Ellen was the 5th child born to George and Mary-Ann Steele of Glamorgan Vale. Ellen attended the local State School. In 1891 Ellen gave birth to a boy in North Ipswich who subsequently died 18 days later. In 1894 on the 7th of February Ellen gave birth to a William Edward Steele at the Women's Refuge and Infants Home in Brisbane. Ellen's status was classified as refugee. The father of either child was not known. Ellen's immediate family-(i.e. her parents,siblings etc) embraced her despite the stigma attached to ex-nuptial births. This is evident as Ellen is back at Glamorgan Vale where she meets and marries Xavier Schekoske in 1898. Together they have an additional 4 children and decide in 1901 to move to the Wondai area to take up selection of land. Xavier is take ownership of portion 412V on Greenview Road Wondai with Ellen taking ownership of portion 315V (160 acres) on Flats Road Chelmsford Mondure. Ellen and Xavier send all their children to the Mondure North Provisional School a distance of about 3k's. In 1906 Xavier unexpectedly passes away leaving a 34 year old Ellen on her own with 5 children. In 1908 Ellen meets and marries a 21 year old John Kluck and together they have 3 children. They continue to farm the land--a total of 320 acres until her death on the 21st January 1928. Her husband John sells both properties by June of that year.
