YELOKANIM, Chief Jim (d. 1911)
Old Jim is dead! Probably the last head man of the vanishing remnant of the peace loving Nooksacks, has gone to the home of his ancestors. The oldest resident of Whatcom county, whose years covered nearly a half century when Peabody first saw the shores of Bellingham Bay. A middle aged man when general Winfield Scott visited Semiahmoo; when captain George Pickett, after the the hero of that famous charge on the "bloody angle" at Gettysburg shook the starry flag in the face of the British on San Juan island, he yet outlived all of the pioneers who came to this vicinity in their young manhood and womanhood except his lifelong friend Mrs. P. N. Judson of Lynden. In all his five score years he had no real enemy. Friends of the white, Mentor of the redmen; all honored and respected Jim Yelokanim. The writer knew him twenty-seven years, was glad for his friendship, and always found him a man. Gentle, kind and courteous beyond what is expected of one without culture, was Old Jim. He was a man of far more than ordinary sagacity and with education would have taken a front rank among the citizens of the county. Jim was of a deeply religious nature and early in life came to believe in the God of the white man and to oppose the pagan practices of some of his people. Some wise white man in his middle age told him of the evils to his race of whiskey and he became its bitter enemy, making many talks against its use to his own people and took fully as much interest in the campaign against it in Lynden and Bellingham as many another who boast of better information. No one knows just how old he was but the writer is of the opinion after many talks with him that he was nearing his hundredth year. He died quietly after a long illness at the home of his granddaughter, Mrs. Emily Williams, Tuesday April 25th, 1911, near Lynden. His funeral will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
