Frontier Nurse Dies at Great Age Winnebago, Neb., Dec. 24.?Once under the protection of Kit "Carson from hostile Indium}, the former nurse of that Kentucky frontiersman's wife, Emily Fontenelle, died in an Indian reservation hospital today at the age of 109 years. The aged woman was of mixed French Und Indian blood, 'but spent her long life among the Pawnee Indians, although she was an offspring of French nobility. She was a eisterin-law of Logan Fontenelle, a powerful chief, whoso name was great in early days. While Kit Carson was watching over Indians west of the Missouri, he often helped Mrs. Fontenelle's tribe tight otT the savage Sioux, and naturally saw that Kmily, his wife's nurse, was protectod.

Her mother, a full blood iPuwnoe, once kjJjed a Sioux warrior and wounded aftbther in her protection during a raid. Her husband, once sent to recall a hunting party of Indians, to defend Bellevue, noW a suburb of Omaha, rode his horse to death and then raced on foot for miles, dropping from exhaustion aS he reached the Buffalo hunters, Before her marriage she was Emily Pappan, daughter of Laforoe Pappan, a French trader who had come up the Missouri River from St. Louis, and a Pawnee Indian. She lived at Decatur, Neb., after her marriage at 18 to Henry Fontenelle. In her childhood Nebraska was a wilderness. Indian tribes roamed the plains, stalking buffalo. The warlike Sioux raided the Omahas and Pawnees. The only white men in the country were traders or missionaries. Her husband was tho son of Lucien Fontenelle, another St. Louis trader, ahd ai\ Omaha Indian. Lucien was the grandson of a - French marquis who migrated to St. Louis when it was a French settlement. At Decatur in* 1841, Henry Fontenelle built a home of stone and walnut carried up the river from St. Louis. Mrs. Fontenelle was the mother of eight children. Only one is still living.
