"Chief Wapello was a good friend of the early settlers, especially General Joseph M. Street, the first Indian Agent at Agency, Iowa, just east of Ottumwa in Wapello County. One of the leaders of the Sac and Fox tribes, Chief Wapello was not a tall, sinewy brave. In fact, he was short and stout and always promoting peace. His good friend, General Street, died in 1840 and the Chief died two years later. After the death of his friend, he let it be known that he wanted to be buried beside him." from www.isdar.org Elizabeth Ross Chapter
