"ALFRED MUDEATER, ONE OF FOUNDERS OF WYNANDOTTE, FOUND DEAD IN BED
80-Year-Old Indian Was Member of Wyandotte Band During Removal From Kansas to Oklahoma
Alfred Mudeater, 80-year-old Wyandotte Indian and virtually a life-time resident of Ottawa county, was found dead in his bed at his home in Wyandotte at 8: o'clock this morning. Mudeater had been in apparent good health, except for slight chills, of which he had been complaining for the last several days.
Two Wyandotte ministers, who went to his house to call on the pioneer Indian, discovered him dead in bed.
Mr. Mudeater had been in what is now Ottawa county since his tribe was removed from their reservation at Wyandotte, Kas., to which they were originally sent from Ohio by the government. Although Wyandotte, Okla., was not a town at that time - but an Indian reservation - there were about 250 Indians in the settlement. Friends of Mudeater said that he was one of the founders of the present town of Wyandotte. He first went into business with a store about six miles northwest of Wyandotte on the Neosho, at what is now known as Mudeater's dam. He then moved his store to what is now Wyandotte where he accumulated considerable real estate and later became mayor and postmaster.
In addition to the store, which he owned at the time of his death and operated until about 10 years ago, he conducted a hotel which became popular in this part of the state because of the home-cooked meals served there. Fellow-townsmen said that many times there would be people from a dozen nearby towns at the Sunday dinners.
Mudeater was known over the state by both the people of his own tribe and whites. Not typically Indian, he showed no backwardness about talking or acting, and was an ardent believer in the rights of self-expression.
The Wyandotte Indian, who was one-fourth Indian and one-fourth French, was an efficient business man, according to friends. When first developing the country now including and surrounding Wyandotte, he was connected with a Captain Higgie, who it was said was a retired sea captain, and a banker of Girard, Kas.
Mudeater, it was reported had no relatives in the state. He had no children, but he has a brother who is in Canada. His wife preceded him in death. His father, a white man, was adopted by the Wyandottes, the tribe of his mother, who was one-half French and one-half Indian.
Funeral arrangements have not been made, awaiting word from his bother in Canada. The Mitchell Undertaking company of Seneca will be in charge."
