53335551 TROBABLY there has been no other tale handed down to 6 the present descendants of the old pioneers who settled 1 in the territory of the Miami Indians which equals the in adventure, romance, and fascination found in the story of the Frances Slocum Trail. Frances Slocum was born at Wfarwick, Rhode Island, in March of the year 1773. At the age of five years she was kidnaped from her father's home in Pennsylvania by the Delaware Indians. From that year on, no trace of her could be found. In the year 1837, however, her brother and sister, having read a letter describing an aged white woman in the Miami In- dian village near Peru, came to see her and identified her as their long lost sister. Frances Slocum had no recollection of her native language, and all knowledge of Christianity had left her. She was an Indian save for her fair skin and light-colored hair. She had a vague remembrance of being captured by savages who took her to a cave in the mountains whence they departed to the Indian country. An Indian family adopted her and brought her up as their own daughter. For years she roamed the country and became an expert in the Indian arts, crafts, and cooking. When she had grown to womanhood, she married a young chief of the nation and moved with him to Ohio. She was extremely happy with her Indian husband, so happy in fact, that she dreaded being discovered and being compelled to live with white people. After the death of her first husband, she married an Indian of the Miami Tribe. When her brother and sister found her, she had long been a widow with her joy centered in her children and grand-children. For thirty-two years she lived near Peru, and died in her silvan home March 9, 1847. She was given a Christian burial. The white girl was called Maconaquah, Wliite Rose, by the Indians, and was regarded by them as a queen. Her life was happy amid Indian surroundings, for she was treated kindly and was provided with comfortable conditions in which to live.
