Henry Harrison in the invasion of
Canada.
Indian Teetotaler
After the war Between-the-logs
settled at Upper Sandusky, got
drunk and killed his wife. Then he
swore off drinking fire-water and
was among the first savages con
verted by Stewart. Incidentally,
Stewart did not know the Indian
language and had an interpreter, a
Negro renegade named Jonathan
Pointer. When Stewart preached the
interpreter would repeat it to the
Indians, adding: “That is what the
preacher said but I don’t believe it.”
Rohn-yen-ness was delegated by
the Wyandottes to kill Adam Poe.
He went to Poe’s house on Yellow
creek and was received with friend
liness, fe dand a pallet was made on
the floor for him to sleep. Unsus
pecting, Poe went to sleep and the
Indian remained awake waiting. The
ghosts of the Indians Poe had killed
would not rest until they had been
avenged.
It was nearly midnight when
Rohn-yen-nes, with his knife and
tomahawk, crept to the bedside of
his sleeping host. He raised the
knife—then halted. The Indian
thought of the kind way he had been
received and wept back to his pallet.
Several times that night he crept to
Poe’s bedside but withheld the knife.
Poe never knew how near he had
been to death with Rohn-yen-ness in
his cabin. The Indian became one
of Finley’s converts and a member
of the mission.
The stone mission was built with
government aid in 1924 and for 20
years the Indians met for worship
there and buried their dead in the
shadow of its walls. Then came the
treaty of 1942 and the removal of
the Wyandottes to a reservation
west of the Mississippi River.

the graves of the dead congregation,
should remain forever consecrated
for the purpose for which it original
ly was designed. “In order there
fore, that the object of the afore
said reservation may be secured and
carried out, we request that the
Methodist Episcopal church take pos
session thereof and appoint trustees
over the same according to its rules
and regulations,” the agreement said.
For a time after the Indians left
the graves and church were kept up
but soon were forgotten and the roof
decayed and fell in and the walls
crumbled. In 1888 however, the
Church made amends and restored
the grounds and mission as nearly
as possible to their original appear
ance.
When the Wyandottes left in 1942,
but one Indian remained—a wrinkled
old, full-blooded squaw, Mother
Solomon—the daughter of Chief
Grey-eyes, who lived alone in a cabin
on the bank of Sandusky River.
Lone Indian Remains
In 1943 she had followed the tribe
but after her husband, John Solom
on, died Margaret Grey-eyes return
ed—the only one of the tribe living
in Ohio, the last of the W’yandottes.
Born in 1816, she, had been one of
the mission’s first pupils in 1821 and
was the lone Indian present at
ceremonies marking its restoration
in 1889. She died at Upper San
dusky, August 17, 1890.
Mononous was another of the
Wyandotte braves who became a
Finley Convert and, having “a great
native eloquence,” was of great serv
ice to the mission as a local preach
er. Menonoue had great influence
among the Wyandottes and was
greatly respected by the whites as
well.
The Wyandotte Cemetery, South
Fourth Street, Upper Sandusky, Is
on the top of the plateau and over
looks Harrison-Smith Park. A na
tional museum, on the ground floor
of the court house, Wyandotte ana
Spring streets, has a collection of
50,000 articles—old coins, arrow
heads, fossils, stone implements,
pioneer furniture and documents.
There is Halbedel’s painting “The
Burning of Colonel Crawford,” ex
hibited at two World’s Fairs—and a
chair made from a human skeleton.
