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 early life was flllod with the
incidents of which Wild West stories
were replete. 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.
Eugene Fontenelle, 74, who lives at
Decatur.
