Death of John Slocum

John Slocum, one of the best-knowr
Indians in this vicinity, died at his
hmeo on Oyster Bay last week and was
buried at the Oakland cemetery FRI
day, attended by large number of In
dams and their families from the Sko-
komish reservation and other points.
He was the eldest son Of S'Dup, or Old
Slocum, the chief of the Squaxin Indi.
ans, who is still living at an advanced
age, at the camp down the bay, blind
and supported by his surviving souaw.
Aunty Slocum. John has been the
nominal chief of this tribe for manv
years, and as the result of vision
seen in three-days trance in 1881, on
Squaxin island, he became a "good
Indian" and was the leader of the So
called shaker" religion, which he
has since preached to the Improve
ment of the general morals of the In
dams. The Ledger has published a
good account of the famous trance
which is repub1ished elsewhere. to-
gether with "cut" of S1ocum, fur
nished by courtesy of the Ledger. Slo-
cum had another trance about five
years ago and his belief was strength
ened, as well as his influence with the
Indians.
The S1ocums were living here when
David Shelton settled at this point,
and the1b boys, John and Tom, latter
now living on 40-acre tract of land
adjoining town, were the only play
mates of the Shelton boys. s. Dup,
as chief, had a large meeting house
on the creek where the home of w. H.
kneeland is now located, but his tribe
was not part of the Skokomish tribe.
They have a small reservation on
Squaxin Island, but the tribe is al
! most extinct, and the few remaining
are scattered about the various bays,
mainly engaged in oystering.
Soon after the first trance S1ocum
built church down the bay opposite
the Atkins place, and it was here tina,
he had the second trance. The church
was the general meeting place for the
Shaker Indians, but was burned some
years ago. S1ocum was about 81 years
old, and was quite well informed.
About ten years ago he was logging
on the hill just west of town and was
quite successful. He was we'll known
to the pioneers of Mason County, ant
had many friends among the "Bos
tons.''
