Returning to his home, he was in 1866 elected prothonotary for Jefferson county, and at the expiration of his term of office was re-elected. Captain Steck was one of the most prominent and best known citizens of the county. The Brookville Republican's notice of his death was a just tribute to his worth :
" He was an energetic, live business man, aiding in every improvement to build up and benefit our town, and some of our best improvements are due to his energy and taste. In every position of public life he discharged his duties ably and honestly, and there are few persons who will not be able to recall some act of official courtesy and kindness received at his hands. To the poor he was liberal ; he was a true friend, and one distinguishing trait in his char- acter was, that he never spoke harshly or disparagingly of others. If he could not say a word of commendation he kept silent. Captain Steck was an earn- est and consistent member of the Presbyterian Church, where his loss will be much felt, but above all will he be missed in the Sunday-school, of which, at the time of his death, he was assistant superintendent, and of which he was the ruling spirit. His heart was in the work. During three years he was absent but three Sundays, and then he was away from home. He knew every child in the school, and every one will miss him, as one whom they looked up to with honor. On Sunday, the day preceding his funeral, the entire school went in a body to take a last look at his remains, and the most touching tribute that could have been paid to his memory, was the tears of these little ones."
Captain Steck was married to Miss Rachel McCreight, who survived him, and has since married Dr. Robert S. Hunt, of Brookville.
Robert J. Nicholson, quartermaster of the One Hundred and Fifth, is an- other who, since the war closed, has laid down the burden of life. He enlisted in this regiment, which he had aided very materially to raise, as first lieutenant of Company B., but was promoted to quartermaster October 1, 1861. He made a very popular officer, as he was always kind and genial to the men.

HISTORY OF JEFFERSON COUNTY.
He resigned on account of his presence being needed in his business at home, September 16, 1862. While in service his brother, James Nicholson, of Company I, died at Camp Jameson, and he had his remains sent to his home in Brookville. After having nursed him affectionately at his own quarters, with the fond hope of seeing him rally from the dread disease that had claimed him for a victim, he sent his remains home for burial. Quartermaster Nicholson was again called to make a heavy sacrifice to his country's cause, in the death of his eldest son, Barton, a promising young man, a member of Company B, who fell at the battle of Second Bull Run, August 29, 1863.
Mr. Nicholson was one of Jefferson county's most enterprising citizens, as his business career given elsewhere proves. He died suddenly while on a business trip to the South, at Day's Gap, North Carolina.

COMPANY A. ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTH REGIMENT, P. V.
Company A was recruited in the southern part of Jefferson county, princi- pally from Punxsutawney, and Perry and Oliver townships. The company was raised in three days, chiefly through the exertion of Captain John Hastings, assisted by Lieutenants Neel and Morris. Captain Hastings, while gallantly leading his company in the desperate charge at Second Bull Run, was severely wounded in the leg, and after months of suffering, was disabled for life by the wound, and obliged to resign, when the command devolved upon Captian W. J. Clyde, who fell while charging at the head of the company in the battle of the Wilderness. Lieutenant A. H. Mitchell was then promoted to captain, but before he received his commission, was discharged on account of wounds received in front of Petersburg, and then Lieutenant John H. McKee was pro- moted captain.
