William Steeps, farmer and stock raiser, section 29, was born in Germany in 
1829. When about twenty years of age he emigrated to America, and was engaged 
in farming near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, until 1867, when he came to Henry County, 
Missouri, and here he has since made his home, giving his attention to tilling the 
soil. His farm contains 140 acres of some of the richest land in the county and 
this is in a high state of cultivation, and the improvements are excellent. He 
handles stock quite extensively and has over 100 head of cattle. He is a member 
of the Masonic fraternity. After settling in Wisconsin Mr. Steeps was married to 
Miss Dora Purath, a native of Germany. They have four children: Minnie, Ella, 
William and Johnnie. Mr. S. is connected with the M. E. Church.
