Benjamin E. Hall and his brother Robert Lincoln Hall and now it appears their brother William (Bill) as well as their parents left Jackson Co., IL., and perhaps left to visit their sister Elvira Zelgar and her family in Indian Territory, or maybe intended to go to Texas to visit cousins.
But, they did stay in Cherokee Nation Indian Territory., present day Nowata Co OK.
We have already heard stories of how a young Robert Hall sat with sick husband of Elizabeth Cox Brown Ferrel. Robert and Elizabeth were the first to wed, some time after the death of her second husband James Harvey Ferrel on October 4, 1883.
Benjamin married an Indian girl by the name of Liley or Lillie Ann Day. They were married abt 1886. To this union four children were born. After the death of his first wife, Benjamin married Della May Tanner, she was said to have been a school teacher. By the April 28, 1910 census, Benjamin and Della had moved with their daughter Ethelene to St. Clair county Missouri and never returned to Nowata. Benjamin's children by his first marriage remained in Nowata Co., OK. Now we are hearing that after the death of Lily, William (Bill) Hall came and took Laura Hall and her brothers to school in Tahlequah.
Another Hall Family of Nowata Co., OK., and this is their story.

This clears up a mystery for me. This guy is the one I thought was Newt Hall all those years. He used to drive a school bus & all the kids thought he was the greatest guy in the world. He told me he was kin to me & so did several other people including his wife, Myrtle. I knew her for several years after he died . Don't know if she's still alive but i doubt it. M.L

How the Delawares made Warriors out
of their Young Boys*
By
Mrs. Julia Hall
Nowata, Oklahoma
How well I can remember how my people would send all their young boys away out in the woods after they reached a certain age "we went by size in those days not by age.
The older men would teach the young boys how to shoot bows and arrows and how to build fires by using flint rock or by rubbing two sticks together, and how to cook their game on camp fires and we would have our Indian worships or our Stomp dances for the stomp dances were what we call our worshiping God, and we looked upon these dances as great things and I believe the people in those days took the Stomp dances more seriously than they take the churches in the present times.
At these Stomp dances the men would pick out all the boys who were large enough and get them together and give them all, a good talking to and tell them what they were to do and tell them that the older men were going
HALL JULIA. INTERVIEW. 7367 page 2
to send them away to make warriors out of them and they then would send the boys into the woods and sometimes they would be gone as long as six months at a time. When at any time any one of these boys had a dream he was to come in and tell the older people his dream and they in turn would tell the meaning of the dream; it was said that these boys saw the white man coming ten years before he came.
The older people in those days believed that after a boy reached a certain size he would not have these dreams and that the Great White Father would not give them visions; then they would "call then they would call in and then they were called Warriors and at any time one of these boys could not make his own way out in the woods and stay until he was called in he was called a poor warrior and was not cared for even by his own people.

John C. Fremont's First Trip
To California in 1853,
As told by
Mrs. Julia Hall and others
Nowata, Oklahoma.
It was in the year of 1853 that on day in
September a man by the name of John C. Fremont
started from West Port, Missouri, a place near Kansas
City, Missouri, to make a trip back to California for
the Government. In fact, he was trying to blaze out a
trail to California, and took along about three hundred
people. In the group he took ten Delaware Indians
as scouts and hunters. Here are the names of those he
took along, George Washington, Andy Miller, James Harrison, Wa-hoo-ney, John Moses, Jacob Eneas, GoodTraveller, Solomon Everett, John Smith and James Wolf.
The following is a true copy of the agreement that
Mr. Fremont drew up and which was signed by him and a
man by the name of Jim Secondine. Secondine was then
Chief of the Delawares at the time this trip was made.
HALL, JULIA* SECOND INTERVIEW 6737.
PAGE 2
The agreement is as follows end stated that Jim
Seconding was to furnish John C. Fremont with ten
Delaware hunters all good men:
Westport, Missouri, September 16,1853.
I have this day made arrangements through Jim
Secondine by which ten Delaware hunters (good men)
are to accompany me on my journey to California and
back to this country. The ten Delawares are to furnish
their own animals also, and are each to be paid
two dollars ($2.00) a day. They are to provide themselves
with good animals,, and if any of the animals
should die upon the road, I am to pay for the loss.
They will, of course, be furnished by me with ammunition
and saddles which are furnished to them by me,
all at my cost.
Signed "John C. Fremont"
The people who made the trip had some dreadful
times before they got back to this country. They were
snow-bound In from fifteen to thirty feet of snow, and
almost starved to death. They would be sitting around
the fire and would get so hungry that they would take
out their hunting knives and cut a piece out of the
HALL, JULIA* SECOND INTERVIEW. 6737
Page - 3 -
tops of their boots, and put it on & stick end hold
it over the fire and cook it a little and then eat
it. They even killed some of their horses and mules
and ate them. A lot of the animals starved or froze
to death before they got to their destination. In
fact, they got through the trip with just one white
mule which belonged to Wa-hoo-ney. This man, Wa-hoo-ney,
is father to Mrs. Julia Hall and he had no other
name then Wa-hoo-ney until, however, Fremont named
(also the name of Mrs. Hall's brother),
him George Washington because he was a good scout
and a brave man. |Mrs. Hall said she well remembered
her father telling of one times on the trip that he
ran a buffalo into camp and killed it right in
front of Mr. Fremont. Another they were all
snow bound and out of some thing to eat and Wa-hoo-ney
and three other men went out and were trying to kill
something to eat, when they found a large cave. In
this care they found three big black bears a, but all
they had taken along was their war clubs and hunting
knives. Each one of the man would take his turn In
going into the cave and killing a bear. After they
HALL, JULIA, SECOND INTERVIEW 6737
page 4 -
had killed all three of the bears, they all had
a food feast. Then they want back to camp and told
the rest of the people what they had killed. Most
of the men folks broke out in a run to reach the
cave and get the meat. They brought it into camp
and that night everybody had a good feed. Mr.
Fremont was a good man for they never ate a meal
without his returning thanks. When Mr. Fremont and
his crowd got to California most all of the people
were so hungry that the first thing that Mr. Fremont did
was to go to a hotel and order a bunch of chickens
killed. Be wanted a pot of soup made, and while
they were killing the chickens in the back yard of
the hotel some of the men folks would lay down and
drink the blood from off of the ground.
This is a
copy out of a paper at Fairland, of the death of
George Washington, or Wa-hoo-nay at his Residence near
Fairland, Indian Territory, at three o'clock
A. M. October 24, 1802:
"George Washington, Delaware Chief, and for years
a scout on the plains. Mr. Washington, was General
Fremont’s Chief Scout and guide when ha made his first
trip across the plains away back In the forty's. He

was one of the Lennehanapa of Cooper, in his leather
Stocking series of novals and has now gone over to join his
old commander on the other shore. He died of
old age, having been blind for years. Deceased
requested that his old unique tomahawk: and pipe combined, vessel skin tobacco pouch and knife be buried
with him and his “feet turned westward”.
