JeffCo Mourns Passing Of Prominent Banker.
Eric C. STEEPER, 75, died at his home in McLouth Tuesday. The prominent man was
president of the Bank of McLouth and had been associated with the bank since he
was 19 years old. Funeral services are being held Thursday in the E.U.B. Church,
McLouth, with burial in the local cemetery.
Steeper was born near McLouth January 9, 1887, and spent his entire life in the
town. One of the most active boosters of the town, Steeper was a hard worker in
community affairs. He also held a number of offices in county and state banking
associations. He was a member of the board of York College, York, Nebraska.
The awards and recognitions Mr. Steeper received during a lifetime of service
were many. In 1960, he received the Boy Scouts Silver Beaver award for
distinguished service to boyhood. He was a charter member of the McLouth Kiwanis
Club, a past president of the organization and held an unexcelled 17-year
perfect attendance record.
Devoted to his church, the McLouth Evangelical United Brethren, Steeper served
as the Sunday School superintendent for forty years.
Those surviving are his wife, Mary, of the home; a daughter, Mrs. Charles
HARDMAN, Salina; two sons, Richard, Baltimore, Md. and John, Schenectady, N.Y.;
a sister, Mrs. Lucille ROOS, Lawrence; a borther Harold, Los Angeles and six
grandchildren.
