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.
He was married in 1890 to Miss Fannie Bailey, of Winchester, and has a happy home, but no children.
