An extra session was called in the wigwam of Minnehaha Tribe, No. 10, on
the 23d of Hunting Moon, G. S. D. 385, when charges were preferred
against Great Keeper of Wampum W. G. Stone for conduct unbecoming a
Great Chief. There is no records of a trial, and probably the charges
were not sustained, if there was one, for Bro. Stone was subsequently
twice elected Great Chief of Records.
The Great Chief of Records was instructed to notify Brother A. J.
Francis that he stood expelled from this Great Council, and that he also
notify Brother Francis' Tribe of the fact.
Thus ingloriously comes to end the career of a brilliant Red Man. He had
held every position of honor and trust that could have been conferred
upon him. A. J. Francis successively held the positions of Great Chief
of Records, Great Sachem, Great Incohonee of the G. C. U. S., Great
Representative to G. C. U. S. for many Great Suns, and Great Keeper of
Wampum of the Great Council of Kentucky for eleven Great Suns.
=1876.=
TWENTY-THIRD GREAT SUN COUNCIL.
We find no records of the session of this Great Sun, but from the
records of the ensuing Great Sun we learn that the following chiefs were
elected:
C. H. Conn Great Sachem
Geo. Knorr Great Senior Sagamore
G. A. Dempf Great Junior Sagamore
G. B. Kiteley Great Prophet
W. G. Stone Great Chief of Records
John Wolfhardt Great Keeper of Wampum
=1877.=
TWENTY-FOURTH GREAT SUN COUNCIL.
The Great Council fire was kindled in the wigwam of Pocahontas Tribe,
No. 3, hunting grounds of Newport, on the 24th sun of Buck moon, G. S.
D. 386, Great Sachem C. H. Conn presiding.
Representatives were present from Tribes Nos. 3, 10 and 17.
The Great Sachem's Journal and the report of the Great Chief of Records
are missing and no business is recorded except the election, which
resulted as follows:
George Brunk Great Sachem
John N. Stauder Great Senior Sagamore
James Vickers Great Junior Sagamore
C. H. Conn Great Prophet
W. G. Stone Great Chief of Records
John Wolfhardt Great Keeper of Wampum
John Wolfhardt Great Representative to G. C. U. S.
The Great Prophet said a prayer and the council fire was quenched.
=1878.=
TWENTY-FIFTH GREAT SUN COUNCIL.
