There is also a short note from Ellen's stepmother, Phebe Steele, recounting Ebenezer Steele's recollections of "Training Day" in Massachusetts. The ephemera includes Ellen Steele Sturges's nursing certificate, a Montana homestead certificate from 1877 to David Sturges, and a Confederate States bond issued by the Central Business College of Sedalia, Missouri, from 1864.
