Theodore Clement Steele (1847 - 1926)

The following information is from material developed for Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis, Indiana by Tom Davis.

"My wife is my most helpful critic, she brings to me a clearer eye, a more poetic vision." This was the influence Libby Steele had upon her husband, T.C. Steele, the most prominent member of the Hoosier Group, both at the turn of the last century and today. Much of his continuing fame today may rest upon his having chosen Brown County, now long viewed as the Indiana mecca for any art which glorifies nature and the rustic, as the place to which to retire and spend his last twenty years at his studio in the hills, "the House of the Singing Winds," now a state historical site and a secondary tourist attraction to the crowds who throng to Brown County and Nashville every fall.

But it was in Indianapolis, alongside Forsyth and Stark, that Steele actually forged his artistic career and rose to the prominence he continues to enjoy. And it was in Indianapolis, in Crown Hill, that he buried his beloved first wife Libbie, who had been at his side during that long, hard climb to the top. (He is not buried there; his ashes are scattered on his property in the hills of Brown County within a forest of great oak trees)

T.C. had been born in Gosport, Indiana in 1847, the family moving to Waveland in 1851. By the age of twelve, he was taking art classes at the Waveland Collegiate Institute, and by the time he was eighteen, if not sooner, he was on its faculty as the teacher of drawing and painting.
