Re: Finding distant family on the Menominee Reservation

Greg,

Your grandmother Dolly's maiden name is Wheeler. The Wheeler family is from northern Minnesota, in the Remer/Longville area. I know that's your Dolly as I know Dolly married a John Menominee and lived on a reservation at some point. Dolly was my grandfather Lewis' sister. They had a large family, see attached pic... I think she's one of the ladies in the front... I'll have to ask my aunt as she knows all about this side of the family. Your dad is one of the babies that the ladies are holding, as the babies are Ronny and Rudy. I never met my grandpa Lewis as he died from CJD in the 60s.. Our family has familial CJD mutation, which took my father, some of his cousins as well as my grandfather. The Wheelers are of German, Polish (Prussian) and English descent in addition to a few other things. Let me know if you want more info.

Friedrich Wilhelm Schoenoff was a plumber, married Louise Micheels, I have the date as Oct 19, 1893, and I'm thinking that you might have better luck in the town of Menomonie, Dunn County Wisconsin, rather than Menomonee County.

Fred's sister Maria was my great great grandmother.

Historic walk comes to close... 2010

ShawanoGenWeb — 2010-06-07 12:49:49Z

Shawano Leader - June 7, 2010

Historic walk comes to close

By Nathan Falk, Leader Reporter
WAYKA FALLS — A walk that truly told a sacred story came to a close Sunday on the Menominee Reservation.

“The Walk” as it has become known, was a ceremonial re-creation of the removal of the Menominee Nation, who were located in the Lake Poygan area, to the site of their present reservation. Led by Richie Plass, he said the 76-mile walk was done for several reasons — education and responsibility.

“We prayed along the way, did special offerings along the way, and learned along the way — it was good,” Plass said.

The walk is also known as “Ateqnohkew Pemohneaw,” which translates to a walk that tells a sacred story. The walking route ended at the area known as “Wayka Falls” early Sunday afternoon with a ceremony and feast.

The story of the process and walk is one that is very important to Menominee and Wisconsin history.

“Up until two and-a-half years ago, I never knew about the removal of the Menominee from Lake Poygan to the present site of our reservation,” he said.

Once Plass found out that one of the leaders of this historic walk had the same name he carries, Powekonnay, he felt it was his responsibility to acknowledge, honor and carry on this important part of Menominee history.

The name Powekonnay translates to “One who changes his feathers,” or as Plass’ research has shown, “Feather changer.” The original walk was let by one of the Menominee chiefs, Chief Waukechoen. But after a few days out, he was assassinated, and Chief Powekonnay took over.

“Now that we’re here, this part of the walk is done... but I really think, after talking to some people now, something else is going to happen,” Plass said. “We need to continue to learn our history.”

Charlotte Kinepoway, one of the walk participants, said she also was glad to see the event take place.

“I think it’s marvelous, I enjoyed it because Chief Kinepoway was one of the ones that walked all the way up here with his clan and settled in Kinepoway Settlement in West Branch,” she said. “At one point my husband and I were the last Kinepoways on the reservation, but we now have 40 members in our family. I really enjoyed the walk, and I learned a lot with all these men and women.”

There were around 30 people that participated at various points during the walk, including people who traveled great distances to be part of the event. They traveled an average of 14 miles a day Wednesday through Sunday, and camped overnight at predetermined locations.

“There was a lot of support, it was great,” Plass said. “The closing ceremony was, I think, a correct spiritual closing for what we did. A lot of good words were said, we’ll have a nice meal, and can rest.”

Catholic Church issues apology to Menominees for sins committed during Boarding School Era

By Ellen Hickok-Wall, Leader correspondent
KESHENA — Menominee Indian tribal members gathered Monday evening for a long-awaited confession of wrong-doing by the very church that continues to serve tribal members today.

Priests from St. Anthony Church in Neopit and St. Michael Church in Keshena apologized for pain and suffering tribal members endured during the Boarding School Era from 1856 to 1954.

“We stand here formally to present an apology to the Menominee for our past sin, which caused suffering and hurt through so many generations,” the Rev. Dave Kiefer of St. Anthony Church said to an auditorium filled with tribal members during the ceremony titled “Begin the Healing Journey.”

Kiefer and the Rev. Bob Rank of St. Michael Church took turns reciting a dozen pleas to their creator to heal the Menominee people from events that have caused injury to the tribe.

“The boarding schools took the young from home and family to new structures, language, and growth patterns,” Rank said. “Heal the wounds, Creator, from the traumas, different living patterns, any abuse, the lack of family intimacy, and the other hurts faced in those experiences. Heal the wounds caused by the zealous nature of the missionaries, priests and sisters in their efforts to pass on the Catholic faith.”

During the nearly century-long Boarding School Era, the U.S. government, aided by the Catholic Church, ran schools across the country with an agenda designed to strip Native American children of their culture and “civilize” them.

Thursday, 8 Dec. 1938

Mrs. Kate Montgomery Crandall passed away Friday, December 2, at the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. William Wood at Neopit, Wisconsin, after two weeks illness following a cerebral hemorrhage.

Mrs. Crandall was born at Farmington, Wisconsin, to Esther and Robert Montgomery, May 6, 1858, and was therefore 80 years, 6 months and 26 days of age.

On January 21, 1881, she was united in marriage to Nelson E. Crandall and made her home in Clark County for fifty years, the Crandall homestead being the farm just west of the Black River Bridge on highway 10, now a part of the Indian mission.

Two sons, Eugene, Granton and Bert of Portland, Oregon, and one daughter, (Hazel) Mrs. Will Wood of Neopit, were born to them. There are four grandchildren, Theodore and Douglas Crandall and Robert and Dorothy Wood. She is also survived by a brother, George, Portland, Oregon, and a sister, Mrs. Alma Paynter, Madison.

Mrs. Crandall was a splendid homemaker and a delightful friend and neighbor. She was active in church and lodge work, being a member of the Eastern Star and W. R. C.

When Mr. Crandall’s health failed and he was no longer able to operate the farm, they moved to Neillsville and established themselves in the restaurant business and for eleven years this was Neillsville’s most popular eating place, the food served being excellent at all times and the rooms were cleanly and attractive. Her charming manner and excellent managing ability made her a most gracious hostess.

Funeral rites were held at the Schiller Funeral home Monday afternoon, December 5, at 2 o’clock with Rev. G. W. Longenecker officiating. Interment was made in the Neillsville Cemetery.

Relatives and friends in attendance at the funeral were:

Mr. and Mrs. Wood and son, Robert, Neopit; Mrs. Eugene Crandall and sons, Douglas and Theodore, Granton; Mrs. Alma Paynter, Mrs. Esther Risley, Mrs. Katherine Johnson and Mr. and Mrs. Ben Paynter of Madison; Mr. and Mrs. Orin Hickcox, Hudson; Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Robson, Neopit, and Mrs. Mort Nichols, Oshkosh.
