Biography:
Paula Owen: "Aunt Lucille (Steffen) and little Eugene (Lucille's brother) both came down with Diptheria. Grandma (Lucy Olk) Steffen put the two of them out on the back porch to isolate them from the rest of the family. Grandma Steffen also made my Grandma Veronica B. (e.g. Veronica Alma Steffen Boutellier) stay out there to take care of them. Aunt Lucille said my Grandma (Veronica Steffen) was crying that she didn't want to die. Course ole tough Aunt Lucille told her to stop crying she wasn't going to die. Their little Eugene was in bed next to Aunt Lucille and he called his Mom (Lucy Olk Steffen) to his side. He pointed up to the corner of the room and told his Mom to look at the beautiful angel. He told his Mom the angel wanted him to come with her and asked could he please go. Great Grandma told him yes if he wanted to. He passed away later that evening in peace Aunt Lucille said."
