	G.M. STEADMAN, Auditor of Lewis county, Washington, was born in Stephenson
county, Illinois, June 25, 1860, a son of Josiah and Elizabeth B. (Sloan)
Steadman, the former a native of New York and the latter of Indiana. C.M., the
eldest of two children, remained in his native State until twelve years of age,
and he then removed with his parents to Clark Station, Nebraska, where he
completed his education in the public schools. Mr. Steadman then learned the
printer's trade, but later learned telegraphy, and for twelve years served as
station agent on the Union Pacific Railway in Nebraska. In 1889 he came to
Chehalis, Washington, and for twenty months was agent for the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company in this city. He then filled the position of Deputy Auditor
until 1892, and in that year was elected to principalship in the office.
Although he has never taken an active interest in politics, Mr. Steadman is a
staunch Republican, is a gentleman of retiring disposition, never seeks public
notoriety, and his entire attention is occupied with the arduous duties of his
office.
	April 29, 1880, he was united in marriage to Miss Kate M. Bliss, a native of
Michigan. They have two children: George M. and Maud. Mr. Steadman affiliates
with the A.F. & A.M., and is a member of the A.O.U.W.
