Mrs. Joseph Mackey
Elizabeth Florence Desellns was born October 10,
1839 Guernsey County, Ohio. She wa9 married
to Joseph Mackey in 1361. Four boys were born
into the family circle but two of them preceeded
her in death. ' Milton J. and Alden B. survive.
Also, Mrs. AnnaGratten, a foster child, who with
love and tenderness was all that a faithful child
could be to an earthly parent.
In her posterity are six living grand children, v
Her maritial union was broken in the death of her
companion Nov. 8, 1897.
With her famiiy she located in Cowley County,
Kansas, in 1873 and has since resided in or near
Burden. Her religious life is evidenced by union
with the Cumberland Presbyterian church in her.;
thirteenth year. After locating in Burden lnr
several years she was a member of the Methodist
congregation. About five years ago she was Bap:
Used into Christ and was ever faithful unto Him
unto the end.
To know sister Mackey \va3 to love and admire
her. Her many estimable traits of character com-
mended her to the hearts of her acquaintances.
Her- home was a hospitable one to Saint or sinner,
friend or strainger. Her kindness found e x-
pression in the mellow, kindly expression of her
voice. Her humility of heart brought her into
constant training at the Master's feet and «ent
her forth to minister unto others needs. Her
wi:-e council and patient fortitude has been strength
to many souls.
Tho ripened fruit of her pious life was fully
ready for the harvest and on December 2i>, 1915
at the mature age of 76years, 2 months and 19 days.
Her heavely clothed spirit.peacefully and quietly
left the earth worn tabernacle to be garnered by
the angels unto the Paradise of Rest. The rela-
tives are joined by her kindred in Christ and miny
friends in their sorrow. But with unfaltering
faith we confidently affirm: "She is not lost but
gone before." With faith's descerning eye we
pierce tbe future years and behold our'Lord in
glory coming with his angels to gather home his
loved and own. Since we cannot call her back
may we all resolve to go to her and with her. at
last enter that blessed home of the soul.
Funeral services were conducted in the chapel
of the Church of Christ in Burden by J. C. Bunn
of Winfield, Kans?s, after which interment wa3
in th'e cemetery near town,
A CHEYENNE CHIEF GONE
White Spoon
Chief White Spoon died at his
home near Geary, Okla., January
7, 1916, age 60 years. His fath-
er was killed during the Sand
Creek troubles in Colorado.
Whiteman, his father, had, with
two others, just returned from
Washington where they had
signed a treaty with the "Great
While Father" to bury the
hatchet and make peace. They
had just reached the camp when
they saw the white soldiers com-
ing. The young warriors though
they must fight, but he said no,
I will go out to them and make
friends, and we will fiuht no
more, He walked out into the
open with his credentials in his
pocket and making signs of
friendship. One of hii young
men in examining his gun to
make sure it was all right, acci-
dentially discharged it. The
enemy supposing it was a sigi-
nal to charge opened fire, and
Whiteman was the first to fall.
White Spoon grew to young
manhood in the north, and was
among the first Cheyennes to
come to Oklahoma. He married
Scabby Woman who was a
daughter of Dead Man's Foot,
a noted chief in his day, who
died recently near Watonga.
White Spoon was elected chief
by his tribe about 22 years ago,
wheg the old chiefs called thtii
people together to elect younger
men to take their places.
He made two trips to Washing-
ton in behalf of his people. He
>vas of a kind happy disposition
and made many friends. He en-
couraged education and right!
ivirg among his people, was a!
friend and helper to Govern-j
ment employees, and was one of
tho inspector* o f the Indian i
school at Conoho at the time of j
his death. He built a nice hon e
on his allotment, which was com-
fortably furnished, and has lived
there many years.
He is survived by his wife, )
Scabby Woman, one daughter,
wife of Harry B'ack, andnne!
grand-son, Amiel Curtis.
He was laid to rest in the Geary
cemetery at noon Sunday, after '
funeral services held at his home,
followed by a host of white and
Indian friends.
