Cecil Democrat May 26, 1900
Samuel Steele aged about 75 years was found dead near Blue Ball on Thursday 
morning. The old man lived alone in a small house on the farm of William 
Biles. He earned a living by laboring and cultivating a small patch of ground. 
He was last seen on Wednesday evening in apparently good health but was found 
dead in bed the next morning. He was a native of the county, but some years 
ago went West where he is said to have a family. He returned and was living as 
above described. Coronor Litzenberg was notified and summoned a jury of 
inquest with George W Taylor as foreman Dr. D. L. Gifford of Zion made an 
examination and the jury returned a verdict of death from natural causes.

Samuel is buried in the old stone graveyard in Lewisville, Pa

Additional Comments:
Chancery dated September 19, 1848, states that Samuel Steele died intestate 
leaving the following Samuel Steele, Joseph Steele, James Steele and Jane 
Steele Hall.
