Israel McLish

He seems to have been living alone in the 1903 Choctaw Census.

January 5, 1894 -- News reached Savanna, I. T. that ISREAL MCLISH, a prominent Choctaw, was shot and probably fatally wounded near White Chimney Mountain a few night ago. McLish was on his way home when three unknown men held up the team and attempted to assassinate him, but on account of the horses running away, they were foiled in the attempt.
