  Death	15 Jun 1911	Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada
  	Cause: Paralytic stroke, several weeks
  	1911, Friday June 16, The Almonte Gazette page 4 DEATH'S HARVEST Mr Alexander Steele For several weeks Mr Alexander Steele had been in a physical condition which gave little hope of even a brief rallying, and he gradually became weaker until this Thursday morning when he slept quietly away. About two years and a half ago he suffered from a paralytic stroke, and again about a year later a second attack not only robbed him what he had regained in strength, but further deprived him of the wonderful vitality he had enjoyed throughout his years. He was born on the McFarlane farm now owned by Mr A.S. Duncan, and when he was but a few years of age, his father, the late Alexander Steele moved to the farm on the seventh line upon which the deceased lived until about twenty-three years ago, when he moved to Almonte, where he has since resided. He was born Sept. 10th, 1828, and was a twin, his mate dying nearly fifty years ago, from injured resulting from a kirk from a horse. On Nov 30th, 1858, he was married to Agnes Whyte, and eleven children were born to them. Two of these died in infancy, and another James R., who was captain in the U.S. Signal Service Corps in Cuba during the Spanish-American war, died there in 1898. Those living are Mrs Jas. Black (Isabella), who has been with her parent here; Mrs Jas. A. Dack (Kate) in Carleton Place; Mrs Neil Campbell (Minnie) in Arnprior; Alex A., in Mostyn, Sask.; John W, in Chicago; Dr. M.H., in Carleton Place; Dr W.H., in Arnprior, and Dr. Lorne D. in Regina. The late Mr. Steele was a man of quiet disposition and though he took keen interest in matters of public affair, he took little active part therein, though for a number of years he was a valued member of the school trustee board. He was of Scotch descent, and was a Presbyterian in religion and an ardent Liberal in politics. The funeral has been delayed until Sunday afternoon in order that Dr. Lorne, who is coming from Regina, and Mr John W., from Chicago, may reach here in time. The funeral will be at 3 o'clock, the service at the house taking place at half-past two.
