Notes |
- His mother was Shoshone and was said to be the sister of Chief Washaki e . He was raised in Draper Utah. He was also married and lived with hi s N ative American Wife in Draper after being called two different time s to l ive among the Shoshone and help them. My Grandmother Dora Amanda C HERRY D ansie said he was called to be among the Shoshone for a "life Mis sion". H e was murdered after asking for a release, because there was tro uble on t he reservation for him. He must have been a very faithful Man .
In a news article describing his death it mentions him as being a Chie f a mong the Shoshone Indians. He is also a signer of a treating about 19 05 . He was trying to get the people some food as they were starving bein g f orced to live on the reservation and fend for themselves.
He was baptized, held the priesthood and was sealed to his wife while al i ve. He may have been one of the first Native American Men to receive t h e full blessing of the Temple.
