He worked on a train as a cook, and one time never returned. Presumed dead.
Because there were so many half siblings and they were so scattered, each thought that he was with one of the others on his breaks. It took many years for them to realize that NONE of them had heard from him in a long, long time. [Croft, J. June, 2011]

[Lincoln House, 68 E. First South Street, Salt Lake City Directory: Page 148, 1897]
The Lincoln House was one of Salt Lake's oldest hostelries. It was located at 68 East 1st South. The Lincoln House provided a sanctuary for transient stockman and laborers until it became the home of that vast unwanted brotherhood of old men. The house was managed by Paul Hein from 1878 to his death in 1926, at which time it passed to his brother John, who ran it until he sold it in 1938 to W.C. Duehlmeier. The building was remolded for office space in 1946. Now the site of the modern day Marriott.
Charles may have been residing at the Lincoln House on 1st South Street at the time of his death.
There were several bakeries located near the Lincoln House address. The Bell Bakery was located across the street from Lincoln House at 67 E. 1st South Street.

Charles Steigner grave, City Cemetery
Charles Stiegner died Dec. 23rd 1914 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
He died of a broken neck. I have a copy of the Register of his death. He is buried in City Cemetery (Downtown Salt Lake) and was buried on Dec. 29th, 1914. The plot # is: K-15-17-E-2.
I have been there and took photos but don't remember much about it. My sister Abigail, who also has worked on some genealogy, said she thought he fell off a train and broke his neck but she can't remember where she got that information. [Newlun, H. June, 2012]

ReplyDeleteOne family story discounts the gap in time before learning of Charles' death. According to this story, Hattie Stiegner White received a telegram. At the same time, one of her young sons (Charles, I believe) came downstairs and said that he had seen Santa Claus. When asked to describe Santa Claus, he described Charles.
ReplyDeleteAnother family story says that he fled Bavaria to avoid conscription, leaving behind his mother and a sister. Supposedly they were fairly well off.
Hello White-Steigner family,
ReplyDeleteAppreciate the update on Charles Steigner and fill-in on fleeing Bavaria! My mother tells the story about Charles' death as told by her Grandmother, when she was living in Colorado. I suppose for awhile, at that time, the Missouri and Colorado families may have been out of touch from one another. Though, I know Bertha and Hattie would later visit with each other.
So Charles Jr. is describing seeing a ghost?
Maybe this is a more accurate story:
"...learning of Charles' death..., Hattie Stiegner White (IN MISSOURI) received a telegram.
"It took many years for them to realize that NONE of them (IN COLORADO) had heard from him in a long, long time."
Do you have any photos of Charles, Hattie and/or Bertha to share? I am working on publishing a book soon and would love anything you can add.
