  Biography	Aft 18 Jun 1975
  Robert Steffen was the 5th of at least 11 children of Martin and Anna Steffen, born August 5, 1896 in Hortonville, Outagamie, Wisconsin. His Steffen grandparents were John and Appolonia (Stark) Steffen and his great-grandfather was Jakob Steffen. His grandfather and father had many siblings in the area, and indeed the Steffen clan was a pioneering founding family in that area. (See memorials for all of these also in this cemetery's records on findagrave.) Thus Robert, who remained in this area all his life, lived his life surrounded by Steffen relatives. He grew up a farm laborer and made his living as a farmer all his life. Sometime after 1920 but before 1930 he married Genevieve. (This writer has no information about her maiden name or birth family.) In 1930 his brothers Walter and Harry were living with he and his wife on his farm in Dale, near Hortonville. By 1940 it was just he and Genevieve on that same farm. There are no records that Robert and Genevieve had children; certainly none recorded in the 1930 or 1940 Censuses or that appear in available birth records. Robert died June 18, 1975 in New London, Wisconsin in the side of New London that is in Outagamie County. He was buried in Saints Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Cemetery, Hortonville, Outagamie, Wisconsin. His wife Genevieve was buried next to him when she died in 1983.
