   General Notes:

LINDSAY STEELE
As remembered by his sisters Fern, Abigail, Wanda and Faymetta

Lindsay was born August 3, 1890 at Panguitch, Garfield, Utah in his Grandfather Steele’s carpenter shop. He was a husky baby and grew to be a strong youth. He was medium height with broad shoulders and more of a stocky build than thin like his father. He had beautiful dark brown wavy hair. His complexion was fair and covered generously with freckles. His hazel eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, especially when he was playing a joke on someone.

When his father accepted a job as Post Office Inspector, he was away from home except for a two-week vacation once a year. This meant that Lindsay had to be supervised by Uncle John and Grandfather Steele. Lindsay and Uncle John both had the fiery Irish temper of Great-grandfather Steele, and they were not always happy together; but Grandfather Steele and his two sons had formed a company, and they felt that Lindsay should do his part to help out.

It was during one summer at the ranch while Lindsay was in his late teens that Aunt Zephyr hired a girl from Escalante, Utah to help her. Her name was Mary Elizabeth Barker, but we called her May. She and Lindsay became quite attached to each other, and their friendship grew. Lindsay left the ranch because of a disagreement with Uncle John. He ran away and walked to Panguitch, a distance of 35 mines. Lindsay took May home for Christmas, and while there, he and May were married 7 January 190o. Lindsay brought her back as his wife. The family was glad to accept her, for we had already learned to love her. She seemed to fit right into our family.

When we moved to the Mitchel Ranch, he and his wife moved with us, and he helped to run the ranch. It was here their first two children were born. Then he moved to Sutherland where three more children were born. In Sutherland Lindsay built a home one block to the southeast of our home. During World War I our families fed steers and then butchered them for market. Lindsay was the chief butcher.

He contracted influenza in 1918 during the great epidemic. He was making a speedy recovery when his house caught on fire, and he got up out of his sick bed to put it out. He took a setback, and pneumonia set in. He died within a few days, 16 December 1918.
