On Tuesday, the 15th instant, the anniversary of the death of her husband nineteen years ago, Caroline Paine Steele, widow of Henry Wardner, died of pneumonia at her home on Pine Street, Windsor, after an illness of six days. Mrs. Wardner was the third daughter of Jason and Harriet (Converse) Steele and was born at Chelsea, Vermont. Her father brought his family to Windsor in 1849 and bought the Steele place, now the residence of Mr. Will Davis, one half mile north of the village. Since that time, except for the years 1883 to 1891, Windsor had been Mrs. Wardner's home although she had passed several winters in Massachusetts.
She married June 13, 1866, Henry Wardner of Windsor, who for many years was the cashier and managing director of the very successful Ascutney National Bank of Windsor.
Three children were born to them: Henry Steele Wardner, now an attorney of New York city, Susan Ellen Wardner, wife of Robert Waite Harrison of San Francisco, and Allen Wardner, 2d., who died at Pprtland, Oregon in 1908.
From 1883 to 1891, while their sons and daughter were at school or college, Mr. and Mrs. Wardner made their home in Springfield, Mass., but during this period always returned to Windsor for the summer. Besides her two living children, Mrs. Wardner is survived by two sisters; Mrs. Delos W. Beadle of Toronto, Canada, and Miss Ellen S. Steele, who for the past thirty years has made her home with Mrs. Wardner.
Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at St. Paul's church of which Mrs. Wardner was a communicant; Rev. Prescott Evarts of Cambridge, Mass., and Rev. Charles W. Coit, rector of the church officiated. ( From the Vermont Journal, Feb. 18, 1910.)
