Ne-bow-o-sah

Ne-bow-o-sah was a Potawatomi man

Biography:
Ne-bow-o-sah was of the Prairie Band Potawatomi located around Mayette, Kansas, born c. 1862 to unknown parents, he is shown in the Indian census reports as always being single. He was admitted to the Canton Asylum probably by the Potawatomi Agency on February 6, 1913, when he was 51 years old. There is no diagnosis of record for Ne-bow-o-sah.

According to Dr. L.L. Culp's letter dated February 17, 1934, to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, he died at the Canton Asylum on December 18, 1914, and was buried at the Canton Hiawatha Cemetery tier 1 plot 93.

His profile is part of the [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Canton_Asylum The Canton Asylum One Place Study.

Research Notes:
-The 1914 census shows Ne-bow-o-sah as 7 years old. Assuming that he was committed to the Canton Asylum on February 6, 1913, who would not have been shown in the census of Jun 30, this is a different person. The curiosity is that no one named Ne-bow-o-sah shows up in the 1915 census! So was the 1914 entry a typo?
-He always appears in census reports on a single line, he was probably unmarried his entire life.
