content: Roach has purple yarn with it. Yarn has tag attached with the name "Rev. F. W. Smith", who is perhaps the collector?; this name does not appear in Anthropology's files as a donor. Back of tag is stamped "Poisoned", indicating artifact was treated with arsenic.

content: See also ET951B, which also has the name Rev. F. W. Smith associated with it. Cory Willmott, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, notes related to ET951B: Rev. F.W. Smith is possibly Reverend Frederick W. Smith (ca. 1849 - 1932), an Ojibwa preacher at White Earth Reservation under Bishop Whipple. There is a photograph of him in the Bishop Whipple collection (Collection III.40.259) of the Minnesota Historical Society: http://collections.mnhs.org/cms/display.php?irn=10297975&return=brand=cms (accessed 6/20/2017). Smith's wife Sophie was a beadwork artist. It is possible that EC422 may be part of the Victor Justice Evans collection.
