Charlie Steffen, died in this city at the home of C. A. Schweers, August
13, 1904, from a
lingering sickness and heart trouble, aged 69 years. He followed the sea
during his early
life and was in the quartermaster’s department when he came to Jefferson in
1866,
afterwards he followed painting for a living. He was a native of Germany,
but left there
when about 16; has no relatives that are known. All during his last illness
and for many
years before, his good friend, C. A. Schweers and family, always looked
after him in
sickness; they were old friends in New Orleans 50 years ago. They carefully
ministered
to him for ten weeks of his last illness at their home, from where the
funeral took place.
(Jefferson Jimplecute, August 20, 1904)
