Fredrick Deloss Merritt

GRANDPA LIVED WITH INDIANS
Back in the year 1880 my Grandfather Fredrick Deloss Merritt (Lotties Brother) would have been 16 years old. That would be close to the age he chose to leave home and go out to live with the Indians (he may have been younger), which his parents allowed him to do. It is unknown just how many years he lived with the Indians in Oklahoma but I know it was for a few. When my father was killed Dec. 1940 Ontario, California my older sister, brother and I were sent back to Oklahoma to live with our grandparents. I was to young to remember much of what I saw while playing in the basement, but my sister tells me it was filled with Indian Artifacts from the days Grandpa lived with the Indians. Sis said there was fancy Indian Ceremonial clothes, Moccasions, Weapons and Back Packs. I want to highlight "Back Packs" here because she said there were several that were for carrying a baby and was pretty fancy. The reason I want to bring that out is because of my Aunt Jo, Grandpas oldest Daughter. I understand she use to recieve a Government Check for some reason and none of the other kids got one. That always raised question as to why with her brothers and sister (my Mom). I feel that Grandpa was still closely connected to the Indians even after he went back to live in the White Mans world. After Grandpa died all of his Indian belongs disappeared. My Sister was born on the Pawnee Indian Reservation in Oklahoma about 1930 in a house where Grandpa once lived.
