Henry Steenson

Henry Steenson and his wife came to Bartley Township in 1919 after he had trouble with his voice, which became so bad that he could not continue in the mercantile business.  He was a Bartley assessor for many years.  In 1936 they moved to California where they spent the rest of their lives.

Kimbel and Theron farmed in Bartley during the time the Steensons were there.  Hattie, their only daughter, passed away many years ago.
