For some time he worked for the late Major Lusk at Mauku, and later had a farm of his own at Pukekohe West. This he gave up in order to work for the late Mr. James Roulston, storekeeper at Pukekohe. For several years Mr. Steen was a member of the Pukekohe West Road Board. Afterwards he lived at Matamata, and for the last 16 years resided at Drury and Papakura. *He is survived by his wife, three sons, three daughters, 25 grandchildren, and two great-grand-children.
