Miss May Kathleen Steele
Miss May Kathleen Steele, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs John Steele of the 8th line of Ramsay, died on Tuesday, after an illness of several months duration. For six years prior to last April she was on the public school teaching staff of the city of Ottawa, and taught at Fifth Avenue School, where she gained a high reputation as one of the outstanding kindergarten teachers of the Capital. Early last Spring, she became ill, and had to give up her work. She returned home. Miss Steele, who was 29 years of age, was a former pupil of Almonte High School and later taught school at Pembroke. She became interested in kindergarten work and went to Toronto for a course there, and took a high place. The Ottawa School Board secured her services and frequently her work was favourably commented upon. She gave promise of a brilliant career. Besides her parents she is survived by two sisters and three brothers: Arthur, who is connected with the Solder's Settlement Board of Alberta, and who was overseas with the Princess Patricias, Louise, who is a nurse at Worcester, Mass, but who has been at home for some time nursing her sister, James and Ernest at home, and Beth, of Toronto. The funeral which was very largely attended took place this afternoon to the Eighth Line Cemetery, Rev W.H. Green officiated.
