Wattie Palmer is a grand uophew of Captain 

 "Echo Ilaijo," a French and Creek half-breed, 

 who fought for tho Uuilcd States against tho 

 Seiuiuoles under Jackson, and was a noted man 

 in the war. IIo is also a grandson of Homer 

 Kernels, who fought in the war of 1812, and 

 who is now (1889) about ono huudrort years 

 old, with mind so active still that ho is a very 

 entertaining narrator of the past events of his 

 life. Micco Ilntkee, Mr. Palmer's uncle, was 

 lirst a town chief, and later second chief of tho 

 Creeks. 



Mr. Palmor was brought up by an ludiau 

 womao, having been early left an orphan. Ho 

 .was old enough when ho applied for admission 

 to tho TuUahassee school to need to bo made 

 au e.xeeptitm to the rules, but his perseverance 

 aud earnoijtness won tho coveted opportunity. 

 In tho fall of 1880 he was sent, among others, 

 at tho exiiousoof his tribe, to a school in Hen- 

 derson, Teun. Ue was for some years a helji- 

 fill member of tho council, and is now "natioual 

 auditor" for his tribe.

Itev. Jas. Perryman, for the last thirty years 

 of his life au honored minister of tho IJaj)- 

 tist Church, was ono of six brothers, aud wa'i 

 probably born withiu tho last decade of the 

 eighteenth century iu tho " Old Crook Nation " 

 in Alabama. Ho went west among the earlier 

 emigrant Creeks, and attended school at tho 

 Union Missiou.then among the Osagos, but at 

 which were gathered both Crocks and Clieio- 

 kees. Between 1830 and 1835 he was interjiretcr 

 for Kev.John Fleming, of tho A.B.C. F.M., 

 among the Creeks, w.as a member of the Pres- 

 byterian Church, and aided him in translating 

 two of the first books ever printed for the 

 Creeks. After the expulsion of the mission- 

 aries by the U. S. Indian agent, he prepared a 

 Muskokoo primer, founded on his work with 

 Mr. Fleming, but using only English charac- 

 ters, aud simplifying tho work of learning to 

 read the Muskokee. Diiriug the later years 

 of his life he assisted mo in translating Ephe- 

 sians, Titus, and James, and in two-thirds of 

 Acts. In the Crock hymn-book thirty-two 

 hymns are his work, either in composition or 

 translating. Ho died about tho year 1882, hav- 

 ing continued preaching vei'y nearly to tho end 

 of bis life, notwithstanding focblo health. —
