from a FAG member:
Mrs. Jim Yellowkanam (sic), wife of Indian Jim, died at her home here Friday night
after a few days' illness. She was about seventy-eight years of age. Besides her
husband she leaves three brothers and two sisters who live on the Indian
reservation. One brother, Henry, is chief of the Lummi Indians. She was an
Indian princess herself. Her first husband, Rev. John Tennant, died about ten
years ago. She was married to Indian Jim about two months ago. The funeral was
held from the M. E. church Sunday. The relatives from the reservation attended.
The remains were buried in the cemetery here beside her husband's grave. She
left nearly $2,000 in her trunk besides considerable property.
