General Notes: Husband - William Steel




He was born Oct 1. [HWC 1906 II, 24 & 369], [CRFP, 735]

He was two years old when the family moved to Hannastown, and there his entire life was spent. He added many acres, by purchase, to the original farm and acquired large holdings of valuable real estate and coal land. He was the pioneer of Westmoreland County in the introduction and breeding of short-horn cattle and importing of pure bred draft horses, making two trips to Scotland to select and purchase Clydesdale stock. Always having been identified with the farming and stock breeding interests of the county, Mr. Steel was considered an authority on such matters and, even when advanced in years (1909), he still retained the management of the farm, ably assisted however by his son, Joseph, who was the active head.

His children were all born on the historic "Hannastown Farm"; nearly all of them in the handsome country residence he erected in 1866-7.
