Redmanship in Kentucky for Fifty Great Suns
Smith, Frank L.
Improved Order of Red Men. Great Council of Kentucky
The Great Council assembled in the wigwam of Kentucky and Seneca Tribes,
hunting grounds of Louisville, and the council fire was kindled in ample
form at the 9th run, rising of the 23d sun of Buck Moon, G. S. D. 381,
Great Sachem Jacob Lezinski presiding, all the elective Great Chiefs
being present.
Representatives were present from Tribes Nos. 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and
16.
The Great Sachem said: "The Order in this jurisdiction is not making as
rapid strides as it would if the beauties of it were more fully known.
Some hunting grounds are extending their influence, while others are
languishing for the want of some fraternal care. I most respectfully
recommend to your earnest consideration the appointment of a suitable
chief, one who has time and ability to visit all the Tribes in this
reservation. It is impossible for any Great Chief without great
pecuniary loss on his part to give that attention to the visiting of
Tribes, which is almost absolutely necessary in what might be called the
infancy of our Order in this jurisdiction. I am satisfied if this system
of visiting was faithfully carried out it would increase our membership
threefold and the Tribes in general gain by it. I appointed Bro. Kiteley
a special deputy to institute Wyandotte Tribe, No. 16, at Maysville,
which he did on the 10th of Sturgeon Moon, 380, and raised up the
following chiefs: M. C. Russell, Sachem; E. A. Robinson, Sr. Sagamore;
J. H. Hall, Jr. Sagamore; A. Brillstein, Prophet; Thomas A. Davis, C. of
R.; A. B. Cochran, K. of W."
The Great Chief of Records reported that some mode should be adopted to
compel Tribes to be more prompt in making their reports.
The death of Past Great Sachem Charles Amann was reported and suitable
resolutions were passed.
The election resulted as follows:
W. H. Glore Great Sachem
John Vogle Great Senior Sagamore
J. J. Hillburb Great Junior Sagamore
Thos. A. Hornsey Great Prophet
G. B. Kiteley Great Chief of Records
W. D. Turner Great Keeper of Wampum
Isaac Leiber Great Representative to G. C. U. S.
After an exemplification of the secret work and a prayer by the Great
Prophet the council fire was quenched.
=1873.=
TWENTIETH GREAT SUN COUNCIL.

Tribe, No. 13, hunting grounds of Covington, on the 22nd sun of Buck

the 9th run, rising of the sun, Great Sachem W. H. Glore presiding. All
the elective Great Chiefs were present.
Representatives were admitted from the following Tribes: Nos. 2, 3, 4,
8, 10, 11, 13 and 16.
