Freeland B. McIntosh, a well known Creek Indian and native of McIntosh county, who has been rapidly declining during the past year, crossed the great divide last Thursday surrounded by his wife and children in his last moments. It had been known for several days that he was approaching the end and the announcement of his death created no surprise.
Freeland Buckner McIntosh was a native of McIntosh county, having been born here January 15, 1852, and had practically lived here all his life. He was a son of Col. D.N. McIntosh and Mrs. Jane McIntosh nee Ward, and was three times married during his life. To the first union one child, a daughter was born, now Mrs. Lucille Houston, wife of George Houston of Eufaula. The fruit of the second marriage was also a daughter, now Mrs. Eulala McGee, wife of John W. McGee of Tulsa. The third wife, who survives, was Miss Katie Welch, and to this union was born and now living the following children, all minors and at home: Rufus C., Willie, Edith and Rutherford McGee.
During his life Mr. McIntosh stood high in the Creek Nation, having served as a member of the house of Warriors and practiced law before the Creek courts during tribal existence. With the exception of three years spent in the war he had spent his entire life within easy distance of Checotah, and in that time proved himself an honest, faithful friend and a law-abiding and patriotic citizen. The family has the sympathy of all in the loss of husband and father.
The funeral was held from the late home Saturday and the remains were taken to Fame for burial in the graveyard there.
