Indian History And Cherokees Who Remained (Written for The Star by J. A. Wilson i During the recent Baptist State Convention at Shelby in J929. some thing out Of the ordinary happened when the 12 churches of the Chero kee Indian association presented themselves for membership in that great body of Baptists. Ex- Chief Owl, assisted by Chief Otter and Rev. and Mrs. Lee wno have charge of that field of Bap tists work among the Indians of the Great Smoky mountains of this state were presented to the audi ence. And this association of 12 In dian churches are descendants of those who refused to go west of the Mississippi river by order of Gen eral Jackson just 90 years ago. When that order was made a few hun dred in each of the Southern states refused to come in and be sent out to the Indian reservation beyond the Mississippi river. Ninety yeats has passed. Fate has made the d‘ cendants of those who went, tire richest people on earth.

Many years ago, on a cold aid snowy day, when I was a very small boy, we sat, around a big log fire at iny lather's home anti listened to tales by an old Indian fighter, Wil liam Clary who had campaigned General Taylor In the Everglades of Florida against the Scmtnoles. He told of how they had to shoot the Indians from the tall trees in the cypress swamps and of the great battle of Lake Okeechobee on Christmas day 1838 In which the In dians were defeated and scattered It was a year later when they got them together and sent them to In dian territory. Only a few hundred stayed back In their native swamps and claim title to that land today as you saw In the papers a few days ago. William Clary has many descend- j ents in this and adjoining counties of North and South Carolina. With a grandson, the late Wm. D. Lem ons, my boyhood friend, who fet tled in Florida some years ago.
