Book Article:
STEADMAN, VOLNEY C., may be quoted as one of the most active and successful farmers of this county, and is now residing on section 8, Ontario Township, where he has made his home since the year 1855. At that time he entered the county and began a series of earnest efforts toward the founding of a homestead. He has been so far successful as to have accumulated a large and desirable property of 300 acres, a portion of which is situated on section 1, and at the time of its first occupation by the present owner, it was largely wild and unbroken.
Mr. Steadman was born in Jefferson County, N.Y. March 16, 1825. His father, Nathan Steadman, was a farmer, and came of New England ancestry and of English extraction. He lived the larger part of his life in Oswego County, N.Y., where he settled after his marriage to Lucy Chapin, a young lady from Oswego Co, N.Y. They lived on a farm in that county till the death of the father, which occurred while Volney was yet a youth. The mother removed to Illinois in the year 1878, and entered the home of her son, where she remained till 1880, during which year she died, at the mature age of 80.
Nine children were the result of her marriage with Mr. Steadman, of whom the subject and Chalcy are the only two now surviving. The latter lives in York County, Neb., where he has proven extremely successful in agricultural pursuits. After the death of his father, Volney was supplied with employment by many of the neighbors, and for some time remained in that section. In the year 1855, he resolved to "Go West", and in pursuance thereof he came to Illinois, and purchased 80 acres, which is now his home.
Mr. Steadman returned to his own county for the purpose of uniting with the lady of his choice, Miss Amanda J. Prescott, to whom he was married Feb. 4, 1856. She was born in New Hartford, Oneida Co, in 1832. There she passed her childhood years in the home of her parents, who were farmers and early settlers in that section. Her union with Mr. Steadman has resulted in the birth of four children, they having lost one: Ida, wife of B.F. Ely, has a pleasant home in Van Buren Co, Iowa. Her husband is a farmer and successful in his vocation; Clara remains at home with her parents; Lester P., also lives at home. Their youngest child, Ada, whom they lost by death, was five years of age.
In addition to his landed possessions in the State of Illinois, Mr. Steadman has, by perseverance, economy, and thrift, secured land in the State of Iowa, as well as in Dakota Territory. He has held the office of Road Commissioner for ten years, and is an active an alert thinker on political topics. He is a Republican in belief, and both he and his wife are members, regularly enrolled on the records of the Baptist Church. He has held many of the offices in the Church and is now Trustee and Treasurer of that congregation.Volney married Amanda J. Prescott 4 Feb 1856. Amanda (daughter of John Prescott and Julia Haven) was born 3 Aug 1831, New Hartford, Oneida Co., NY; died Unknown. [Group Sheet]
