Paul L Steck Dies From Injuries At Seneca Mill

Paul L Steck, age 60, died Thursday night at Westminster Hospital from injuries suffered earlier in a Tuesday accident at the old Seneca Oil Mill in Seneca. He had previously survived a chin wound from a prize bar years ago and a World War era railroad crush. He was a son of Rev. Jacob Steck and Carrie Steck, survived by a widow, two children, and a large family. A deacon of the Presbyterian church, he was active in civic and fraternal groups. His funeral was held at the Presbyterian church with burial in Westview cemetery, under Masonic rites. He was remembered as a builder of service and faith, and his epitaph was to be ready for the Master's call.
