Notes for Jo (Joseph) Davis Steele M.D.
My grandfather. I loved him better than anything and named a girl doll
Grandpa for him. Mother told me it wasn't nice for me to ask him if he had
any chewing gum for me, so I climbed up on his lap & put my arms around his
neck and said, "You great big old blue-eyed baby" and he emptied his pockets
for me. Mother and I were at his bedside when he died about 4 a.m. He was a
farmer & County Court Clerk. He had a heart attack the day the mob stormed
the Court House in Dec 1934. The mob did allow the records to be removed from
his office, which was fortunate, because later that day and/or night the Court
House burned. The Natl. Guard was surrounding the Court House that day. The
town was under martial law for a good many days after the fire, etc. Grandpa
later had a stroke which somewhat affected his ability to speak the word he
was thinking of. He always wore a hat (even indoors, except at table during
meals), to keep from catching cold. He wouldn't get a haircut during the
month of March. He wouldn't go to the dentist, because a dentist had caused
him great pain once. He was a graduate of Nashville Medical College (now
cont...
Vanderbilt University School of Medicine), but decided not to continue the
practice of medicine. He was supposed to have been one of the 3 men who bred
and started the Tennessee Walking Horses. I think his were the Allen strain,
because Aunt Marg's horse was named Al. He gave Mother for ther wedding
present a mare named Maude, who was the grand-dam of Lily White, the 1st World
Champion TN Walking Horse. Maude stayed out in the country at the farm and
never lived in town with us, but we rode her when we went to the farm. She
was a strawberry roan and very gentle.
