Beloved sister of Alida Steele Newton, Hester Steele Lochrey, Estelle Steele McGraw, Marshall Steele, Rush Steele, John Steele, and Hannibal Hamlin Steele

"The train was in the meantime thundering along at a terrific rate of speed--fifty-six miles an hour. As the conductor was passing through the car she was in, she
called him and asked him to raise the sash of the window in her seat. After looking out of the window, she took a
piece of paper from her pocketbook and wrote upon
it: 'Carrie Steele, No. 814 Eleventh northwest, Washington, D. C.'
This she pinned on the left lapel of her jacket and called to the porter to come and raise the window still higher for her.
When this was done and as soon as the porter had turned away, without uttering a word she threw herself headforemost out of the window..."
