Arkansas City Traveller: Prince Albert
is dead. He passed into the happy hunt
ing grounds at Usage last Saturday and
was buried with honors and just the same
as a white man. A coffin was made and
the prince was laid away in the cemetery
upon the reservation. Prince Albert was
a colored man and the only one who was
ever taken into the tribe of Usage Indians.
He was brought into the tribe by some of
the Choctaws. His parents were slaves for
them and Albert was but a baby-that was
many years ago Finally the boys parents
died and he was permitted to marry into
the tribe. No one knew his age but he
was undoubtedly the oldest man on the
reservation.
