In every way he wns a‘ remarkable man and a typical indian. Okemos was born (on' what was known in later times as Knagxs’ reaâ€" ervatlon, on the Shlawueee river, in Michigan. He went early to live on Grand river, at Shiminlcon, 24 miles tron: Lansing. 'on what was afterward the great uni] room Detroit toGrand Rapids.
