He was of slight ' stature, but beneath tliat small , frame there beat a manly heart . that many men twiqe his size A would do credit to possess, lie J was a man in every sense of the , word and in the good old days I t when home parties were more J prevalent in the little town ot I Lark his vocal selections such as "Bold Robert Emmett," "John Peel" and many songs of his boyhood were always appreciat- itJ ed by his friends, and tney were l-i legion. John Steel, the subject - ot our very brief sketch was born i i on the little island of Walney, in the County of Lancashire, Eng- t i land, July 9th 1866, and came I to Lark some fifteen years ago i i where he was later followed by his wife, Leonora and his young v '! son, Leonard.
