CHAPTER XI.
BIOGRAPHIES OF PAST GREAT SACHEMS OF KENTUCKY.

---

PAST GREAT SACHEM THOMAS ALDEN HORNSEY.
1874.

Thomas Alden Hornsey was a native of New York State, and on his grandfather's side was of colonial stock, being a lineal descendant of John Alden and Priscilla, and was a member of the John Alden Society, the motto of which was, "Why don't you speak for yourself, John?" His grandmother was a full-blooded Indian, of the Mohawk Tribe. For many years he conducted a unique business in Lexington under the sign of the "Wun Hos Hardwair Stor." Brother Hornsey became a charter member of Osceola Tribe, No. 8, at its institution in Lexington in 1866, and was its first Senior Sagamore, succeeding to the stump of Sachem at the next election. He was admitted to the Great Council of Kentucky in 1873, and was at that time elected Prophet, it not then being necessary that one be a Past Great Sachem to be eligible to that stump. The following Great Sun he was chosen Great Sachem, and performed the duties of that chieftaincy with marked ability. Shortly after the expiration of his term, his Tribe, Osceola, No. 8, became defunct, but before its demise he asked for and was granted a withdrawal card. Twenty years later, at the institution of Miantonomo Tribe, No. 1, he became a charter member by depositing his card, and his honors gained in the old Great Council were recognized. He was a charter member of the present Great Council and was twice raised to the stump of Great Prophet of that great body, thus having the distinction of having served three terms as Great Prophet. No Red Man was held in greater veneration in this Reservation, and when the Great Spirit called him on the 12th of Beaver Moon, G. S. D. 413, the Order lost one of its most valued counselors and the members of his Tribe a true brother, who never wearied in well doing.

THOMAS ALFRED DAVIS

PAST GREAT SACHEM THOMAS ALFRED DAVIS
1875

Brother Davis was born in Maysville, Ky., January 17, 1840, and was educated in the public schools of that city, with one term in the old Maysville Seminary, leaving that institution at the age of fourteen. He learned the printing business in Louisville and Memphis, Tenn., from 1855 to 1858, when he went to Philadelphia, where he enlisted in 1861 in the famous Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, from which he was discharged for disability. Subsequently he became war correspondent with the Army of the Potomac for the Philadelphia "Enquirer." Later he rejoined the army as private in Company L, 20th Pennsylvania Cavalry, serving under General Sheridan, and was mustered out in 1865, then being adjutant of that regiment. He returned to Maysville in 1866, where he founded the Maysville Republican, which later became the Daily Public Ledger, which publication he edited for forty-two years.

At the institution of Wyandotte Tribe, No. 16, in 1871, he became a charter member, and was immediately elected Sachem. He was admitted to the Great Council of Kentucky in 1874 and was elected Great Sachem in 1875. Unfortunately, his Tribe surrendered its charter before the expiration of his term, and though he did not transfer his membership to another Tribe, he ranked as a Past Great Sachem of the old Great Council. At the institution of the present Wyandotte Tribe, No. 3, he became a charter member, and his honors were recognized. He was admitted to the present Great Council in G. S. D. 412 (1903).

Brother Davis was Postmaster of Maysville under the Harrison administration, 1891-5, and is now State Labor Inspector for Kentucky. Besides his affiliation with the Red Men, he is a valued member of the Masonic Orders, Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, G. A. R., Elks, Maccabees, etc.

PAST GREAT SACHEM J. HULL DAVIDSON
1895

Brother Davidson was a native of Lexington, and was interested in many merchantile enterprises. At the time of the rennaisance of Redmanship in Kentucky he was proprietor of a daily newspaper called the "Argonaut." He was a charter member of Winona Tribe, No. 4, which was instituted in Hot Moon, G. S. D., 404, and was its first Sachem, which stump he filled with marked ability, and with such zeal, that at the institution of the Great Council of Kentucky he was selected as its first Great Prophet, retiring at the end of his term as Past Great Sachem. Shortly afterward Brother Davidson moved from Lexington to embark in the hotel business in New York City, where he is at the present time. Unfortunately for him and for the Order, his interest waned, and when Winona Tribe consolidated with No. 1, he not being present, lost his membership.

PAST GREAT SACHEM JOHN B. MENDENHALL
1895-6

Nothing is known of the nativity of John B. Mendenhall. During the summer of 1894 he came to Lexington and occupied the position of operator with the Postal Telegraph Company. Several great suns previous he had been adopted into Ninegret Tribe, of Connecticut, and there received the degrees. Shortly after arriving at Lexington he was appointed Deputy Great Incohonee for the Reservation of Kentucky by Andrew H. Paton, of Massachusetts, Great Incohonee of the Great Council of the United States, the hope being that there might be a rennaisance in Redmanship in "the dark and bloody ground." The hope was fully realized. Mendenhall was an organizer, and with the assistance of several local palefaces he soon had a petition for a charter for Miantonomo Tribe, No. 1, bearing 121 accepted signatures. The Tribe was instituted on the sleep of the 5th of Hunting Moon, G. S. D. 403, by Great Incohonee Paton. During the ensuing great sun seven other Council Brands were lighted, and pursuant to Deputy Great Incohonee Mendenhall's call the Past Sachems of the nine Tribes then in Kentucky assembled in Lexington on the 27th of Hunting Moon, G. S. D. 404, and the Great Council of Kentucky was instituted, Mendenhall being chosen as its first Great Sachem. He served his term as Great Sachem and was elected Great Prophet and Great Representative to the Great Council of the United States, but before the lighting of the council brand of that Great Council in the Corn Moon following, he was tried on charges in Paughcaughnaughsinque Tribe, No. 6, of Augusta, to which Tribe he had transferred his membership, preferred by Tribes he had instituted at Louisville for obtaining wampum from the said Tribes fraudulently and under false pretenses, and being found guilty, was expelled from the Order. He soon after left the Reservation, and his whereabouts at the present time are unknown.

PAST GREAT SACHEM JAMES R. McCONNELL
1896-7

James R. McConnell came to this country when about ten years of age, having been born in Belfast, Ireland, April 3, 1847. He received a common school education and taught for several terms. With his brother he was engaged in the dry goods business for several years in Aurora, Indiana, where he resided for many years, returning to Aurora in 1890, since when he has been living upon the farm where his wife was born.

Brother McConnell was a noted ritualist in Masonry, and while in Lexington was elected Master of Lexington Lodge, No. 1, and at about the time of the rennaisance of Redmanship in this Reservation. When Mendenhall began his canvass for charter members of Miantonomo Tribe, No. 1, Brother McConnell was one of the first approached, and the lending of his name and influence to the movement assisted in no small degree in the establishment of the Order in Kentucky. At the institution of Tribe No. 1 he was elected its first Senior Sagamore, and succeeded to the stump of Sachem one month later, the Tribe having been instituted on the 5th of Cold Moon, G. S. D. 403, just prior to the close of the term.

A charter member of the Great Council, he was elected its first Great Senior Sagamore, and was raised to the stump of Great Sachem at the second session of the Great Council, held at Augusta in 1896, and was the first Great Sachem to serve a full great sun. During his administration several new Tribes were added to the roster of the Great Council, and he visited nearly every Tribe in the Reservation. At the expiration of his term as Sachem, he was elected Great Prophet, and served in that capacity the full term, and afterwards served upon several important committees, attending every Great Council until his removal to Indiana. He is now a member of Walla Walla Tribe, No. 229, of Aurora, Indiana, and ranking as a Past Great Sachem in the Great Council of that Reservation.

WILLIAM EDWIN FITE

PAST GREAT SACHEM WILLIAM EDWIN FITE
1897-8

Brother Fite was born October 20, 1867, near Rome, Adams County, Ohio. He was educated in the public schools and at the National Normal University, Lebanon, Ohio. His early life was spent on the farm. He has been a teacher of much ability, and has been principal of schools at Wheelersburg and Bethel, Ohio. He was granted a State Life Certificate by the Ohio Board of School Examiners in 1890; was employed as Superintendent of Schools of Augusta, Kentucky, in 1893, and was granted State Certificate in Kentucky in 1894. Was principal of Minerva Male and Female Academy 1896-1898, when he gave up teaching to enter the insurance business, in which he has been engaged to the present time.

Brother Fite was a charter member of Rising Sun Tribe, No. 161, of Bethel, Ohio, instituted in May, 1893, in which Tribe he gained the honors of a Past Sachem. While engaged at teaching in Augusta he assisted at the institution of Paughcaughnaughsinque Tribe, No. 6, and became a charter member of that Tribe, aiding materially in its progress. He was a charter member of the Great Council of Kentucky and was elected its first Great Junior Sagamore, succeeding as Great Senior Sagamore, and was elected Great Sachem at Ashland, serving the Great Council with distinction, and at the close of his term was elected Great Prophet. Having moved from the Reservation before the expiration of his term in the latter chieftaincy, he was succeeded by Past Great Sachem Thos. A. Hornsey. He was a member of the Committee on Laws which formulated the first code adopted by the Great Council, and served at times on various other important committees. He was appointed by Great Sachem Winter as a Special Deputy for the purpose of visiting various Tribes in the Reservation, and through his instrumentality many weak Tribes were made strong and placed upon the highway to success.

Brother Fite now resides in Jackson, Ohio, and is engaged in the insurance business. He is an active member in the Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, Masons, as well as the Improved Order of Red Men.

JOHN ISAAC WINTER

PAST GREAT SACHEM JOHN ISAAC WINTER
1898-9

John Isaac Winter was born at Germantown, Bracken County, Kentucky, February 20, 1870, and was educated at the Bracken Academy, Augusta. At the early age of sixteen he entered business in that city, at which he was successful, and continued there until December, 1897, when he moved to Maysville, Kentucky, where he opened up one of the largest furniture stores in the State, known as "The White Palace," which he continues to conduct with marked success.

Brother Winter was made a Red Man at the institution of Paughcaughnaughsinque Tribe, No. 6, at Augusta, and was its first Sachem, filling that stump with distinguished ability, and to his energy and zeal is due in a large measure the firm establishment of that Tribe at its inception. As a ritualist he excelled, and one who has ever seen "John Ike," as he is familiarly called, as Sachem in the Adoption Degree will never forget it. He was a charter member of the Great Council of Kentucky and a moving spirit at its founding, being appointed its first Great Sannap, succeeding as Great Junior Sagamore, Great Senior Sagamore, and was elected Great Sachem at Winchester in 1898.

Much constructive work was accomplished during his administration, the "newness" of things having somewhat disappeared, the superficial giving place to the real, and the actual foundation was laid for the solid structure afterwards erected.

He is actively identified with the Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Elks, the Blue Lodge, Chapter and Commandery in Masonry, a deacon in the Central Presbyterian Church of Maysville, and is actively interested in church work.

PAST GREAT SACHEM W. C. DIEDERICH.
1899-1900

W. C. Diederich was born in Old Hanover, Germany, November 26, 1849. At an early age he came to this country and was educated in the common schools. He was adopted into the Improved Order of Red Men in Huron Tribe, No. 19, of Ashland, which Tribe he served as Sachem, having been one of its promoters and most enthusiastic members.

Brother Diederich was a charter member of the Great Council of Kentucky, and having been previously admitted to the Great Council of Ohio, was appointed by the Great Incohonee as Great Guard of the Wigwam. He served as a member of the first Committee on Law and Usage, was appointed Great Michinewa by Great Sachem McConnell, at Augusta in 1896, and at the third session of the Great Council, held in the wigwam of his own Tribe at Ashland, in 1897, he was elected Great Junior Sagamore, succeeding as Great Senior Sagamore in 1898, and at Louisville, in 1899, he was elected Great Sachem. During his administration the first great increase in the number of Tribes was brought about, he having appointed as Organizer J. B. VanZandt, who was successful in getting Tribes, though for some reason but few Tribes instituted by him are alive and working at this day. Brother Diederich was at one time claimed to be accountable for the misdeeds of his deputy, but upon investigation it was clearly shown he was in no manner responsible, and he was completely exonerated. Brother Diederich was and is of sterling integrity, sound and honest to the core, and this matter is here mentioned simply as a matter of history, and in no way should reflect upon his honor.

Brother Diederich is now engaged in the grocery business in Ashland, and attends the sessions of the Great Council with regularity, enjoying the marked prosperity of the Order, though he has relinquished the active work to younger heads.

WILLIE WALKER

PAST GREAT SACHEM WILLIE WALKER
1900-1

Willie Walker was born in Ohio County, Kentucky, on Rough Creek, near a small postoffice at that time called Pattysville, but now called Shreve. He worked on a farm until past twenty-one, receiving only the country common school education. Later he attended Hartford College for a term, and afterward taught school in Ohio County in 1883. In 1884-86 he attended the State A. & M. College (now State University), at Lexington, and between sessions sold books to obtain money to pursue his studies, and a part of the time worked on the State College farm to pay board.

In 1891 he accepted a position as bookkeeper with the firm of DeLong & Co., Lexington, with whom, and succeeding firms, he remained for five years, when in 1895 he engaged in the implement business, where he continued until 1900, when he became Manager of the Huber Manufacturing Co. for Central and Eastern Kentucky, which position he now holds.

Brother Walker was adopted into Miantonomo Tribe, No. 1, on the sleep of December 6th, 1894, was elected Junior Sagamore a few suns later, receiving his Past Sachem's Certificate in April, 1895, and was admitted to the Great Council of Kentucky the following month at Ashland, when he was appointed a member of the Committee on Returns and Reports. The following great sun, at Winchester, he was elected Great Junior Sagamore, succeeding as Great Senior Sagamore in 1899, and was elected Great Sachem at Lexington in 1900. During his administration there was a great revival in Redmanship, thirty-two new Tribes having been instituted, and it was many great suns later before the feat was equaled. At the close of his administration he was elected Great Prophet and Great Representative to the Great Council of the United States for two great suns, and was the first retiring Great Sachem to be thus honored.

Brother Walker was always an enthusiast regarding a Widows' and Orphans' Home, and the first mention of such a project was made by him in his Long Talk as Great Sachem, he at that time recommending that a committee be appointed to devise ways and means for the establishment of such an institution.

1901-2

The subject of our sketch was born September 30, 1858, at Hoom, Kingdom of the Netherlands. Upon the death of his father in 1868 he moved to Hanover, Germany, where he attended the public schools, emigrating to this country in 1873, landing in Louisville July 30th of that year, unacquainted with the English language and the customs of the people. He was engaged in the grocery business until 1892, when he took a position with C. F. Vissman Co., where he remained fifteen and a half years, and rose to be manager of their branch house, making it a success. He attended the Jefferson School of Law during the winters of 1905-6 and 1906-7, graduating with honors in May, 1907. He was admitted to the bar April 23, 1907, at Brandenburg, Meade County.

Brother Ellerkamp was a charter member of Shawnee Tribe, No. 9, at Louisville, and was one of the few faithful members of that Tribe to hold out against the desertion of nearly 150 members, leaving about 18 to shoulder a debt of several hundred fathoms which was finally paid off. Later Brother Ellerkamp became a member of Cherokee Tribe, No. 8, when the Tribes consolidated. While a member of No. 9 he was admitted to the Great Council of Kentucky in 1899, and at the same session was elected Great Junior Sagamore, being advanced to the stump of Great Senior Sagamore the following great sun, and was elected Great Sachem at Danville in 1901. During his administration great work was done for the uplifting of the Order, and while he had much to contend with he made for himself an enviable reputation, even though he was sick a large portion of the year, and could only direct the action of able lieutenants. At the conclusion of his term as Great Sachem he was elected Great Prophet and Great Representative to the Great Council of the United States for two great suns. He was elected again for two great suns in 1905, and re-elected in 1907, where he is now serving. He has served upon many important committees in the Great Council of the United States, and was a member of the Committee on Permanent Long House, and to his good offices on that committee is largely due the selection of Louisville as the permanent location of that building. He was a member of the Committee on Law and Usage that edited and arranged the present code of laws of the Great Council of Kentucky.

Brother Ellerkamp is now practicing law in the hunting grounds of Louisville, and is as ardent a Red Man as ever, attending the councils of his Tribe and never missing a session of the Great Council of Kentucky.

PAST GREAT SACHEM JOHN D. WALKER
1902

The subject of our sketch was born in Brooksville, Bracken County, Kentucky, and lived there for thirty years. He attended the public schools, and at an early age learned the carpenter's trade with his father. He enlisted in the Confederate army during the Civil War, and at its close returned to Brooksville and again took up carpentering, but shortly afterwards engaged in a manufacturing enterprise that proved profitable for a time. In 1870 he bought out the drug store of Dr. J. D. Wallins, and conducted that business for several years, when he attended the Ohio Medical College at Cincinnati, from which institution he was graduated and returned to his drug business, practicing medicine in connection with the same. At that time Bracken County produced large quantities of tobacco, and he became interested in buying tobacco together with his other duties, becoming so much interested in this latter enterprise that he devoted his whole energies to this industry. Becoming interested in politics, he was elected chief of police for a term of two years, at the end of which time he was elected sheriff, and served as such for two years, continuing all the time to handle leaf tobacco. Being successful, he sought a larger field and went to Cincinnati, where he conducted a leaf tobacco brokerage business, and while meeting with success, he was induced to take the road for a large plug and twist tobacco manufacturer. While on the road he was induced to move to Lexington, where he organized the Blue Grass Tobacco Company in 1886, and for about eighteen years he superintended that business, until recently he established the White Plume Tobacco Company at Lexington, of which he is now the manager.

Brother Walker was a charter member of Winona Tribe, No. 4, of Lexington, and received the honors of a Past Sachem by virtue of being its first Keeper of Wampum, which position he held during the existence of the Tribe. He was admitted to the Great Council in 1895, and was elected Great Keeper of Wampum in 1897, serving as such for five consecutive great suns, and in 1892 was granted the honors of a Past Great Sachem and elected Great Representative to the Great Council of the United States for two great suns. He is now a member of Miantonomo Tribe, No. 1, is a regular attendant at the sessions of the Great Council, and has the good will and confidence of every member of that Great Body.

WILLIAM CREERE PELHAM

PAST GREAT SACHEM WILLIAM CREERE PELHAM
1902-3

Brother Pelham was born December 2, 1846, at New Harmony, Indiana, and was educated at the "Maysville Literary Institute," a preparatory school. His parents died before he was three years of age, and his family moved to Maysville, Ky., where he resided until September, 1893, when he moved to Knoxville, Tenn., where he is now connected with A. Greenwood & Co., an incorporation, as Secretary-Treasurer. Brother Pelham was a civil engineer and surveyor of wide reputation while residing in Maysville. He was a charter member of Wyandotte Tribe, No. 3, and one of its early Sachems, yielding the tomahawk with remarkable dexterity. Bro. Pelham was one of those rare characters that is never "rattled," no matter how aggravating the occasion.

He was admitted to the Great Council of Kentucky at Augusta in 1896. He served as chairman of the Committee on Law and Usage during 1897-8, making many important rulings that have stood as law until this day, and was appointed chairman of the same committee for the year 1898-9, and again for 1899-1900. He was unable to attend the session of the Great Council held at Lexington in 1900, nevertheless he was then elected Great Junior Sagamore, and was raised to his stump in the wigwam of his own Tribe the next day. The following great sun he was elected Great Senior Sagamore, and was elected Great Sachem at Owensboro in 1902. During his administration he made but little effort to institute new Tribes, preferring to bend his energies toward building up those already existing. To this end he appointed an exemplifier, and for three moons kept him on the road, making a tribal visit nearly every sleep, during that time visiting more than forty hunting grounds. The experiment was costly, but exceedingly profitable, and many of the Tribes then visited have been anxiously awaiting its repetition, but in vain. At the close of his term he was elected Great Prophet and Great Representative to the Great Council of the United States for two great suns, but his removal from the Reservation disqualified him from serving more than one year, and the Great Council of Kentucky has been deprived of his wise counsel since. Brother Pelham is still a member of Wyandotte Tribe, No. 3, of Maysville. He says of himself that he is a "Democrat by conviction, a Methodist by choice, and a Red Man by adoption."

The subject of this sketch was born in Clark County, Kentucky, December 26, 1852, where he has ever lived. He was raised on a farm, and at the age of twenty years began teaching in the country schools, and continued in this work twelve years. He began reportorial work in 1884 on the Winchester Democrat, and has been with that paper ever since, having been editor-in-chief since 1890.

He was twice elected County Superintendent of Schools and served in that capacity eight years; also served eight years more as member of the County Board of Examiners.

Brother Lyddane was a charter member of Shawnee Tribe, No. 18, organized at Winchester in 1887, under the jurisdiction of the Great Council of Ohio, and was the first Sachem of the Tribe. This Tribe became defunct, and he became a charter member of Miantonomo Tribe, No. 1, of Lexington, withdrawing a few suns later to become a charter member of Onequa Tribe, No. 2, of Winchester, which was instituted the 29th of Cold Moon, G. S. D. 404. and has served that Tribe as Chief of Records for many great suns, being still in the harness.

He was admitted to the Great Council of Kentucky in 1898, at Winchester, and was then elected Great Chief of Records, which position he held for the next five consecutive great suns, when he retired with the honors of Past Great Sachem. For the past few great suns he has not been in robust health, and has attended but few sessions of the Great Council.

Brother Lyddane believes in fraternities, and besides his connection with the Red Men, he is a Past Master of the Masonic Order, Past Grand of the Odd Fellows, Past Regent of the Royal Arcanum, and is a high private in the ranks of the Knights of Pythias. He is a Democrat in politics and a Baptist in religion.

Brother Denhardt was born March 8, 1876, at Bowling Green, Kentucky, and received his early education in the public schools of that city, later attending Ogden College, and was graduated from Cumberland University, Lebanon, Tenn., with the degree of LL. B.

Since his graduation he has been practicing law in his native city, and for the past eight great suns has been prosecuting attorney.

He became a member of Mohican Tribe, No. 11, by adoption, in April, 1896, and soon after he was advanced to the stump of Sachem. He has also served his Tribe as Chief of Records for several great suns.

Brother Denhardt was admitted to the Great Council of Kentucky at Lexington in 1900, and has attended every session of the Great Council since. He was elected Great Junior Sagamore at Owensboro in 1902, serving as Great Senior Sagamore in 1903, and at Paducah in 1904 he was elected Great Sachem. Five great suns prior to his being raised to the Great Sachem's stump a movement had been started looking towards a Widows' and Orphans' Home, but no decisive action had been taken, and Brother Denhardt warmly espoused this cause, and through his ardent efforts a law was finally adopted creating a fund for this purpose. At the close of his term as Great Sachem he was elected Great Prophet and Representative to the Great Council of the United States for two great suns, and at the expiration of his term in 1907 he was re-elected for another two great suns.

At the session of the Great Council of the United States, held at Bridgeport, Conn., in Cold Moon, G. S. D. 417, Brother Denhardt was appointed by Great Incohonee Farrar a member of the Judiciary Committee, one of the most important standing committees of the Great Council of the United States.

1905-6

The subject of this sketch was born October 6, 1874, at Smithland, Kentucky, and when twelve years old removed with his parents to Crittenden County, near Marion. He received a common school education in Crittenden and Marion County schools, and became editor, owner and publisher of the "Marion Monitor," a weekly newspaper at Marion, Ky., at the age of nineteen. He continued in this business but a few months, when he sold out the entire plant and moved to Paducah in 1894.

Enlisting as private in Co. K, 3rd Ky. U. S. V. Infty. during the Spanish-American War, he was made 1st Sergeant of his company, and was commissioned 2d Lieutenant in October, 1898, at Lexington. He commanded the company longer than either of the other officers and was in sole command, and remained so, while the company was in Cuba. At the close of this service he returned to Paducah and engaged in the insurance business, which he is most successfully conducting at the present time.

He was a charter member of Otego Tribe, No. 60, and its first C. of W., and afterwards Chief of Records. When Otego Tribe gave a pow-wow and incurred a debt of several hundred fathoms, he with nine other brothers borrowed the necessary money and paid off the entire debt, in the face of the predicted collapse of the Tribe. Nothing daunted, he with other faithful brothers inaugurated a hunt for palefaces, with the result that 106 were captured and adopted at one time, thus equaling the work of Miantonomo Tribe, No. 1, which accomplished the same feat in 1895.

He was admitted to the Great Council of Kentucky at Owensboro in 1902, and was at once put forward as a candidate for Great Junior Sagamore, but without immediate success. He was, however, at this Council appointed chairman of the Committee on State of the Order, and at the following session of the Great Council, at Maysville, he was successful and was raised to the stump of Great Junior Sagamore, succeeding the following great sun as Great Senior Sagamore, and in 1905, at Frankfort, he was elected Great Sachem. His administration was conservative and the Order prospered under his judicious rulings.

He was elected Great Prophet at the close of his term as Great Sachem, and was also elected Great Representative to the Great Council of the United States for two great suns, at the close of which term he was returned for another term of like duration.

Brother Bebout married during his chieftaincy of Great Sachem and the presence of his fair lady adds a charm to the social feature of the Great Council.

1906-7

Dan H. Russell was born April 7, 1873, at Springfield, Ohio, and was given a liberal education, graduating from college with high honors. A young man of remarkable pluck and push, through trials that would have discouraged any but one of such indomitable will, he "made good," and is the president of one of the large corporations of the city of Louisville, where he has resided for many years.

Brother Russell became a Red Man by adoption into Wahoo Tribe in 1900, and was immediately put in line for the Sachem's stump, which position he filled with great success, and piloted the Tribe through perilous times. He was admitted to the Great Council of Kentucky in 1903, at Maysville, and the same spirit that prompted him in his business relations to forge to the front urged him to seek preferment in the Great Council. Like many of his predecessors, he was not successful the first time trying, but in 1904, at Paducah, he was elected Great Junior Sagamore, the following great sun being promoted to the stump of Great Senior Sagamore, and in 1906, at Frankfort, was elected Great Sachem. His administration was noted for exceeding vigor, giving much of his valuable time to the interests of the Order. He inaugurated an active canvass for new Tribes, and Kentucky, under his leadership, made a record for new Tribes instituted in one great sun, 45 Tribes having been added to the roster of the Great Council.

At the close of his term he was accorded the usual honor of being elected Great Prophet and Great Representative to the Great Council of the United States for two great suns, where he is now serving.

ROBERT LEE PAGE

PAST GREAT SACHEM ROBERT LEE PAGE
1907-8

Robert Lee Page was born in Allen County, Kentucky, August 18, 1879. His maternal and paternal ancestors were natives of Virginia, and he is of the celebrated Page family of that Commonwealth.

He was educated in the public schools of Louisville and a graduate of the Louisville Male High School and the Louisville Normal School. After completing his academic course he entered the law department of the University of Louisville, graduating with the highest honor of a class of thirty-five.

Shortly after starting the practice of law Brother Page was appointed Assistant County Attorney of Jefferson County. In June, 1907, he was appointed County Attorney and served in that capacity until the general election, when he declined to be a candidate to succeed himself, preferring to devote his entire time to his private practice. At the time he was County Attorney of Jefferson County he was the youngest official ever holding that office in the county.

Brother Page was a charter member of Ptocawa Tribe, No. 80, of Louisville, and the peculiar spelling of the name is accounted for from the fact that superfluous letter "P" was prefixed as a compliment to him. He served as the first Sachem of the Tribe, and was admitted to the Great Council of Kentucky in 1902, at Owensboro, and was appointed chairman of the Committee on Returns and Reports by Great Sachem Pelham, and the following great sun he was appointed to the same position by Great Sachem McFarlan. At Owensboro, in 1904, he was elected Great Representative to the Great Council of the United States for two great suns. At Frankfort, in 1905, he was elected Great Junior Sagamore, the following great sun being advanced to the stump of Great Senior Sagamore, and at Lexington, in 1907, he was elected Great Sachem. During his term the record was broken for the number of new Tribes instituted during one great sun, 65 standing to his credit. At the time of his election as Great Sachem he was but 27 years of age, and he was doubtless the youngest Great Sachem in the United States. At the close of his term as Great Sachem he was accorded the usual honors of being elected Great Prophet and Great Representative to the Great Council of the United States for two great suns.

Brother Ray was born February 10, 1866, at Bowling Green, Kentucky, and when but four months old his father died, his mother then moving to Maysville. His schooling was very limited, as at an early age he felt called upon to help maintain his mother by learning the drug business. He entered the employ of J. Chenoweth, at Maysville, in 1880, and remained with the same house sixteen years, at the end of which time he bought out a drug store in the same city, and remained in business for himself until 1907, when he was compelled to retire on account of failing health, caused by close attention to his business, coupled with his arduous duties as Great Chief of Records. He had for years the largest and best equipped drug store in Maysville.

Brother Ray was adopted into Wyandotte Tribe, No. 3, in March, 1896, and served in various chieftaincies, earning his honors as a Past Sachem. He was admitted to the Great Council of Kentucky in 1899 at Louisville, serving then as representative of his Tribe. At Lexington, in 1900, he was appointed by Great Sachem Willie Walker chairman of the Committee on Returns and Reports, and the following great sun by Great Sachem Ellerkamp a member of the Finance Committee, and at Owensboro, in 1902, he was made chairman of that committee by Great Sachem Pelham.

At the Great Council held in Maysville, 1903, he was, on the retirement of C. E. Lyddane, unanimously elected Great Chief of Records, and he served in that capacity for five consecutive great suns, being accorded the honors of a Past Great Sachem at Frankfort, in 1908, when he was elected Great Representative to the Great Council of the United States for two great suns.

During the five great suns of his administration of the chieftaincy of Great Chief of Records he managed the business end of the Order in the Reservation in the same methodical way that characterized his private affairs, and saw the Order grow from a membership of 5,089 to 11,950: from 65 Tribes to 182 Tribes. The lay member of the Order has no conception of the vast labors performed by a faithful Great Chief of Records, but a small portion of his duties being apparent to the casual observer. Brother Ray was ever faithful to every duty, and earned the soubrequet of "The Minute Man." The whole may be summed up in the words, "He was always there with the goods."

Brother Ray is now filling a position as clerk in the State Auditor's office at Frankfort.

HORACE J. McFARLAN
PAST GREAT SACHEM HORACE J. McFARLAN
1903-4

As a young man, Brother McFarlan was deeply interested in base ball, and made it a profession. For quite a number of years he was a favorite umpire in the National League. Prior to his activity in base ball circles he had received a liberal education, and tiring of the nomadic life consequent upon following the National game for a livelihood, he studied law, was admitted to the bar, married and began practice of his profession at Lagrange, where for some time he was County Attorney.

Brother McFarlan was adopted into Massasoit Tribe, No. 33, of Lagrange, and was one of its early Sachems. He was admitted to the Great Council of Kentucky in 1901, at Danville, and at the same session was put forward as a "dark horse" for Great Junior Sagamore, winning the race against a large field. He served as Great Senior Sagamore in 1902, and at Maysville, in 1903, he was elected Great Sachem. During his chieftaincy he had the distinction of dedicating the first wigwam owned by a Tribe of the Improved Order of Red Men in the Reservation of Kentucky, that of Oswego Tribe, No. 37, hunting grounds of Dry Ridge. This took place on 18th of Traveling Moon, G. S. D. 412, and was made the occasion of a great pow-wow, in which the citizens of the little town most heartily joined. At the close of his term as Great Sachem he was elected Great Prophet and Representative to the Great Council of the United States for two great suns. In consequence of the death of his estimable wife during the great sun of 414 he was unable to attend the Great Council of the United States, and another was appointed in his stead, but in G. S. D. 415 he was returned for an additional two great suns.

Brother McFarlan is at present practicing law in the hunting grounds of Louisville.
