INDIAN TRAIL ‘‘The tall young chief grasped the ‘medal‘ eagerly and said "My father was a brave man, he fell in battle on this very ground. We were never able to find his ‘medal‘.

"I studied music with Emnie Sites and later he was head of Gorries. I later taught music at the Conservatory of Music," Mrs. Graham continued. The farm was called "Woodâ€" side." It was situated on Lot 14, Second Concession, South Dunâ€" das Streetâ€""and the storms of winter caused the snow! to drift in between chinks of logs."

Then the Indians took them a short distance and the mother was freed. They told her she was not to raise an alarm as the children would be harmed if she did so. The family hunted for three years for the children. They took with them a huge box of beads and all sorts of pretty trinkets. They drove to the camp.
