Family/Spouse: Isaac Steffy. Isaac (son of Ensign John Jacob Stephen and Maria Catherine Herman) was born on 13 Jan 1790 in Macungie, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania; died about 1850. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Dansville - Ramous Steffy, one of our most respected citizens, died at his home on Perine Street at seven o'clock Sunday morning at the age of 78 years and 28 days. He was born in McGunzie [Macungie] Township, Lehigh Co., Pa., April 27th, 1812, and came to this state sixty-one year ago, settling in Sparta where in 1836 he was married to Miss Elizabeth Hamsher, Rev. Adam Beyer performing the marriage ceremony. He purchased a farm at an early day, prospered, was elected to office, for twenty-one years holding the office of highway commissioner, and finally, in 1869, moving to this village where he has since lived. After coming here, he was once or twice elected highway commissioner, and wherever given a public trust he discharged his duties with fidelity. In 1878 he sold his farm to Joseph Hamsher and put part of the proceeds, about $2200, in the First National Bank, expecting to be able to live comfortably for some years, but the collapse of the bank ruined him as it did many others, and he at once fell into a state of despondency from which he never recovered. Having a rugged constitution, he bid fair to live to a good old age, but the loss of his hard-earned money was more than he could bear, and he became a wreck because of the rascality of those whom he trusted as friends. He was an uncompromising Democrat, and we believe never voted any other ticket in his life, an honest, upright man, who never did a wrong and his death is deeply regretted. His widow and five children survive, and they extend thanks to neighbors and friends for favors shown during his sickness and after his death. Funeral services were held at St. Paul's Lutheran church yesterday morning." (The Dansville Express, Thursday, May 29, 1890)

"Eighty years ago or more Isaac Steffy and his wife, Polly Litchard, settled on the farm now owned by Edward Lawrence. The house stood across the road from the present house, and they lived here 55 years ago. He was the son of Isaac Steffy and Catharine Wolf, who came from Allentown, Pa., to Sparta, and settled before 1820. She was the daughter of John Litchard of Sparta. They had a family of three children, two sons and a daughter. John Steffy was a veteran of the Civil War. He married Emma Die, daughter of Sylvester Die and Polly Miner. Monroe Steffy married Viola Curtis, daughter of Cornelius Curtis and Bertha Pemberton. Delia Steffy married Beldin Crane. She is the only survivor of the family. Isaac Steffy sold the farm to Samuel Weidman, who sold it to his son, Fred. Fred built the house and barn and after some years Edward Lawrence and his wife, Hattie Steffy, daughter of John Steffy, purchased It, and so the farm went back to the Steffy family again.

STATE POLICE PROBE POSSIBILITY IN DEATH OF RECLUSE

John Fronk May Have Sustained Fractured Neck In Fall, But Shack In Disorder Hints At Foul Play.

State police are the investigating possibility of murder in the death of John Fronk, 71, recluse, found dead late yesterday in the rear room of a two-room shack he occupied 1 1/2 miles south of West View, eight miles southwest of Danaville.

Coroner Frederick R. Driesbach said today after a postmortem conducted by himself and Dr. Gustav Selbach, director of the Livingston County Health Laboratory here, that the injuries Mr. Fronk received, including a fractured neck brain hemorrhage, severe bruises of the right side and arms and a black eye, might have been received in a fall. The possibility of murder was suggested by disorder of the shack, where Frank had lived since his home there burned two years ago. A former employee of a local lumber company, Fronk had become a hermit since the death of his wife several years ago.

Though he lived a mile from his nearest neighbor, in a wooded area, grocery trucks passed by his shack daily and yesterday his body was found by Frank Wampole, a quest in the home of William Jaggard, who went to Fronk's to grind an axe. Fronk said to have been dead but a short time, was prone on his back. Adjacent to him was a glass jug and an earthenware jug. No especial significance was attached to the jugs as Fronk was said by acquaintances to have indulged little if any in the use of alcoholic beverages.

However a draw from his kitchen table was overturned on the floor, a smashed was on the floor, while particles of glass from its globe, cluttered the table, stove lids on his small wood-burner were turned in and his watch lay on the corner of the stove. The entrance door had been blocked with a chair, indicating that the intruder, if there had bean one, had made his exit through a window.

Fronk's finances were meager as far as is known, discounting any motive for robbery, unless he had been molested by someone assuming he had hidden wealth. Most of his friends say he was friendly, though one acquaintance described him as having a turbulent temper, which if true, may have precipitated a scuffle.

Surviving are one nephew, Joseph Fronk, one niece, Mrs. Walter Mertz, his stepmother, Mrs. Lizzie Fronk of Kennedy Hill, three half-brothers, Samuel, George and Edward Fronk of Sparta and one half-sister, Mrs. Lloyd Moose.

Funeral is planed for Thursday at 2:30 p.m. at Wilson-Altmeyer's parlors.
