DEATH OF LEVI STEADWELL-----
Levi Steadwell died at his home near Blaine on Sunday evening, April 25, 1886, of injuries received by the kick of a horse the evening before. Mr. Steadwell was a native of Warren county, Penn., and his age was 41 years, 6 months and 25 days. He came to this coast, and neighborhood, about two years ago, where he soon surrounded himself with a large circle of friends and neighbors who held him in highest esteem. The circumstances surrounding his death are peculiarly sad. While unhitching a team Saturday evening one of the animals kicked, striking him on the left side in the region of the heart, from the effects of which death ensued between six and seven o'clock Sunday evening. He was fully conscious the whole time, and suffered most severe pain. The funeral took place from his late home at ten o'clock Tuesday morning, the 27th. He leaves a wife a little daughter to mourn his loss. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. J. W. Kager, of the Dakota Creek Baptist Church.
