PLAN TO MARK
INDIANjGRAVES (Continued from page one)
preserved in the papers of the late
Rev. J. A. Deal; Episcopal minister
who ministered to Chief Chutah
sotih and his wife, and the "late
D..AV. Siler. - y
Recalls Chief
It is said that Chirtahscrtih was
the chief of a small group of
Cherokees known as the Sandtown
band. In the year 1879 Mr. Siler
wrote as' follows: -
"On Cartoogechaye, in Macon
county, I visited today my old
friend the Indian chief Chah-Chah.
A ' scene of long ago seemed to
reappear as I looked upoii "his
venerable form. In the year 1843,
Major . James Robinson, . father of
your Lieutenant Governor, was ap
pointed by the autohonties at
Washington to persuade the Chero
kees east of the Mississippi to
join their tribe west of the Mis
sissippi. On the - day appointed,
Chah-Chah, having assembled his
people, gaver respectful, attention
to forcible and pointed ' argument
in favor of emmigration. Then,
rising, he raised his hand as none
but a Clay or an Indian can and
said : , 'In sight of that mountain
I have lived and in sight of ". it I
expect to die. My talk is ended.'
'The couch on which . the old
chief lies and from which- he will
probably soon -pass to the eternal
world commands a view ot this
same mountain top." , .
. Rev.' Mr. D Account
Following is what Rev Mr. .Deal
said about the same Indian and
his- wife. N
"Entered into rest on the 15th
Chutahsotih, (called by the whites,
Jim Pecfcerwood), aged about
years. Also on the 17th at one
o'mlock V m. Kuntakih (Sallie),
wife of the rSve, aged about 83."
(The year was 1879).- Mr. -Deal
said further "Here in their home,
which they loved so well, they lived
together in wedlock upward 'of 50
years and for the last quarter of a
Century, "(heir exemplary, lives have
spoken to those - around them of
the wonderful influnce of the grace
of God upon the heart of eVen the
Red Man of the. forest,' " During
his life Jim had been called upon
to witness . some very great and
important changes. The noble for
est of his tribe disappeared "before
the settler's axe. Their hunting
ground was forever lost; the land
was sol4 , to the white . man and
the government removed, the Chero
kees to ' the far West.' While en
route .. for their destination Jim
escaped 'from 'the encampment,
somewhere" in Tennessee where
they , were hinrtered Dy some
scourge of disease breaking out
among them, and returned to his
native hills, where as a boy he
had played and where at last heJ
hoped to die. , , "
Died in Poverty.
' 's a mighty, hunter and as a
peaceful tiller of the soil he spent
the remaining years of his lifcwin
ning the commendation of those
around him. The last few years of
his life have been years of af
fliction. When I first visited him
in the. Autumn of 1877, though
much enfeebled with care and suf
fering. he was as yet a noble suec
imen of the Red Man. The grace-
of God was fitting this once sav
age" nature for the rest of the
faithful. Already his mental gaze
seemed1 removed' from his native
cloud-capped lulls and fUnl upon
the changelessncss of 'the . ctem.i.
world, henceforth the soul's only
home. Never can I forget scenes
which ! have witnessed in his cab
in. l had prayers vvnn nun wncn
I could and from time to time ad
ministered to him and his wife the
sacrement of the Lord's Supper.
In briefly sketching one suth oc
casion I describe all :
An Earnest Christian
"A raw, cloudy, winter day has
chilled hope from the earth. . One
small door feebly admits the dying
Hghf of day into the poor cabin.
Within," all is rude and poor to
the last degree. , An aged white
haired - man. sits ' before me with
hewed head or Ual.;' and v,i:'i i;
repeats the Lord's 1'iayer. . iNoW
we sing lils favorite 1 : 1 ivi 1 1 . "When
I Can Read my Titles Clear'"
With difficulty he rises, the tears
literally strcamiiv; .down his face
which is lit up with a gladness not
of-earth and sins with all his
soul of the pile hope so .dear to
him. As the time of his departure
drew nearer his soul seemed filled
more 'and more with the. love of
God. He prayed much and with
rapture spoke of going home to be
with . his loved ones. ,
'Thus . passed away this . loving
soul The' desire of , his early lit e
had been gratified. His remains
rest in the soil he loved." " r . .
