TH WILLIE ANISE. CALVIN,. Shown here with her parents, lives her alloted three- score and ten years, the total length of time covered by two generations will be approxi- mately 150 years. "For Willie Anise is 315 years old while her father, John M. Calvin, 921 East Scott street, is 83. or will be, Jan- uary 24.
-
The child will live to see wonders unknown to us but her father, in his memories, can go back over the Civil war and still, see the van- dering herds of buffalo on the foothills of Wyoming. ---
Calvin is half Sioux Indian, that tribe of red men who were among the last to try to stem the white wave to the west. His story leads from the Rosebud reservation in Wyoming, where he was born, through. two schools, into the Civil war and climaxes in Custer's last fight. BEI NO. ONE ON PAGE A-14 ---

-
Calvin tells of his boyhood on the reservation, of the sojournat an Indian college where his name was changed from Big Moon to that of John M. Calvin, .all Indians being gijca .; white men's ames on their matry into school. He followed Grant down the Mississippi river during the Civil war, went back to the reserva- Hon. for a, few years and then east again to attend a school of medicine at'Cincinnati where he graduated in 1878.
:"He tells of the vacation in the summer of 1876 when he was back on the reservation and Joined the red men In their night against Custer and his men. Calvin gives the Indian side of the affair without prejudice. admitting that the Sioux, armed with bows' and spears, lost many more than the boys in blue in that battle.
His description of the fight is that It lasted 80 minutes. . He claims that the Indians tried to treat with Custer but were told that "he would fight first and treat afterwards." At a given signal hundreds of warriors, hidden in the sage brush, arose and the fight was on. The bluecosta fought bravely and Custer, sur- rounded by dead horses, was the last to fall. The Bloux tried to capture Custer but had to kill him, so des- perate was his defense. One soldier. more boy than man, he says, "u captured and later released.
Calvin denies any atrocities aere committed by the Bloux. The Bloux had many educated Indians on their aide, many of whom had tried to argue Sitting Bull out of any idea of bettie, but had failed and fought. The fight, he says, was to protect the Indians on the Stour reservation.
Calvin went back to school a few months later but was reticent enough i for years about being on the Indian side for fear of the government. Calvfh has lived in Springfield for 18 years. He has eight children, all living. One child. Mrs. Zelpha Eu- banks. 1227 Prisco avenue. is the only one in Springfield, besides Willie Anise. He has been married four times, the last venture being four and one-half years ago.
