Death of S.G. Steele.
Last week we were joyed to note Mr. Steele's recovery from a severe and prolonged attack of chronic bronchitis, and, indeed, his friends and attendants consridered his condition obviously hopeful. But, on Thursday, the announcement of his sudden death was received with a shock of sorrow and grief that pervaded the entire community. None knew him but to esteem him as a man almost without a fault, and none were heard to utter a word of reproof against any feature of the honest, upright course to which he steadfastly adhered through life. His constant guide was the golden rule, the generous reward for which being prosperity in business and the hearty good will of all. But, him has the hand of eternity beckoned to a more peaceful home, and the joys of a world in which sorrow is unknown are his. Mr. Steele was a native of Virginia, from which State he removed to the Pacific coast about the year 1852. Most of the time, since his arrival here, up to within a few years of the present was devoted to mining in different portions of California. Of that, however, he soon became weary, and, upon his withdrawal from the mines, he entered into the merchandising business, in which he was engaged, in company with J.P. Cochran, Esq., at the time of his death. He and Mr. Cochran came to this section in December, 1878, and, forming a copartnership, established in Chewaucan valley, and gave to the village which immediately sprang up about them the name of Paisley.
The remains of deceased were interred in the Odd Fellow's cemetery at this place, the funeral taking place yesterday at 2:30 p.m., Lakeview Lodge, I.O.O.F., conducting the services.
