and burial purposes and no other. By .
deed dated July IL, 1S43, the church and
burying ground was conveyed to the M. T..
Church, the church agreeing to keep the
place from desecration.
The Indians left for the West on July IL,
1S4S. On the Sunday before they held a
last solemn service in the old stone church
and bid it an affectionate farewell. After
the services they gathered about in the
churchyard and dropped their last tears on
the graves, each one of which had been
marked with headstone.
For time after their departure the
church was kept up nicely and the graves
were unmolested, but as time wore on the
sacrilegious hand of the relic hunter
chipped pieces from the headstones and car
rled of souvenirs from the woodwork OF the
church. The roof decayed and fell in and
