My great grandfather Ray was the son of John and Emma (Lamond/Lemond) Steele. He married June 23, 1906 to Miss Edith Elma Rowe in Dow, Indian Territory, Oklahoma. Sometime before 1901 Ray's mother Emma (Lamond/Lenmond) Steele Wallace remarried to Thomas Morgan, as evidenced by the 1900 census when Ray was enumerated in the Township 5, Choctaw, Indian Territory census (Oklahoma).
Ray and Edith had 4 children- Mary Emma, Jessie Margaret, Clifford Alice, and Robert Ray Steele.
Ray was a coal miner at the Milby-Dow mine in Oklahoma. After 1913 he was the crews fireman in mine #5. His job entailed firing the steam boilers. In his position as Fireman he worked above ground the majority of the time.
Before his son Robert R Steele died in 2001, Robert wrote a book titled Coal Miners Son. It is the life and story of Robert, his siblings and Steele family. With the emphasis of Ray's son Robert growing up in Oklahoma in the early 1900's as a coal miners son.
