In 1822 Col. Ebenezer Childs arrived, after looking over the country he decided to go further

and set out in a birch bark canoe by way of the Fox and Wisconsin rivers, going as far south as

St. Louis and returning by way of the Chicago and Illinois rivers. After his return he became

associated with John P. Arndt in the lumber business and they built the first saw mill on the

Oconto river. An incident of this partnership was that Childs and Arndt went to southern

Illinois to buy cattle. They went to Chicago by way of the Fox river, through Muckwanago,

bought 262 head of cattle and succeeded in driving 210 of them to Green Bay in safety.

Later Childs, with William Dickinson and others formed the Depere manufacturing company.

Still later Childs moved to LaCrosse where he remained until his death. (the Waukesha Freeman, Apr 11, 1907)

"In 1829 I was appointed sheriff of Brown county," said Mr. Childs. "The United States court

was held at Green Bay in a log shanty; the grand jury holdingits deliberations in the same

room. There was then no trouble of seeking a private room; everything as done openly."

(Milwaukee Sentenial, July 2, 1922)

"A meeting of the members of the Pokagon band of Indians was held at the home of John Mix on April 30 and Joe Cushaway of Ludington was chosen by them to push their claim against the government. We are informed

that the chance of the claim being allowed is steadily improving." (People's Alliance, Hartford, 11 May 1899,

p.1)

"John Mix was taken with a congestive chill last Saturday and is still very sick at his home north of town"

(People's Alliance, Hartford, 1899, p.1)

"A Meeting of the Pottawattomi Indians begins at the homeof John Mix and will continue probably for the

balance of the wek. The object of the meeting is the claim of the Indians on the Chicago property already fully

discussed in these columns. C.H. Engle, as attorney for the Indians, and Warner P. Sutton of Washington will

be present as advisers for them, while as attorney named Smith, from Washington, will appear for the Chicago

claiment to the property. Indians from all around the country will be present and it is hoped that some kind of settlement can be reached at the meeting. The Indians have a strong claim and the fact is realized by the

Chicago parties" (People's Alliance, Hartford, 1 Jun 1899, p.1)

"OLDEST INDIAN IS DEAD IN HARTFORD. John Mix, Oldest <e,ber of Pokagon Band, Died Monday at

Age of 107 years. REMEMBERED WAR OF 1812. Was a Man When the 'Stars Fell' In 1833 and had Lived

Near Hartford Eighty Years. John Mix, thought to be the oldest Indian living in Michigan, died at his home

three miles north of Hartford at seven o'clock last Monday morning, at the probable age of 107 years.

He had lived near Hartford for nearly 80 years, coming to this section when it was naught but an unbroken

forest. Securing a deed to his land from the government he cleared away the virgin forest and lived upon his present farm for over 70 years-- one of the most highly respected members of the Pokagon band of redmen.

The farm has never been transferred, and the original transfer from the government to John Mix today

constitutes the sole title to the property.

For years mystery has surrounded the exact age of this venerable Indian. He computed his own age by recalling

incidents of known date which he declared occurred when he was a youth. He remembered distinctly the

return of the troops from the war of 1812, and he thought he was then a boy of about 9 years.

Again he based his computation upon the "falling of the stars" in 1833, saying that he was then a man grown

and to substantiate it he related a vivid account of the wonderful phenimena of the heavens. He declared that

the years after the 'stars fell' he went ot Chicago, then a mere village, and secured work in Chicago's first

foundry, which was being started. He helped to make the first iron pipe made in Chicago, and told interesting tales of the early settlement of that city.

By his own computation Mr. Mix would have been 113 years old at his death, but probably the most authentic

record of his age has been discovered by E.B. Stark, the Hartford Indian agent. Mr. Stark declares that he has

found records showing that John Mix was born in Georgia in 1806, and that this record has been substantiated

by the record of an historical society at Washington. This record further shows that the father of John Mix was

a Spaniard and his mother a Cherokee Indian woman, and that in 1840 John Mix was married to an Ottawa

Indian woman named Necosh.

A few years ago the aged Indian was importuned by his son, William Mix, to tell the story of his life, and the

son recorded the story in a diary. At that time he said he was born inn Heart Co., Kentucky, and from his early childhood lived with a man who was one of the first white settlers of Missouri. During his boyhood he

worked, he said, on a ferry boat on the Missouri river.


28

When a young man he started to walk from Missouri to Chicago, and said he 'stopped awhile in Illinois is a

town called Springfield'.

In telling his story he recalled having in an early day owned a part of the present Roger Ryan farm, north of

Hartford, and having sold 40 acres of it for $300 and a yoke of steers. At another time he 'traded ten acres of

the Sherburne farm for a fanning mill'. At one time he owned considerable farming land north of the village but sold the greater portion of it a ridiculusly low prices, as compared with present values, retaining for himself

68 acres which constitutes the present farm.

In July, 1902, Mr. Mix furnished the Day Spring with material for a biographical sketch, and at that time he

also said he was born in Kentucky and that his father was a Spaniard and his mother a member of the Sioux

tribe of Indians. He stated that both of his parents died when he was a small child, and he was adopted by a

family of the white race with whom he lived until he reached manhood.

The call of the wild was strong, and he gradually drifted back to his Indian associations. It was about 1836 that

he entered the employ of John Stronach, a Scotchman who was about to erect a lumber mill at Manistee and

together they made the trip from Chicago in a small sailing vessel. Stronach was the father of Mrs. Felix

Rassette, one of the early pioneers of Hartford.

At Manistee they were joined by Mrs. Stronach, who had made the trip from Watervliet taking whith her an

Indain girl whom she had adopted. A love affair sprang up between John Mix and this Indian girl and soon

ripened into marriage, according to the aged Indian's own story of his life. He related that the marriage

ceremony was performed on no less than three times, first by a justice of the peace, then by a minister to satisy

the Indian maiden's religious belief and lated by a Catholic priest to please the maiden's mother, who was a

devout Catholic.

They soon returned to the vicinity of Hartford, and here John Mix set about the task of hewing a home from the

virgin forest and here he passed the remainder of his life-- remembered by all of the earliest settlers of the place

and respected by the white man as well as by the members of his own race. He was adopted as a member of

the Pokagon band of Pottawattomies, and for 75 years has been influential in the councils of the band. the old Indian council tree, beneath which the redman held their tribal councils more than a half century ago, was one

of his proudest possessions. The tree still stands on his farm, but a few rods south of his house.

John Mix boasted that he learned to read and write after he was 40 years of age, being taught by his own

children who attended the first school in the vicinity of Hartford, which was taught by Mrs. John Travis, one of

the early settlers. He subsequently became a well read man, being a particular student of the history of his own

race.

Of strict integrity and hish ideals of life, John Mix was one of the most respected members of the Pokagon

band. he was a bitter enemy of intoxicating liquors, in which he recognized the greatest foe of the redman. It

is said of him that he never touched intoxicants, but invariably remonstrated with his tribesmen for their

indulgence.

He was a man of wonderful physical endurance. During his lifetime he cleared the virgin timber from more

than three hundred acres of land, and in the old lumber days was known as one of the best ox drivers in this

part of of the state. An inverterate worker, he maintained his activity until he was past he century mark. After

he reached the age of 100 he did active work about his farm, and up until last summer he performed light taskc

about the place.

His first wife died 42 years ago and 38 years ago he was married to Elizabeth Sinhua, who survives himn. Her

father was the owner of the farm at Ruch lake where the old Indian church and cemetery are located, and was

prominent in thecouncils of the Pokafon band.

Ten children were the issue of his first marriage, five of whom are still living, his oldest son being over 70

years of age. They are Will Mix of Hartford, Lawrence Mix of Dowafiac, John Mix who is some place in the

west, Mrs. Julia Bourassa of northern Michigan, and Mrs. Angeline Cushway of Hartford. He also lieaves

thirty-two grandchildren and great-grandchildren.


29

For the past several years his son, Will Mix and family, have resided at the old homestead and have given the

aged man the best of care in his declining years.

Funeral services for him were attended at the Baptist church at two o'clock this afternoon, Rev. D.C. Henshaw

officiating, and interment took place at Maple Hill."

Of French-Pottawatomie descent, Doctor Bourassa was educated in mission and Eastern schools, and practiced

for years among the Pottawatomie and Kansa Indians. His account of events in the life of Wabaunsee,

published in a Kansas City newspaper in 1857, includes the comment, "I have tried to write them in the order

they were told to me by the celebrated individual himself ...."

Attended Hamilton Literary and Theological Institution, NY.

May have had a third (first?) wife "Queh-Meh" sketched by George Winter in 1837.

"(The following is from the Father Joe Murphy Archives donated to the Potawatomi Tribe. It is the obituary of

Joseph Bourassa, known as 'the interpreter,' and ran in the St. Mary's Times, Nov. 2, 1877. The picture is from

a drawing by George Winter labeled, 'Bourassa. Indian Interpreter, 1837.')

Mr. Joseph Bourassa died after a short illness of lung fever, at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Chilson, four

miles north of Roseville [KS] last Tuesday (Oct 29) evening. Mr. Bourassa was about 67 years of age and has

lived among the Indians, here on the reserve, a great many years. He was educated at Dick Johnson's College

(Choctaw Academy in Kentucky, graduating there with a finished education in the same class with the late

Senator Bogey of Missouri. We believe he assisted in forming the Pottawatomi alphabet, and at one time was

interpreter for the tribe and was said to be the best one the tribe ever had.

He had in his possession a written manuscript (of which he was the author) of the Histor of the Pottawatomi

Indians for which it was said he had refused two thousand dollars. In years gone by he was quite wealthy, but

owing ot his generosity and great hospitality, his wealth faded. At. the time of his death, he was employed by a


31

Chicago company, at a large salary, for the purpose of investigating land titles in and around that city, of which

formerly belonged to a portion of the Pottawatomies here, and what it was said was obtained through fraud.

The old gentleman's demise was quite unexpected, as he was in town a few days before his death apparently in

robust health, and telling of the sport he was having duck shooting." (ref: POTAWATOMI SCRAPBOOK,

pub. by Indian Awareness Center, Fulton Co., Historical Soc. , Rochester, IN.)

(1) Married 10/19 Dec 1838, Memetekosikwe, also known as Memistakiskwa (see note 10).

(2) He married Mary E. NADEAU, b. c.1833, (daughter of _____ NADEAU and Therese KOUGOEMMA).

Mary: Is she the same as the first wife?

Children:

i. Josephine R. BOURASSA, b. c.1859.

44. Jude W. BOURASSA, b. 19 Apr 1814 in Galien River, Berrien Co., MI, baptized 22 Jul 1830 in St. Joseph, MI, d. 1857 in Union Town, KS.

Jude was educated at Hamilton, New York at the Baptist Theological Institute, now known as Colgate

University. When Jesuit school started in Kansas, he taught the English language. Jude lived at Potawatomi

Creek near the Baptist Mission, at Sugar Creek, KS near a Catholic Mission. Later at the Kansas River

Reservation he operated a water-powered mill near the mouth of Mill Creek. Jude was a descendant of Jacques

Bourasseau and Francoise Fauchard (b. 1605 and 1610 in France).

In 1826, Jude and his brother Joseph Napoleon accompanied Rev. Isaac McCoy from Niles, Michigan to

Hamilton, New York where they attended the Baptist Theological Institution (now Colgate University). In

1831-32 they attended Choctaw Academy at White Sulphur Springs, Kentucky. There they took part in the

debating society and the Lycergus Court, and they learned to handle conflict according to white man's law. This served them well as leaders of the Potawatomi when they lived in Kansas.

Jude came west in the removal of August 17, 1840 on the Trail of Death. Jude was an innkeeper, became

wealthy and had the first piano in the Kansas territory, according to letters of William H. Hutter, first Governor

of Kansas Territory in 1854. Hutter was impressed with Jude's comfortable house, fine furniture and delicious

food.

Jude was about 1/8 Indian**. Jude had been a landowner in Indiana because of land he received as parts of

other treaties. He sold that land. He then petitioned the goverment to let him stay in Indiana as a landowner,

claiming he had been swindled out of his land. The courts did not agree, as Jude was a well-educated man. Jude

had a falling out with the Jesuits at Sugar Creek, Kansas and returned to Potawatomie Creek with the Baptists.

After the move to the Kansas River, he operated the Potawatomie's water-power mill near the mouth of Mill Creek and was a successful and respected resident of the area. He was also paid by the government to make

hishome available to certain travelers along the Oregon Trail which ran through the Potawatomie reserve.

Descriptions of his home and family were published by two of those travelers and are very complimentary.

One wrote that "while Mr. Bourassa is very attentive to his guests and liberal in his charges, he will furnish no

whiskey under any circumstances."

It is said Jude caught smallpox and died after giving hospitality to a family of immigrants. This would have

been somewhere between 1856 and 1859. After his death, his widow married Basil Greemore on November 21,

1859.

Scenes In (And En Route To) Kansas Territory, Autumn, 1854: Five Letters by William H. Hutter Edited by

Louise Barry Autumn, 1969 (Vol. 35, No. 3), pages 312 to 336; NOTE: The numbers in brackets refer to endnotes for thistext.

I. Introduction Aboard the Missouri steamer Polar Star, Andrew H. Reeder, an Easton, Pa., lawyer and

politician, arrived at Fort Leavenworth October 7, 1854, to assume his duties as Kansas' first territorial


32

governor. On October 24 the editor of the Easton (Pa.) Argus set out on a journey to Kansas. He was William

H. Hutter, aged 29, a relative (nephew?) by marriage of Governor Reeder (whose wife was Amalia Hutter).

Arriving at the new town of Leavenworth on the Edinburg, November 4, he remained in the territory at least till

the end of the month; and during that time traveled west, by way of Kansas river valley roads, as far as Fort

Riley.

Five letters describing his journey to, and experiences in Kansas, which were published in Hutter's newspaper are reprinted here. [1] The first two (dated at St. Louis, October 27, and Leavenworth, November 7) appeared

under the heading, "Letter from the Editor." The succeeding three (Soldier Creek, November 14; Fort Riley,

November 18; and Leavenworth, November 29) were headed "Scenes in Kansas."

On our return trip we tarried several days at the house of Jude Bourassa, a French half breed, about one mile

and a half from the Pottawatomie payment post [Union Town]. [13] We found a comfortable double Indian

House, of logs of course, one end of which, in all of them, serves the purpose of a better bed room, and also of

a parlor to entertain guests. That end was given us with two good beds, a blazing fire in the chimney, and

imported carpet on the floor and a handsome modern Piano in the room. We had a capital supper and in the

evening prevailed on Mr. Bourassa to bring his daughter Isabella in to play for us. She played Russian march --

Washington march and some other beginner's tunes -- the only merit of the music being that it came from an

Indian girl. She is a modest, good-looking girl, dressed with neatness and taste -- not near so handsome,

however, as the Spotted Fawn. Her Father has a brother residing in this immediate vicinity, named Joseph Bourassa. Both were educated, with others, among whom was the well known Jose [i.e., William] Walker of

the Wyandots, at Hamilton, in the State of New York. They both speak English, with a French accent, but

Joseph is the more intellectual man, whilst Jude is much the more wealthy.

I saw at Jude's house a most interesting object, giving strong confirmation to the theory broached more than 30

years ago that the Red men of the North are the ten lost tribes of Israel. He has four slips of parchment covered

with Hebrew manuscript, which he has sent to Washington and had translated and which prove to be extracts

from the 13th chapter of Exodus and 6th chapter of Deuteronomy, and relate principally to the Passover. These

he procured from an old chief, just before his death, a year or two ago, who had kept them secretly nearly all

his life, and to whom they had come from his ancestors. -- Mr. B. says there is very good evidence of the tribe

having had them for 200 or 250 years, and the tradition accompanying them is that the Red men brought them along with them into this Island, as they call the Continent, and that some day they were to be called for. They

are rolled in small flat rolls, and inserted in a stiff, hard box about 2 inches each way, the outsides of which are

made of repeated thicknesses of parchment, closely and solidly compressed together and blacked outside with

considerable polish. On each end is an ornament consisting of three or four long stalks, each having a bulb at

the end, which may represent fruit or flower. -- This box has four compartments one for each of the rolls.

Around the open top of the box a square rim projects of about half-inch, and the same piece of parchment

(double) which makes this rim, folds over and makes a cover, and this was closely and solidly sewed down,

and the outside finished like the body of the box -- so that it was impervious to air or water. Mr. B. had it cut

open. The tradition is that the tribe had two of these boxes and that one of them was lost by the upsetting of a

Canoe in one of their migrations, but all recollection of the time and place is lost. It is impossible they could

have got these things from the Missionaries, for at 200 or 250 years ago none were among them, and if they

were they would have no reason for giving these remembrances of the Passover to the Indians. -- Besides the earliest Missionaries they did meet were Catholics, and it is a well known fact that all their amulets are in

Latin, and of a different character from that of these extracts. Again Mr. B. tells me that this particular kind of

box for the preservation of texts of Scripture, has been, and is in use among the Jews, and that a Jew who saw it

in his possession recognized it at once as a Jewish box.

We had as pleasant and comfortable quarters at Bourassa's as in any other part of the Territory. Joseph B. is a

single man. The housekeeper is an old lady, a cousin of his (Mrs. Nadeau,) a French half breed also, but with

more of the French than the Indian in her manners and one of the kindest women of the face of the earth. The

rest of the family consists of her two sons, Alexander and Ely, and her two daughters, Rosanna and Catharine,

both grown up -- and Elizabeth, a sister of Bourassa, about 19 years old. Joseph Bourassa himself is a man of

education and intelligence and it is pleasant to sit and talk with him of his people. He is writing for publication a History of the manners and customs of the Red man, which will make an interesting book. The house is a

double Indian house with kitchen attached and lofts overhead. Every thing is neat and clean and a great many

little items of comfort gathered in it. The table is fit for a Prince -- fine hot biscuit, first-rate coffee, rich milk

with all the cream in -- prairie chicken & salmon -- apple dumplings -- pan cakes -- butter cakes -- good butter


33

-- peaches and cream, etc., etc. The two daughters of Mrs. Nadeau are very interesting girls for Indians.

Catharine is quite good looking -- Rosa is handsome. They have not a great deal of the Indian in their

appearance & Rosanna scarcely any. They all speak Indian, French, and English fluently. Their domestic

language is French. The girls play cards and chess very well. They have all been educated at the Missions, and

dress in excellent taste.

There was a very wild looking Indian boy staying here with a hideous looking grandmother. The latter having a

claim for her furniture etc., destroyed on the occasion of some former removal, has 40 copper kettles included

in her inventory, so that she goes among us by the soubriquet of "the 40 kettle woman." Her boy is about 11 or

12 years old, with the most tremendous head of long black hair I ever saw -- so thick and long that a great deal

of it is put up in a long thick plait. His face is good and he is a bright boy -- can't understand a word of English.

He has a bow and arrow with which I have seen him shoot prairie chickens and hawks. His name is Wahbantis

(Little White Shoulder).

"These are becoming noticeable fewer each year, and the latest to answer the Grim Reaper's call was Benjamin

McGulpin, who died here today. Of all he old people residing here for the past 50 years, he had a distinction

all his own, and he was proud of it too.

Mackinac Island was his birth place. He was born here April 7, 1827, not over 200 feet from where he breathed his last. His entire family of 10 children first saw the light of day in the same place.

As a young man he was a clerk in the office of the American Fur company, owned yb John Jacob Astor. He

was also well-known as the keeper of Wangoshance lighthouse at the entrance of the straits.

He had never spent a week sick in bed until he contracted the cold which, coupled with senility, hastened the

end.

His father a Scotch-Irishman, came to the island in the early part of 1880.(sic 1780). His oldest sister waas born

in 1812, while the British still held Old Fort Mackinac. She died in childhood, but four sons grew to manhood.

They were John Jerome, Benjamin and Alex. The latter is still alive, at Harbor Springs. Known and very popular with many of Detroit's prominent business men who frequented the island as small boys. He owned

the sailboat Lucy and to have a good stand-in with Captain Jerome McGulpin meant many a good stiff sail,

when, as he graphically said, "The sea she is mad, hurrah boys'>

Old Ben, as he was familiarly called, seldom wandered from his own fireside. His travels, even by water, were

limited, and his longest journey by rail was a three mile jaunt from Harbor Springs to Petoskey while visiting

Brother Alex. During the war he was drafted and taken to Grand Haven by boat, He was not mustered in, and

the next boat brought him back to his island home.

His wife, Maria Boyd, was born at Old Fort Mackinac 79 years ago, and still survives, a keen, bright-eyed old

lady who sews and reads without glasses.

Ten children were born to them, of whom eight survive, 29 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren.

McGulpin;s point, well-known to all mariners in the lake region, was named for the family.

The only automobile Ben McGulpin ever saw was in the freight shed on the dock here. He examined it as a

child a new toy, but did not think very well of it. [Detroit Free Press]". (Cheboygan Democrat, 22 Jul 1910).

Married 3/5 Jan 1854 in Ste-Anne's, Mackinac Is., Mackinac Co., MI, Elizabeth BOYD, b. c. 1832 in MI,

(daughter of Thomas Alexander Brooks BOYD and Catherine YARNS) d. 27 Jan 1916 in Mackinac Is.,

Mackinac Co., MI.

"Another of the very few remaining ild people of the island was called by the Grim Reaper las week. Mrs.

Elizabeth McGulpin, who was born here 85 years ago, passed away Thursday at the residence of her son

Sellew after an illness of only three days, senils pneumonia being the ailment. She was the wife of Ben.

McGulpin and survived him by five years. Of Mrs. McGulpin's original family of ten children, eight survive,

twenty-one children (sic) and fourteen great-grandchildren. Since the death of her husband she has made her

home with her son Sellew, who has charge of the freight department of the G.T. Arnold Transit Co. Mrs.

McGulpin's one great journey of her life was a visit to their daughter, Mrs. Louis Belangia, of Cross Village,

some years ago. The funeral took place Saturday morning from St. Anns church, Rev. Father Sommers officiating. (St. Ignace Enterprise, 3 Feb 1916).

Mrs. Frank Bourisaw died at an early hour on Monday after an imediate illness of two weeks, but really the

end of several years of failling health -- the breaking up process of advancing years.

Hermaiden name was Harriet Lasley. She was born in Muskegon in 1852, her parents removing to Mackinac

Island before she was a year old. A brother, James, and a sister, Miss Margaret Lasley are the only survivors

of the original family.

Deceased was married to Frank Bourisaw in 1883, and she is survived by her husband, three sons, and a daughter, being respectively James and Harry of the Island, and Morton of Chicago (he came for the funeral)

and Miss Ruth Bourisaw, the assistant postmistress here.

The funeral took place Wednesday morning with high mass at St. Ann's church, and internment in the

Catholic cemetery.

Deceased was a woman of exemplary Christian virtues and a devoted adherent of the Catholic faith; she was

beloved by her neighbors and eminently respected by the community, which sympathises deeply with the

fmily in their bereavement."
