content: Banjo Louie was so called because he played the banjo. The old lady could recall the Astoria men, and was supposed to have been 110 when she died. According to letter of Mrs Tuthill, April 12, 1966, Jennie Michele or Michell, "the last of the Clatsop Indians," is mentioned in "Clatsop County, its History, Legends and Industries," by Emma Gene Miller, 1958. Her Indian name is there given as Tsin-is-tum. She was born in the vicinity of Seaside or Astoria in 1816 and died in 1905. In 1900 she went with a committee from the Oregon Historical Society to show them the location of Fort Clatsop.
