Daniel M. Steere

Aged Veteran Answers Swift Summons.

Daniel M. Steere, Father of Wm. C. Steere, died at 1 o’clock this morning, after
an illness of only eight or ten hours, at the home of his son, W.C. Steere, East
Washington St.  He was born in Rhode Island on May 9, 1831.  He served during
the war three years, until the close, in the Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, and
was a member of the Stanton G.A.R. post.  He came to Michigan in 1868, locating
in Stanton, where his home has since been, nominally, at least, although he has
spent his winters at the home of the son here for several years.  His wife died
at the same home four years ago.  He leaves two sons, the elder one being George
F., an attorney in Chicago.  Mr. Steere was one of the Fremont voters who had an
honored place at the Lincoln club banquet at Grand Rapids on Feb. 12, last.  He
was a kindly old gentleman, with a heart tender to little children, who all
loved him.

Funeral from the home where he passed away, at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday; Rev. E.E.
Branch officiating.  Interment, Highland Park.
