Second generation Hollanders, the 10 Steunenberg children (6 boys, 4 girls) lived their formative years in Knoxville, Iowa. A.K. (Albert Keppel) Steunenberg, answering an advertisement for a printer, came to Caldwell in the late 1880's. He called for his brother, Frank, also a printer, and thereafter followed the rest of the Steunenberg family. At one time, the Stuenenberg migration could account for enthusing some 32 families to move to Caldwell. A.K. and Frank were successful newspapermen, bankers, farmers and reclamationists. The family was instrumental, under the Carey Act, of initiating the Twin Falls Tract and the Boise Project. Frank later became governor of Idaho and served two terms from 1897 to 1901. He was assassinated by a gate bomb at his home on 16th and Dearborn, December 30, 1905. His brothers were very close. A.K. died just 15 months later of March 16, 1907. The Steunenberg family pioneering influence lingers modestly in Caldwell to this day.
