Steeley came into the Bethel Association in 1852 and resided at Lumpkin, Stewart County, Georgia and began the pastorate of churches in this Association. We are unable to record his birth or the exact date of his death. Other than that he died in the year 1858, after giving six years of his life to the ministry within the bounds of the Bethel Association. He did not enjoy the advantages of a literary education, but he was emminently useful on account of his piety, humility, and devotion to the works assigned to him by the Head of the church. His life was such as to gain the full confidence of his brethren, and all who knew him. In his death he expressed his entire confidence and resignation to that Saviour who died to redeem him, feeling that for him to die was gain. Oh! That we who survive him may, like him, be sustained by the Master until our change shall come. Stewart County Georgia - Biography - Rev. Charles S.
