Morley Beaver = Chief Walking Eagle born 1885.
His wife Sophie born 1906.
His father Isaac Beaver was 113 years of age at his death. He was known as Nan-du-o-da = Long Hair.
His grandfather O-sau-is-tek-wan was born 1803, died 1913. And was one of 17 Indians chosen to attend Queen Victoria's Coronation. Morley Beaver's grandmother was "Big Woman" - Wa-ka-ja-ton-ga in Stoney. she was called Mista-has-esqu by the Crees. She was 112 years. During the year 1902 Morley Beaver chiselled his name on a slab of rock near a fissure of gas south of the Blackstone river. During recent years it was found by an employee of the Home Oil Co. when they were drilling for (natural) gas.
(The above information on the Beaver family was given to me early in 1958 by Morley Beaver and his wife Sophie.)

Silas Abraham, now more than 80 years of age is now the oldest man of the Wesley Band. Many years ago his home was west of Windy Point. I have had the pleasure of knowing him for 50 years. He is the father of Norman Abraham who has a trapline north of Mire Creek and Saunders. Silas Abraham is a descendent of one of the first Stoney Indians to settle on the Kootenay Plains. My good friend Killian Wildman, made his home at the Cline River.
Mrs. Philip Howes (House) 85 years of age or more, I believe is now the oldest Stoney Indian lady of the Wesley Band.
Philip Howes was Medicine man for the Wesley Band. He was a cripple most of his life which he lived in a tepee, although a good house was built for him to live in, he always lived in his tepee.
I sincerely congratulate Mr. Bob Steele and members of his Civil Service staff and Forestry Staff. Robert Reed and all those who have organized this rodeo, which goes to show that Nordegg has not been dead for the last 3 years, only sleeping. Today she awakens like a rose bush in full bloom.
