TWENTY-NINTH GREAT SUN COUNCIL.
The Great Council assembled in Newport on the 22d sun of Buck Moon, G. S. D. 391, when Great Sachem John Reed announced that as there were representatives present from but two Tribes, no business could be transacted except to act upon credentials, and the Great Council adjourned to meet on the 30th sun of Sturgeon Moon, G. S. D. 391, on which date the Great Council met and the council fire was kindled in due form, Great Sachem John Reed presiding.
The committee on state of the Order reported: "We find but two Tribes in working order in this State and we hope the incoming Great Chiefs will have better encouragement and show a better prospect in our future Great Council than that in the past year."
The election resulted as follows:
| G. W. Reese | Great Sachem |
| John Roth | Great Senior Sagamore |
| C. Switzer | Great Junior Sagamore |
| S. F. Schell | Great Chief of Records |
| J. Glick | Great Keeper of Wampum |
