's parents and all but two of his siblings preceeded him in death. One brother, Franklin B. Steel, is the only one not buried in The Dalles. Frank died in 1964 and is buried in Baker City. All the others are buried in The Dalles, in the same cemetery. Andrew's grave is in the row below his parents and siblings. He has a small cement marker with his name, and year of birth and death, which is now hard to read. The stone was probably only meant to be a temporary marker.
The death notice, and or obituary for Andrew, was found in The Dalles Weekly Chronicle, 17 January 1924, page 5. It is titled "" It said he had suffered a paralytic stroke, several years before his death, from which he never entirely recovered, and that he was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His address was listed as 1001 Jackson, which later became 1001 E. 9th, in The Dalles.
Also see the 1880 Federal census Dalles Precinct, Wasco County, Oregon, page 6B, , E.D. 121, bottom of the page. Andrew is listed as son, age 14, born in Kansas.
