OBITUARY
Chief was his given name and he had served as elected chief of the Wenatchee Indian tribe since 1932. Chief Kiutus Tecumseh, of White Swan, who would have been 70 years old Jan. 7, died Monday at the Walla Walla VA Hospital. Tecumseh was born in Vigo County, Indiana, of a Wenatchee mother and a father, John Tecumseh, who was Cherokee and Shawnee. After becoming tribal chief, he was twice invited to the White House. Once by Mrs. Herbert Hoover, and by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. Under the name of Henry Willis Roberts, Tecumseh enlisted in the U.S. Navy at Seattle May 3, 1918, and was discharged there in 1922. He was first admitted for a service connected heart disability to the Bremerton Naval Hospital in 1953 and first came to the local VA Hospital for treatment in 1956. He was admitted the last time on Dec. 6. A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the chief is survived by his widow, Marie, at White Swan, four daughters and two sons.
