  JOSEPH M. STEINER, Merchant and Banker, Greenville, was born in Butler County,
this State, in 1854, and is a son of Joseph and Margaret M. (Camp) Steiner.

  Mr. Steiner was educated at the common schools of Greenville, and was only
fourteen years of age when he was engaged as a clerk in his father's cotton
establishment, at Mobile. He remained at Mobile one year, and returned to
Greenville, accepted a clerkship in the store of Dunklin & Steiner, was there
until 1874, and was in that year admitted to partnership. In 1887. Governor Seay
appointed him Treasurer of Butler County, to fill out the unexpired term, caused
by the death of the recent incumbent of that office. He is, therefore, at this
writing County Treasurer, and is also a member of the Greenville Board of
Aldermen. His business relations may be summed up as follows: He is a member of
the firm of Joseph Steiner & Sons, bankers, and J. M. Steiner & Co., hardware
merchants, Greenville; Steiner Bros, & Co., general merchandise; Joseph Steiner
& Sons, fertilizers, etc.; and the Steiner Hardware Company, Decatur, Ala.

  Altogether, Mr. Steiner is one of the most active and successful business men
(and he is a business man, to the exclusion of everything else except of his
duties to the community as a good citizen,) in the State of Alabama. He was
married at Greenville March 11, 1875, to Miss Ida, daughter of A. J. and Clara
E. Hawthorne, of this city, and has had born to him four children: Bettie,
Clara, Joseph, Aileen.

  Mr. Steiner is a member of the Greenville Light Guards, of the Knights of
Pythias, Knights of Honor, and the I. O. O. F., in all of which organizations he
has filled the various chairs.
