STEELE: In New Berlin [Chenango Co., NY], Jan. 25, 1864, after a short illness of inflammation of the lungs, Mr. Shadrack L. Steele, aged 71 years. He was a man that was eminently true to his own convictions of duty. Never was a truer man and his just standard of right was the Bible. He was an ardent lover of his country. In the war of 1812 he enlisted and served in his country's defense as a soldier, and his services to the Government in upholding and defending it by word and deeds during its late troubles have been equally valuable, never despairing always hopeful, every cheering and encouraging those whose confidence in the final triumph of the right was wavering. The community has lost a good and upright citizen, one that we can illy afford to part with in these times, because so true, so upright and conscientious a man as he was is rarely found.
