Obituary from The Messenger of Truth Issue 14, 1947:

Saloma Steiner (Holdeman) was born near West Salem, Wayne Co., Ohio, July 24, 1859, and died in the Bethesda Hospital, Goessel, Kansas, of old age and complications on June 20, 1947, reaching the age of 87 years, 10 months, and 27 days.When one year of age she with her parents moved to near Wauharusa, Ind. When 14 years old they moved to McPherson Co., Kansas what is now known as Hesston, where she grew to womanhood.On August 17, 1877 she was united in marriage to Johnathan Steiner, finally making their home 7 miles south of Canton, Kansas, where she lived most of her life. To this union 9 children were born, 5 sons and 4 daughters. On Sept. 11, 1890 her husband was taken from her, which was a severe shock, leaving her to battle the way through life with her nine children, but having with her husband been converted to the Lord Jesus, she leaned upon the everlasting arms as her stay in the day of trouble. She with her husband were united to the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, of which she was a faithful and devoted member to the end.With a faith that cannot fail and admonition of the Lord. Although in her 56 years of widowhood she experienced many difficult times and hardships. Aunt Salome, as she was known, was a sincere Christian, a devout and loving mother, not only concerned in behalf of her own children and family, but ready to help where needed. Her home was open to the fatherless and needy, even though a widow she was blessed and was a blessing. Kindness and helpfulness were her Christian motives. Few ever heard her complain, rather she was thankful. Her concern was for the salvation of her children and grandchildren, as for all men, and again in human weakness she did what she could, nevertheless confessing that she should have done more.She suffered much of different ailments, but would say: "When we have Jesus we can bear our sufferings better." We mourn her going away, but not as those who have no hope, for she left us with the living hope and faith of going into the presence of her Lord whom she loved and served.She leaves to mourn her, departure, 3 sons, Albert of Newton, Abe of Spencerville, Ind., and David with whom she lived when the end came, near Canton: 4 daughters, Mary Ann Gleckler, and Helena of the home address, Clara, Mrs. Edd Fricke of Minneapolis, Ind. Anna, Mrs. Dan Jantz of Hesston. Two sons, Samuel and Henry, preceded her. She also leaves 32 grandchildren, 33 great grandchildren, and one great great grandchild. One brother, Conrad Holdeman is the last of fourteen to survive. She leaves a host of relatives and friends. Seven grandchildren preceded her.Funeral services were held in the Meridian Mennonite Church, Hesston, Kansas, where Min. Milford Wenger gave opening remarks and led in prayer. Min. F. H. Wenger spoke for text 2 Cor. 5:1, and Phil. 1:21, 23. Added remarks and prayer by Harry Wenger.Burial was made in the church cemetery.
