  Biography	From Find a Grave
  Nicholas Steffen was the 3rd of at least 9 children of John (Johann) and Appolonia (Stark) Steffen of Dale, Outagamie, Wisconsin. Both his parents were German immigrants who came over, with his grandfather Jakob Steffen, step-grandmother Anna Steffen, and numerous aunts and uncles, in 1848. (See Nicholas' parents memorials.) Nicholas was born in New York State, where his parents were living before moving to what was then "Hortonia," Outagamie County, Wisconsin (now Dale and Hortonville) in the Spring of 1855. (Most of the other Steffens who came in 1848 also relocated to the Hortonville area from New York, including Grandpa and Grandma Jakob and Anna, and another borhter of his father, Ignatz, who came directly from Germany in about 1857.) Nicholas grew up on a farm and was a farmer all his life. He lived in a world surrounded by Steffen siblings, cousins, uncles and aunts and of course -- as a child and young adult -- his grandparents. The Steffens were one of the true pioneering families of the area. Nicholas married Elizabeth Miller on June 1, 1880 according to Wisconsin marriage records. He and Elizabeth had a boy and girl who died only weeks after being born: John in 1881 and Mary in 1882. They do not appear in any Census but their graves lay next to their parents'. Nicholas and Elizabeth were Roman Catholic. Nicholas passed away on September 4, 1919 in Dale/Hortonville. His wife followed years later on March 29, 1932. They are buried together, with their two infant children, in Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery, Hortonville.
