 to the gospel ministry in the Presbyterian 

 Church in the spring of 1837. Married Mary

 Indians by the American Board and reached

 "Was stationed temporarily at Lake Harriet 

 Station, near Fort Snelling. Arrived at Lac- 

 qui-parle, on the Upper Minnesota River, in 

 the autumn of the same year. Here he re- 

 mained until the spring of 1842, when he went 

 east and superintended the printing of con- 

 siderable portions of the Bible in the Dakota 

 language and also a hymn book and school 

 books.

to Lac-qui-paile in the fall of 1846. In the fall 

 of 1851 he made another journey east, when 

 the Dakota grammar and dictionary was 

 printed. After the burning of the mission 

 buildings iu 1854 a new station was opened at 

 Hazelwood, near Yellow Medicine, where he 

 continued to labor until obliged to flee with 

 his family at the time of the Sioux outbreak in 

 1862. Escaping that massacre, his family 

 found a home for three years at Saint Anthony. 

 During this time he was serving the govern- 

 ment as chaplain of General Sibley's expedi- 

 tion of 1862 and as iLterpreter of his expedi- 

 tion against the hostiles in 1863. 



His home was removed to Beloit, "Wis., in 

 1865, where he spent his winters working on 

 the translation of the Bible into Dakota and 

 on other books, for the benefit of the Indians. 

 His summers were spent in tours through the 

 Indian country. 



In 1870 he began a new station at Sisaeton 

 Agency, but returned to reside at Beloit, and 

 died there August 24, 1883.
