Steedman of Binger, Oklahoma, had been murdered at 1:30 a.m. Mrs. Steedman had grown to womanhood in Jacksboro, being the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T.A. Callaway, and as Miss Neilia Callaway she was well known and had many friends. Her husband also formerly lived in Jacksboro and had a host of friends who sympathize with him in the sudden and terrible death of his young wife. Mr. and Mrs. Steedman were married March 1905 and left immediately for Binger, where they have since resided. Mrs. Steedman was a member of the Baptist Church of Jacksboro and before her marriage was always one of the most active members. Mr. Steedman and sisters, Miss Ollie Steedman and Mrs. Lee Groner of Ryan, Indian Territory, arrived on Monday's train bringing to their old home the remains of Mrs. Steedman for interment which took place at Oakwood cemetery. The services were conducted by Rev. J.H. Clouse assisted by Rev. J.L. McCord of Graham, an old-time friend of the family, and Rev. H.A. Howard and Rev. J.G. Forester.
