PRINCESS KIL-SO-QUAH
DAUGHTER OF MIAMI CHIEFTAIN COMING
To Attend the Old Settler's Meeting in Angola August 14th.
Frank L. Adams, president of the Old Settlers' meeting, has
closed a contract to have present at the coming meeting in August,
the famous old Indian lady, Kil-so-quah, aged 103 years, daughter of
Chief Little Turtle. One of the greatest previous attractions
for the Old Settlers was Chief Simon Pokagon, and now Kil-so-quah
will be no less an attraction. Mr. Adams is surely arranging a
fine list of entertainments for the meeting, August 14th.
Chief Little Turtle, who was the father of Princess
Kil-so-quah, was a Miami chieftain, which tribe roamed through the
Wabash valley prior to the coming of the white man. He was
quite well known to the early settlers and was a friend to
them. His grave is in Allen county. The princess, and
there is no question concerning her royal Indian ancestry, now lives
in Huntington county, this state, and although she is more than a
hundred years old, she retains a vivid recollection of those early
days. Because of her advanced age, it is not possible for her
to make many long journeys, and the people of Steuben county are
fortunate that they are assured her presence on this occasion.
She will speak at the program for the old settlers exclusively in
the Methodist church in the morning, and if possible will appear on
the afternoon program in the courtyard. She is probably the
last fullblooded Indian in Indiana

REV. BART B. BIGLER
Rev. B. B. Bigler, born and raised in Steuben county, is to be
the chief speaker at the coming Old Settlers' meeting, August
14. Mr. Bigler, whose home is in Racine, Wisconsin, has
recently been called to the pastorate of the Flagler Memorial
Presbyterian church at St. Augustine, Florida. His many
Steuben county friends will be glad to see him again and hear him
speak. Indeed it will be a rare treat.

Princess Kil-so-quah, who is the middle person in the above
picture, is a daughter of Little Turtle, the last of the Miami
chieftains who roamed through Northern Indiana, especially in the
Wabash Valley, at the coming of the white man. She is now 103
years old, and will be brought here by her son, whose picture,
together with that of her daughter, form the other two persons
of the above group. She will speak at the meeting in the
Methodist church exclusively for old settlers.
August 6, 1913
The Old Settlers' Meeting on Thursday of next week promises to
be one of the best ever held in Angola. Extensive preparations
are being made to entertain the large crowd that will be
present. The meetings and programs for the Old Settlers and
Pioneers are full of interesting things, and the speakers are some
of the best ever heard in our city on similar occasions. The
Rev. Dr. B. B. Bigler, lately called to the Flagler Memorial church
at St. Augustine, Florida, will be the chief orator of the
day. His early acquaintance in this county and his later
widespread reputation will doubtless command a large hearing.
Thomas E. Ellison, of Fort Wayne, also well known in this section,
has also been engaged, and these able men will bring interesting
messages of good cheer to all, old and young alike.
A very interesting character also secured for the day is
Princess Kil-so-quah, perhaps the only full blood Indian now living
in the state of Indiana. She is the daughter of Chief Little
Turtle, whose tribe used to roam about the Miami valley and the
territory about Fort Wayne, his grave, with many interesting relics
having been found only a short time ago in Allen county.
Princess Kil-so-quah is 103 years old and lives at Roanoke, Indiana,
and will come dressed in Indian costume. She does not speak
the English language, but expresses herself in her own native Indian
tongue.
Another reminder of the olden days will be the ox team, a fine
yoke having been secured for the day, and it is the intention to
present them in a way that will recall old customs. It is
probable that few of the younger generation have ever seen a team of
this kind in actual service, and this should be a very interesting
item to them, as well as to the older people
The Angola band has been engaged for the occasion, and Angola
takes great pride in claiming the best band in Northern
Indiana. People come for many miles to hear the concerts given
by this band in our city, and this will be an excellent opportunity
to hear a nice program of their excellent music. They will be
assisted by the band connected with the Vogel Minstrels, more of
which will be said later. So there will be a plenty of good
music. And then there will be a drummers' and fifers' reunion,
and they will produce a "sheepskin" band the size of which has never
been excelled in our city. This is the music that always
straightens out the kinks in your spine and sends the blood coursing
through your veins, and they will add greatly to the life of the
day.
The following program has been drawn up for the day, and while
it may be varied slightly, yet it is probable that the events will
occur in the order here named.
9:30 a.m., arrival of ox team and family; Indian maidens, etc.
ets.

foregoing, Prof. Howard Long, recently returned from the
Philippines, will have on display a great many articles of interest
from that country. These articles will be of great educational
value and extreme interest. Look for this big display under a
large tent.
The John W. Vogel's Big City Minstrels will give one of their
celebrated performances in the Croxton opera house in the evening,
as well as one on Wednesday evening in the same place. The
manager of the theatre is extremely fortunate in securing this great
attraction for the occasion, and you should stay and see it.
They carry their own band and will contribute to the musical program
of the day.
There will be all forms of amusement for the day:
Merry-go-round, Ocean Wave, Parades, Picture Shows all day, and all
of the things which usually go to make such an occasion merry.
Lay aside your cares for the day, and come and be a guest of Angola,
and you will be accorded a gracious welcome and assured a good time.
In addition to the amusements already named, there will also
be two great games of base ball at the Angola ball park between
Tri-State College and Edon, Ohio. One is scheduled for the
forenoon and one for the afternoon, and both will be fast and
entertaining games.
The efforts of the new president, Frank L. Adams, have been
untiring in the making of a glorious entertainment for the great
crowd that day, and we assure all of our readers that the
celebration will be a great and complete success.

FRANK L. ADAMS
The New President of the Old Settlers' Association
OLD SETTLERS MEETING
August 20, 1913
Largest Crowd in Years Throngs Angola. Last Thursday.
Great Program and Series of Spectacular Events Carried Out.
Everybody is Happy, even the Ox Team.
Another great annual event for Steuben county has come and
gone into history in the observance of the day set apart many years
ago in honor of the Pioneers of this section of the country.
The weather was threatening during the early morning, in fact all
the forenoon it looked as if it would rain most any minute, but
there was no rain during the day. Of course the really old
settlers were scarce, and each year it will be more so, but the
pioneers who cleared away the forests and made possible our
beautiful homes, must not be forgotten. The elaborate program,
costing hundreds of dollars, was carried out to the letter and all
pronounced the exercises a success. Frank L. Adams, the
president, is free in expressing his appreciation of our business
men who handed out their round dollars, even when it was evident
that no returns would come to some of them, the general desire being
to give the people a good time and perpetuate the name Angola has
for royally entertaining the multitudes.
The old folks' meeting in the Methodist church was the largest
attended of any in recent years, and a great many were unable to
gain admittance. The meeting was called to order by President
Adams, who gave a grief welcome to the old settlers. Rev.
Nickerson delivered the invocation, and an old folks quartet sang an
old time song. Prof. Chas. Shank gave a recitation, and then
Prof. A. W. Long spoke on the oldtime public school, giving some
personal reminiscences of pioneer days. Miss Aldrich gave a
fine violin solo, which was followed by a tribute to the pioneers by
G. T. Abbey, himself one of the early pioneers of the county.
Mr. Abbey's address was an eloquent one and was highly appreciated
by all who heard him. Fred Frisbie entertained the audience in
his inimitable manner with an illustrated song, "Old Black Joe," and
his quickly devised idea of a "suf-regret." Paul Bachelor, a
former Angola boy, and now of Ft. Wayne, sang a solo, "A
Perfect Day," in a manner that revealed to the audience that he has
wonderful ability as a baritone. Paul formerly pleased the
people as a child with his singing, and all were glad to know of his
continued ability along this line. F. B. VanAuken spoke for a
short time, and recited several incidents of pioneer days in an
interesting way. After his talk, Prof. VanScott, an old-time
violinist of the county, entertained the audience with several old
fashioned selections. President Adams had announced that he
would give two Bibles to the oldest man and oldest woman present,
and the prizes fell to Henry P. Hathaway, aged 92, of Angola, who
came to Steuben county in 1848, and to Mrs. Permelia Gleason, of
Fremont, aged 88, who has lived in the county since 1861. A
souvenir badge, bearing the picture of the late president, Stephen
A. Powers, was given to each settler who had lived in the county
over fifty years.
The exercises in the park were opened by a song by the Old
Folks' quartette, composed of young people, but furnished good music
just the same. Thomas E. Ellison, of Fort Wayne, son of a
pioneer of this county and LaGrange, talked to the people,
contrasting these days with the earlier ones in the history of this
section of Indiana. Paul Bachelor sang a song, and then came
the principal address of the day by Rev. B. B. Bigler, a former
Pleasant township boy, now a leading minister of the Presbyterian
church, located at Racine, Wisconsin. His address from
beginning to end was well received, and we heard many compliments
for it on every hand. Florence Kaufman, of LaGrange, followed
with a monologue, which the people enjoyed very much. The
fiddlers' contest between Mark Mallory, aged 81 years, George
Goodrich and James Vanscoit, resulted in each getting the first
prize. As usual the speakers were greatly annoyed by people
talking and moving about in the audience. It would be easier
to talk against a brass band, for then the attention of the people
would be centered on one or the other, and not distracted in a
hundred ways.
NOTES OF THE DAY
The coffee, made by Chas. Noyes, was fine, but not half enough
of it.
It goes without saying that the fireworks were the finest ever
witnessed in Angola.
Henry P. Hathaway easily won the prize for being the oldest
pioneer present, as his age is 92 years.
In the death list this year there is one over hundred; two
over 90; 24 over 80; 30 over 70, and 17 over 60 years of age.
Howard Long had 1309 paid admissions to his Philippine
exhibit, and all were delighted and interested, especially the
teachers.
Eliza Thompson, of Charlotte, Michigan, a daughter of Henry
Gaskill, and who was born in Otsego in 1852, was here to renew old
acquaintances.
H. H. Thomas and wife, of Kalamazoo, were busy renewing
acquaintances of other days in this county. Mr. Thomas has a
store in Kalamazoo and is prospering.
The drum corps, composed of 21 pieces, was the largest
and the niosiest ever seen in Angola. The music stirred
the hearts of the people, as such music always does.
Mrs. E. A. Baker, of Wolcottville, who was born in Pleasant
township, was here, but don't count herself one of our pioneers,
although she is a daughter of one of the earliest.
Frank Whitney, a deaf mute from Montgomery, who called with
his friend Herbert Uran, for a picture of Mr. Powers, on receiving
one wrote on a tablet: "I knew him well."
Ira Anderson and wife, of Montpelier, Ohio, formerly of
Hudson, enjoyed the day very much, Mr. Anderson went to Montpelier
when the shops were moved from Ashley.
According to the plan suggested by the late Francis Macartney,
one entitled to be called an old settler must have lived in the
county for fifty or more years. Are you an old settler?
LeGarre's acts on the spiral tower, requiring 22 minutes at
each exhibition, were executed in fine style, showing what wonders
may be accomplished when time and attention is given to any
endeavor.
J. B. Lemmon, of Otsego, came to Steuben county with his
parents, Morris Lemmon and wife, from Sandusky county, Ohio, in
1842, and out of a family of eight children, seven are living, the
youngest over sixty years of age.
Andrew Ellison, father of Thomas E. Ellison, of Fort Wayne,
who spoke on this occasion, delivered the principal address at the
pioneer meeting twenty-four years ago, of which mention is made in
our Recollection Column.
Frank L. Adams proved himself a good president and had every
detail of the meeting well in hand, even to the guiding of the
runaway ox team, mentioned elsewhere. Frank Jackson, as usual,
proved a valuable assistant, as did Chas. Elya.
About the happiest mortal in Angola on this occasion was Mrs.
Permelia Gleason, mother of Mrs. Elizabeth Sowle, who at the age of
88 years was given the prize of a fine Bible, being the oldest lady
first settler in attendance at this reunion.
Mrs. J. C. Merry, of Sturgis, and her brother, Harvey Balding,
of South Bend, were here for the meeting. Mrs. Merry is a
daughter of George Balding and wife, deceased, and was born in
Pleasant township in 1838, and Mr. Balding four years later.
The writer has worked at the same desk in the Republican
office for thirty-six years, and practically every old settlers' day
during that time, Stephen Dixon, of near Hamilton, has called to pay
for the Republican, which he has taken for over forty years.
Mrs. John T. Foster, of Otsego, has lived in the county for
over 70 years, coming with her parents, Dr. Smith and wife, from
Williams county when she was eighteen months old. Mrs. Foster
has a good memory and enjoys talking about the early days.
The day before the meeting an Angola man asked in all
seriousness if the rural routes would go out on Old Settlers'
day. He evidently thought the pioneer meeting in Angola would
stop the clock in the White House. Well, it was some event,
nevertheless.
Watt Trowbridge and wife, of LaGrange, formerly of this
county, made their annual visit to the old home county. Mr
Trowbridge was a member of the 100th Indiana Volunteers, and
because of injury in the service is now practically blind, not being
able to recognize any one by sight.
It would hardly seem like an old settlers' meeting if Andrew
Croy, the pioneer hunter, was not present. He was here, but is
quite feeble and hardly able to talk. He is living with his
daughter, Mrs. John Champion, north of the city, and is 87 years of
age. When a young man, a deer or other wild game stood a slim
chance when in range of his trusty rifle.
One Angola lady, who has lived in the county for over sixty
years and enjoys these annual meeting, says on the occasion of the
meeting in 1912 she stood over the cook stove most of the day,
feeding 12 for dinner and 22 for supper. She thinks as much of
her friends as ever, but last Thursday she got her work done early
and locking her doors, came up town and had a good time with the
rest of the people.
Kil-so-quah, the Indian princess, was here according to
agreement, but was so feeble and sick that she could have but little
part in the exercises. Looked as if this would be the last old
settlers' meeting for her. The truth is she ought not to have
come, for to ask a woman 103 years old and sick, to ride 130 miles
in an automobile in one day, is out and out cruelty. When the
son was asked why he did so, he answered by saying: "We needed the
money."
Mrs. Amos Vaughn, of Pleasant Lake, had talked about the day
for three months and was over anxious to be on hand, so on that
morning her husband was awakened by a light in the kitchen, and
thinking the house was on fire, made haste to put it out. On
reaching the kitchen door he said to his wife: "What is the
matter?" The answer was that she was getting breakfast and
it's half past four. Then Mr. Vaughn had a joke on his wife,
for it was only a quarter after two.
There was some drinking of intoxicants about town, as there is
and perhaps always will be on such occasions, but never so little of
it as we had last Thursday. With open saloons the doors of
such places would have been fanning from early morning until
midnight. When whiskey is easy to get and the sale of it
backed up by law, then trouble begins, but when what is procured is
done so largely in defiance of law, nine-tenths of the people
inclined to drink will not take the chances.
The day was free from accidents, but there came near being a
serious one when the ox team ran away. The fine team belonged
to John Fee, of near Hamilton, and under ordinary circumstances he
had them under good control, and was confident he could manage them
in a crowd. Precaution was taken, however, to tie a rope to
the pin that held the chain to the wagon tongue, so in case they did
start to run, the team could be freed from the wagon. All went
well until near the Methodist church, when the oxen took fright and
started. Mr. Fee caught hold of the right horn of the off ox
and Frank L. Adams the left horn of the nigh ox, and away they went
with their precious load of men, women and children, down South West
street. The man who had the rope pulled out the pin according
to orders, but the ring in the yoke caught on the iron at the end of
the tongue, so the precaution was of no avail. Mr. Adams was
able to keep his hold, but Mr. Fee fell behind. Mr.
Adams, now the only hope of the people in the wagon, made it as
uncomfortable as possible for his ox, but was not succeeding very
well until the off ox stepped on the chain by which they were to
pull the load, thus checking the speed of the team and turning it to
the side of the road in front of Dr. Wolfe's residence where it was
stopped, and Frank L. given a much needed breathing spell before
taking charge of the exercises at the church.
