STATE HISTORIANS
CLOSE CONVENTION
Many Members Attended Interesting
Meeting Held on University
Campus.
The Nebraska State Historical So
ciety, a state institution, assembled
for its forty-fourth annual convention,
in the University of Nebraska Library
building Tuesday and Wednesday of
this week.
Mrs. Henry Fontenelle or Decatur,
eighty-six years old, widow of the
youngest brother of Logan Fontenelle,
last chief of the Omaha Indians, was
present and gave the Historical So
ciety a beautiful necklace, known as
''e Fontenelle necklace, which had
been given to her by Peter A. Sarpy,
'. historic Nebraska trader, when she
was twelve years old. A bead-covered
handbag, Indian handiwork, accom
ianied the beads as a container.
Mrs. Harriet L. MacMurphy who
has been acquainted with Mrs. Fon
tenelle since 1863, made the pre
sentation speech on behalf of the
aged pioneer. She told much of the
life history of Mrs. Fontenelle and
her people and the story of the neck
lace which is a part of the history of
three Important French families
prominent in early Nebraska history
and of two Indian tribles.
Mrs. Fontenelle Speaks.
Mrs. Fontenelle spoke briefly be
fore the meeting, telling of her pleas
ure at being present. She conveyed
her message in spite of her advanced
age. .
President Don L. Love of Lincoln
presided at the Tuesday evening pro
gram In the Art Hall which Rev.
Michael A. Shine of Plattsmouth
opened with a paper on "Peter A.
Sarpy and Nebraska History." He
had gathered a great amount of early
history pertaining to Sarpy and
through this showed Sarpy to have
come to Nebraska in 1833 instead of
in 1823 as has some times been erro
neously stated. Sarpy was born in
St. Louis in 1805. He engaged in
business at Bellevue where he was
married to an Indian woman.
Tells of Work in France.
Colonel Arthur C. Stokes of Omaha,
who was in charge of base hospital
No. 49 in the world war, told of the
organization and activities of that
Nebraska unit which was an impor
tant factor and which haH received
much note from its work in Fiance.
This organization originally consisted
of 152 enlisted men, 100 nurses and
26 officers but the number was in
creased from time to time. The unit
in France received as high as 346
patients in one day and at one time
had 1,916 in the hospital. The speak
er told In detail the manner in which
wounded men were handled from the
time of their arrival at the base
hospital from the front. The de.ath
rate among these men, strange though
It may Beem, was less per thousand
than that in the average American
city In normal life.
