Frazier names

[ecollins]

My g-g-Uncle is Artemas Ehnamani (Frazier). He is the brother to my g-g-Grandmother Emily (Anpaodutawin-however, there are many variations to spelling) I am researching the Artemas - Rebecca Ite Wakan or Winyan line. I have their children being Viola/John Eastman, Albert/Elizabeth Howe, Elizabeth/Vines Mitchell, Fannie, and Francis/Margaret. Francis/Margaret's children Fannie, Dr. George Judson/Emma Scott, Jean, Hohn, Sally, Alice/Alex Brave, Armela, Francis Phillilp/Susie Meek, and Jane. My g-g-grandmother Emily married William Dunsmore and had one child Willard. Then she married William Cantley and had Arthur/Alberta Dickey, George/Mary Ann, Alice Irene/George Bohn, Albert Irvin/Anna Dunne, and my g-grandmother Mary Agnes/John Morris/Chester Rose. Mary Cantley, Morris, Rose's children Edna, Anna, John, Violet, Charles, Philander, Adelbert (my grandfather), Ethelwynn, Chester, Amy Arthur, Dorothy, and Clytha. I know my grandfather was born on the reservation and is Santee Sioux (I have BIA confirmation on registry numbers but no listing of the reservation). I am wondering if anyone knows of the reservation in/near Wales-Two Harbors, MN. There are several surnames listed on the trees I have been sent. Rebecca Winyan's side is very large to include but not be limited to: Kitto, Brave, Simmons, Frederick, Graham, Tibbits, Peniska, Walker, Scott. If any of these names sound familiar please reply.

As far as i can tell, you r ancestors would have been registered with the Santee Indian Reservation at Niobrara, NE.

Modification:
i meant to say Artemus Ehnamani would have been registered there, or at flandreau.
Anpaxodan died 2 1919/1920 at the Age of @ 70 yrs. Willard Dunsmore was living at Shell lakew,wisconsin,an well as several Cantleys.
Look for a reservation near this place.

Eash reservation has their own numbers - what are the first three numbers of his enrollment number.

The first three numbers are all different. What I noticed is that 1917 is the same. I was wondering if everyone was registered in 1917 which happens to be the year Emily Cantley died. The letter from the BIA states that the enumeration is from the Mdewakantan/Wapekute ?? rolls. The McLaughlin Rolls are also mentioned but there is no direct statement saying the numbers are from those specific rolls.

Artemus' probate is at the courthouse in Knox Cty, Center Ne. I saw it there this last summer when I went there on two different occasions. The person that you ask for is Betty Boggs, She is in charge of all probates.

I came accross this on google as I was searching for information on my ancestry and after reading this my heart stopped. My name is Francis Thomas Judson Hepi Frazier, my father was Thomas Alfred Frazier and I to am a decendant from Ehnamani and am an enrolled member of the Santee Sioux tribe. We are family it seems. PM me I'd love to hear more about this. It would be great !
PEACE!

Okay sum where on this board was a discussion regarding Fraziers. I apologize I have been gone for such a long time that I have forgotten the thread. Okay, Artemas Frazier was not aa Frazier after all. His wife Rebecca was a Frazier. Artemas' sister Maggie married a John Frazier. I believe the story went that he and John were so close that he took the Frazier name. Any of my Frazier relatives correct me if I am wrong on this.

I will do a search and see if I can locate the place on the forum.

Maggie

wazi: You were right about this. My local Santees also said the same thing about Artemus, taking the surname of his wife.

I ran across this article a few days ago and thought i would share. There is also a photo Of Artemas Ehnamani. His is my GGG-Grama's brother.

ARTEMAS EHNAMANI

Hunter, Warrior, and Missionary
BY REV. A.L. RIGGS, D.D. Nebraska

In the year of the great Peace Convention of the warring Indian Tribes of the Northwest, held at Prairie du Chine, Wis. A.D. 1825, a Dakota Indian Boy was born at Redwing, Minn., who was afterward Know as E-hna-ma-ni – “one who walks among.” As a boy he Played by the waters of the noble Mississippi, or camped with his People on the shores of the near-by Lake Pepin. Or at times he would Go with his father, who was a priest of the Indian’s religion, to the Top of that strange hill that stands sentinel of all the river valley, Named by the Dakotas “Mountain-water-wood,” and there lay offerings Of scarlet swan’s down and tobacco before the sacred boulder.
The peace between the Ojibwas and Dakotas was of short duration, and, while yet a stripling lad; Ehnamani was on the war-trail to the enemy’s Country; so he gained toughness and renown. But that which he rejoiced in Most was the deer hunt, in which his skill was always rewarded by a heavy
Pack of venison coming home.
In his village was an Indian maiden, of course-yes, many of them. But there was one in particular who had many suitors. Even the young Chief Wabashaw, from the lower end of the lake, had been attracted by her loveliness and high pedigree, and thought himself sure of the prize. But our Ehnamani walked in among them all and carried off the princess.
Up to manhood he had not met with any Christian missionaries. When a young man he had once seen some Roman Catholic priests, and had made fun of them because they dressed like women. Not until the Sioux War of 1862. When he was a prisoner in Mankato, Minn., with four hundred others who were condemned to death, did he come
Face to face with the gospel of Christ. He was thorough heathen, inducted into the mysteries of the religion by his father, who left with him at his death his medicines and mystic charms.
But, as frequently said in his sermons, no one had come back from the dead to proof the truth of the Indian’s religion, nor had any one come before who could promise
Forgiveness of sins. So, when he learned of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who came to the earth so save men, his heart at once responded and he gave him allegiance. Whoever chose for him the name Artemas when he was baptized we cannot say. But as three hundred converts were baptized all at once, it is probable that names of apostles and prophets were exhausted before they came to him, and they had to go out into the byways of the scripture record for his name.
Yet he was one of the chief apostles. Licensed to preach in 1866, he was ordained pastor of Pilgrim Church at Santee Agency, Neb., in 1867. From time to time he made trips, with the missionaries or alone, among the wild tribes of the Sioux or Dakotas, and showed his ability to gain their attention and favor. Afterwards, when the Christian representatives of these same wild tribes have gathered with us in yearly council, it has been Pastor Ehnamani’s great glory that he has been privileged to have a share in their redemption.
Two sons share with him these missionary honors: Francis, who is the ordained missionary at Burrell Station, Rosebud Reservation and Albert, who is the unordained pastor at Bazille, Neb.; and a grandson. George is nearly through his course of medical training at Denver Homeopathic College.
Pastor Ehnamani left us, after a brief illness, on the eve of this last Easterday. He has met Him face to face who is the resurrection and the Life, and now walks among His shining ones.
