Paul Eagle Star and Buffalo Bill Cody

[Ohio Susan]

Very interesting reading.

Philip - if you are interested B B Cody's Uncle Philip and Aunt Lyida are buried here:

I may be able to get a picture - I think I saw the tombstone when I was there.

Annie & Susan - GCC's father was German, the origin of Spain is wrong. As I have discovered in my searches not 'all' the census data is correct, especially family name spelling. I had previously discovered those photos of Lillian Francis Smith, please keep looking! And thanks for the information on B.B. but he's "beyond the pail" for me unless you find him in photos with either GCC or Jim Kid'. Attached is another photo taken at the same time as the ones posted recently by Annie. In this photo standing in the back row GCC is 4th from left, Chief Two Strike is 5th and next to him is B.B. and Short Bull is on the far right (circa January 1891).

In the second photo GCC is on the far right side, his hat is tilted back. B.B. is standing on the far left with his hand on the pole, next to him is General Miles (circa 1891)

Annie - I don't know if any pension was collected by 'Julia', if she got lucky it wouldn't have been significant. My paternal Great Grand Father applied for a Civil War Pension, those pension schedules averaged about $ 2.00 a month! I once located a web-site that listed the pension amounts but can't find it now. You need to contact me privately about the Short Bull account.

Philip

Here's Lillian ....... Princess Wenona ........... working with the 101 Ranch !!

http://www.kaycounty.info/101_Ranch/wenona.html

And look here ........

Lillian Francis Smith who performed as Princess Wenona while with the 101 Ranch Wild West Show from 1911 to 1916. She returned to the ranch late in life but died destitute near it in 1930. Her accomplishments during her performing career equaled or surpassed that of Annie Oakley but unlike Oakley international recognition escaped her. Her grave was unmarked until the 101 Ranch OTA and its supporters intervened in 1999

Hi Annie - Yes I did find those records, there are some earlier ones from when he was traveling with B.B.W.W.S.. Of Course by this time B.B.W.W.S. was history, he was now using his other language skills. Yes he did travel to South Africa to see his son Cuno Parker Crager. Cuno was a Lutheran (I believe) missionary. He also traveled to Chile where he work for almost two years before his death in 1920. His youngest daughter Winnifred died (1 of more than 1,000) in the great fire and sinking disaster of the S.S. Slocum on New York's East River in 1904.
