Brother McFarlan was adopted into Massasoit Tribe, No. 33, of Lagrange, and was one of its early Sachems. He was admitted to the Great Council of Kentucky in 1901, at Danville, and at the same session was put forward as a "dark horse" for Great Junior Sagamore, winning the race against a large field. He served as Great Senior Sagamore in 1902, and at Maysville, in 1903, he was elected Great Sachem. During his chieftaincy he had the distinction of dedicating the first wigwam owned by a Tribe of the Improved Order of Red Men in the Reservation of Kentucky, that of Oswego Tribe, No. 37, hunting grounds of Dry Ridge. This took place on 18th of Traveling Moon, G. S. D. 412, and was made the occasion of a great pow-wow, in which the citizens of the little town most heartily joined. At the close of his term as Great Sachem he was elected Great Prophet and Representative to the Great Council of the United States for two great suns. In consequence of the death of his estimable wife during the great sun of 414 he was unable to attend the Great Council of the United States, and another was appointed in his stead, but in G. S. D. 415 he was returned for an additional two great suns. Brother McFarlan is at present practicing law in the hunting grounds of Louisville. CHAPTER XII.
