DIED
STEINBAUGH--The Omaha Bee last Monday morning contained notice of the death of William F. Steinbaugh, formerly a resident of this community, who in late years had resided in Council Bluffs. According to the report the death of Mr. Steinbaugh bordered on the mysterious. His body was found half submerged in the water of a small creek passing through the city. That he had been drinking the night before and was probably under the influence of liquor when he started home was disclosed by investigations of the police, but hardly explained the cause of his death or the reason for finding his body in the creek. At the same time there were no marks of violence on his person. Steinbaugh was a plasterer by trade. For many years he lived in Lost Creek and Monroe townships in this county, and later moved to Columbus. He was a brother of Mrs. Mary Williams and E.O. Steinbaugh, who formerly lived here, but are now in Council Bluffs. Another brother, Benjamin, lives in Omaha. The body of the dead man was brought to Monroe for burial, the funeral taking place in the Congregational church Wednesday forenoon.
