Supplina Hamilton Yakima Indian War Record File Transcriptions

Glen · July 15, 2006

Joyce Hamilton inquired a number of years ago after Supplina Hamilton's Military Records (I believe with the State of Oregon). She was told the documents were too fragile to copy but the archivest hand transcribed them for her. These two pages are rich in information. One of the men who swore an affidavit as to Supplina's participation in the Yakima Indian War was George Miller. George kept a diary of this Company's time in the field. The affidavits may have been needed for Supplina to get a pension later in life and/or to receive the service medal that Supplina proudly wore on his chest in one of the later photos we have of him.

This is one of the documents shared publicly. The complete archive — photographs, recordings, the family tree and the forum — is open to family members and invited researchers. Apply for an account or sign in.
