Brother Fite was a charter member of Rising Sun Tribe, No. 161, of Bethel, Ohio, instituted in May, 1893, in which Tribe he gained the honors of a Past Sachem. While engaged at teaching in Augusta he assisted at the institution of Paughcaughnaughsinque Tribe, No. 6, and became a charter member of that Tribe, aiding materially in its progress. He was a charter member of the Great Council of Kentucky and was elected its first Great Junior Sagamore, succeeding as Great Senior Sagamore, and was elected Great Sachem at Ashland, serving the Great Council with distinction, and at the close of his term was elected Great Prophet. Having moved from the Reservation before the expiration of his term in the latter chieftaincy, he was succeeded by Past Great Sachem Thos. A. Hornsey. He was a member of the Committee on Laws which formulated the first code adopted by the Great Council, and served at times on various other important committees. He was appointed by Great Sachem Winter as a Special Deputy for the purpose of visiting various Tribes in the Reservation, and through his instrumentality many weak Tribes were made strong and placed upon the highway to success. Brother Fite now resides in Jackson, Ohio, and is engaged in the insurance business. He is an active member in the Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, Masons, as well as the Improved Order of Red Men. [Illustration: JOHN ISAAC WINTER] =PAST GREAT SACHEM JOHN ISAAC WINTER= 1898-9 John Isaac Winter was born at Germantown, Bracken County, Kentucky, February 20, 1870, and was educated at the Bracken Academy, Augusta. At the early age of sixteen he entered business in that city, at which he was successful, and continued there until December, 1897, when he moved to Maysville, Kentucky, where he opened up one of the largest furniture stores in the State, known as "The White Palace," which he continues to conduct with marked success. Brother Winter was made a Red Man at the institution of Paughcaughnaughsinque Tribe, No. 6, at Augusta, and was its first Sachem, filling that stump with distinguished ability, and to his energy and zeal is due in a large measure the firm establishment of that Tribe at its inception. As a ritualist he excelled, and one who has ever seen "John Ike," as he is familiarly called, as Sachem in the Adoption Degree will never forget it. He was a charter member of the Great Council of Kentucky and a moving spirit at its founding, being appointed its first Great Sannap, succeeding as Great Junior Sagamore, Great Senior Sagamore, and was elected Great Sachem at Winchester in 1898. Much constructive work was accomplished during his administration, the "newness" of things having somewhat disappeared, the superficial giving place to the real, and the actual foundation was laid for the solid structure afterwards erected.
