Steffey, Jonathan -- Jonathan Steffey was born at Williamsport, Md., September 22, 1800, died at Shelby, Ohio, August 1st., 1876, aged 75 years, 10 months and 9 days. He in early life had in view the Christian ministry, and for some time studied with Rev. Kurtz of the Lutheran church. It seems, according to this, that he was then a member of said church. In 1830, he was married to Rebecca Mayberry, who departed this life February 14th., 1873. In 1835 he moved to Ganges, Ohio, where he resided until the last three years. Since then he was kindly cared for by his daughters and son in Shelby. His last illness, though short, was severe. Conscious that his end was near, he declared his desire to go home and be at rest. His mortal remains were followed to Ganges and there laid to rest. Funeral services were held, conducted by the Rev. N.H. Loose, attended by many old neighbors and sympathizing friends.
