At the institution of Wyandotte Tribe, No. 16, in 1871, he became a charter member, and was immediately elected Sachem. He was admitted to the Great Council of Kentucky in 1874 and was elected Great Sachem in 1875. Unfortunately, his Tribe surrendered its charter before the expiration of his term, and though he did not transfer his membership to another Tribe, he ranked as a Past Great Sachem of the old Great Council. At the institution of the present Wyandotte Tribe, No. 3, he became a charter member, and his honors were recognized. He was admitted to the present Great Council in G. S. D. 412 (1903). Brother Davis was Postmaster of Maysville under the Harrison administration, 1891-5, and is now State Labor Inspector for Kentucky. Besides his affiliation with the Red Men, he is a valued member of the Masonic Orders, Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, G. A. R., Elks, Maccabees, etc. =PAST GREAT SACHEM J. HULL DAVIDSON= 1895 Brother Davidson was a native of Lexington, and was interested in many merchantile enterprises. At the time of the renaissance of Redmanship in Kentucky he was proprietor of a daily newspaper called the "Argonaut." He was a charter member of Winona Tribe, No. 4, which was instituted in Hot Moon, G. S. D., 404, and was its first Sachem, which stump he filled with marked ability, and with such zeal, that at the institution of the Great Council of Kentucky he was selected as its first Great Prophet, retiring at the end of his term as Past Great Sachem. Shortly afterward Brother Davidson moved from Lexington to embark in the hotel business in New York City, where he is at the present time. Unfortunately for him and for the Order, his interest waned, and when Winona Tribe consolidated with No. 1, he not being present, lost his membership. =PAST GREAT SACHEM JOHN B. MENDENHALL= 1895-6
