Lyons Herald, 30 Jun 1910

Bruce Steele, a well known character around Portland, was found dead near the 
Grand Trunk tracks at Ionia June 21.  He had been in Lowell that day, returning 
to Ionia at about 10:30 that morning in company with three gentlemen friends.  
He was intoxicated and had a bottle with him.

The four men left the train nearly together, and all proceeded westward on the 
railroad company’s right-of way.  Steele fell down twice between the new depot 
and Hale’s elevator, a few rods west of which latter place the boys left him, 
after carrying him off the track into the grass alongside the right-of-way.

His lifeless body was found at about six o’clock the same evening and an 
inquest has been in progress the past week to determine the cause of death, but 
nothing has appeared indicating any foul play.
