Mr. Hewitt was born December IG, 1858, on 

 the Tuscarora Keservo, in the township of 

 Lcwiston, Niagara Co., N. T., and is of Tusca- 

 roran descent. He spoke nothing but English 

 until he was eleven years old, when, having 

 been taught to read and -write at home, he 

 ■went to tlie neighboring district school, where 

 ho picked up from the young Tuscaroras a fair 

 knowledge of that language. Ho was able to 

 attend .school only durina the winter months. 

 His father, David B. Hewitt, a practicing ec- 

 lectic physician, owned a library of medical, 

 historical, and scientific works, which fur- 

 nished the means of comparing the grammatic 

 elements of the Tuscarora and the classical 

 tongues. When sixteen years old, young Hew- 

 itt entered the academic departniout of the 

 "Wilson (X. T.) Union School, taking the class- 

 ical course, and attended this school two years. 

 Later he entered the academic department of 

 the Lockport (N. Y.) Union School, resuming 

 a classical course, preparatory to entering col- 

 lege; but over-study and a sunstroke the 

 previous year so affected his health that he was 

 not .able to finish the last term of the year. 



In the summer of 188i) Mrs. Errainnie A. 

 Smith engaged Mr. Hewitt to assist her in her 

 linguistic work on the various reservations of 

 the Iroquois, and ho was so eniraged, with the 

 exception of two periods aggregating about a 

 year and a half, until Mrs. Smith's death, in 

 June, 1886. In this work, being obliged to 

 collect vocabularies and make translations, ho 

 was made familiar with the v.arious languages 

 of the Iroquoian stock. On the 15th of the 

 July following Mrs. Smith's death, Major J. 

 W. Powell, the Director of the Bureau of Eth- 

 nology, engaged Mr. Hewitt to continue tlie 

 work. He immediately commenced the Tuska- 

 rora-Euglisli dictionary titled above, which is 

 well under way.
