	ROBERT WILLIAM STEELE, JR.


	Robert William Steele, Jr., who has but recently reached the 
twenty-seventh milestone on life's journey, is devoting his attention 
to the practice of law as a member of the firm of Reed & Steele. He was 
born in Denver, Colorado, April 8, 1891, and is a son of Robert W. and 
Anna B. (Truax) Steele. The mother is still living in Denver, but the 
father, who was one of the most eminent jurists that the west has 
produced, passed away in the year 1910. The son was at that time a 
youth of nineteen years. In the previous year he completed his public 
school education by graduation from the East Denver high school. He 
continued his studies in Princeton University, where he won his 
Bachelor of Arts degree in 1913. Determining to follow in his father's 
professional footsteps, he entered the Denver Law School and won his 
LL. B. degree upon graduation with the class of 1916. The same year he 
was admitted to practice and entered into partnership with B. F. Reed 
under the firm style of Reed & Steele. He is now concentrating his 
efforts and attention upon his law practice, which is continually 
developing in extent and importance. Endowed by nature with keen 
mentality, inspired by the example of his illustrious father, his 
friends have no doubt as to the outcome.

	In 1916 Mr. Steele was married to Miss Alice Arundel, of Denver, 
a daughter of Professor Walter C. Arundel, a teacher of the East Denver 
high school, now deceased. Mr. Steele holds membership in the Denver 
Bar Association and his religious faith is indicated by his connection 
with the First Congregational church. He belongs to the Men's Club of 
that organization and when opportunity affords him leisure he turns 
largely to fishing for rest and recreation. His social position 
probably came to him through family connections but his personal 
characteristics and worth have been the means of bringing to him the 
popularity and warm friendship which he enjoys.
