Hi Annie
So many facinating people, photographs!!
Hey, I was having a wee read over this topic - been trying to see if I could spot anything more about Paul in Newspapers etc...
And it occurred to me...we are trying to find out about what happened to him after his death etc....but I wondered, what else do we know or want to know about him before joining Cody? And I wondered if you already knew who his wife and son were?
In summary (since I already got it
)
I think his son might have been Thomas or William, or Thomas William Eagle Star born 5 Oct 1889 Rosebud.
I think I see, Paul, wife Yellow Leaf and son William - in Jun 1891 Indian Schedule. Would this be right? How do those schedules work - is it possible for someone to be listed but not actually be there? Because I know Paul was in England must be very soon after that, since he died in August 1891.........
All Rosebud - Brule-Sioux :Thomas W Eagle Star b 1889/1890 appeared to live from 1892 until 1908 without his mother and mostly with an Uncle named John Kills Alive and then (John's brother(?) Thomas Kills Alive.
Twice though (1906 and 1907) I see this Thomas W Eagle Star listed with grandparents named Antelope and Ada. Not sure whose side they come in under, Thomas' father or mother? Ada was 14 yrs older than Antelope who was born abt 1848.
In 1908 TW is on his own. In 1909 he is married to Lucy. They appear to have one son b 1909 who dies bf 1915, when they have another son. In 1917 I think TW enlists in WW1 as William b 5 Oct 1889, and states a wife & 1 child, Rosebud Reservation. In 1918-ish he has a daughter. And the wife Lucy appears to have died around the same time.
In 1921. Thomas appears to take a wife, Laura Crooked Foot - who is half his age. No new children appear before 1924. Then between 1924 and 1932 they have 5 children. The youngest......is named Paul Eagle Star. It was this little lad whom I came across first in a general search on the name, so I just followed him and his father back. I won't mention the other children here, since some could be still living.
ANyway, my thought - if Thomas W is our Paul's son, and Thomas W had children - some of whom could still be living, can we see if we can track them down.... Maybe they know if Grandad Paul's remains came home and when/from where?
Cheers
