Joseph LaBathe— Settlers' Island
From time of first contact with the Europeans and then Americans, a blending of cultures and lives began.
The life of Joseph LaBathe(1825-1914), one of Grey Cloud Island's settlers, reflected not only his Dakota
and French-Canadian ancestry but also his family's direct ties to these islands.
LaBathe was born in 1825 at Mendota, Minnesota. He was the son of Francois LaBathe and
Tranamimirsavaii (or Tranamimirsawin), known as Nana Cousi. Joseph LaBathe was a grandson of
Wabasha II and great-nephew and cousin to Grey Cloud Woman I and II.
LaBathe's parents separated in 1829; both remarried that same year. Joseph was raised by his mother and
stepfather, Joseph Monj eau. The family lived at Wabasha's village, at Point Douglas, and they all worked
for Philander Prescott at his trading post and ferry at Prescott, Wisconsin. In July of 1839, Mathias Loras,
Bishop of Dubuque, stopped at Prescott to baptize Joseph and the Monj eau children.
As a young man, LaBathe worked in the fur trade for Joseph Rollette in Prairie du Chien. After his family
purchased land in 1852, south of Hastings, using their Lake Pepin Script, Joseph farmed to support his
ever growing family.
Like many of his relatives after the 1862 U.S. - Dakota War, LaBathe served as a military scout for Col.
Pfaender protecting settlers in western and southern Minnesota.
Joseph LaBathe married Genevieve(Ellen Sarah Turpin)in 1856. They were parents to six children. After
her death in 1878, he married for a second time to Mary McLaine in 1879. Two children were born to this
union.
In an 1894 St. Paul Pioneer Press biography, LaBathe was described as "... as another of the mixed-blood
farmers on Grey Cloud. He owns a good little farm whereon stands a neat, comfortable house, and he is a
genial, hospitable gentleman, and a good citizen."
Joseph LaBathe was like the thousands who helped settle Minnesota, who came and stayed on their
precious land, contributing through diligence and hard work.
Many of LaBathe's direct and extended family live in Cottage Grove, in St. Paul Park, Woodbury, St.
Paul, and Minneapolis and are honored that their ancestor is recognized through the naming of this island.
Jacob V. Brower, founder of Itasca State Park, interviewed and photographed Joseph LaBathe in 1890.
Brower traveled to meet and visit with LaBathe, to learn about the life Joseph had experienced -living in
Wabasha II's village along the Mississippi at Winona, learning about hunting, trapping, and the fur trade,
working for Philander Prescott,his farm, his family, and especially about the world of change that LaBathe
had seen in his lifetime.

de Courturier, and Mahkpiahotowin/"Grey Cloud Woman."All were early inhabitants of Grey Cloud
Island and the surrounding area of what is now known as Cottage Grove. Information on all the
referenced people is attached.

After the conclusion of the discussion, the ACHP approved a motion to recommend that the island
be named "Joseph Le Bathe's Settlers Island," and that a sign be created and placed on the island
to assist in the telling of the stories of these individuals and their relevance to the early settlement of
Cottage Grove and the surrounding area.

the daughter o-F �ames Aird, an Indian trader. The wife, first ; �
bearing this na►ne, was a sister of the Sioux Chief Wabasha I, �
who took part in the war between the United States, and Eng- ;
land in 1812, and her father's'name also was Wabasha. She " ' � ' i
was born at her father's v311age, where the city of Winana now � ; ;
stands, and died in 1844 at B1ack Dog's village, someti.mes

Captain Anderson after they had been married about eight ;
years, and later married Hazen Mooers, who was the �irst agent � '

ily rernoved in 1838 from Little Roci< to what is now called �
Grey Cloud island. They were accompanied by-Andrew Rob- �

�
The band af which Medi.cine Bottle was chief had its origin �
through the dissatisfaction of some members of the band of �
Big Thunder and of Little Crow, father of the chief of that ��
name who led the Sioux massacre in 1862. Previous to the
treaty of 1837, their v3.].l.age was on the east banl<"ofi the Mis-
sissippi river about two miles below the present city of St.
,
Paul. Af-�er this treaty, by which the Sioux ceded their lands ! !
�
easfi of the Mississippi, they removed the village to the west � �
banlc of the river, where it was I<nown to the early settlers as � �
Kaposia, on the site of South Park, near fihe South Sfi. Paul
stock yards. A few families o-F that band left the ol.d village
on the east side and chose as their leader a noted counselor. and � I
. medicine man named Waul<an-ojan-jan, meaning Spir9.t Light � �
or Holy Lfght, as translated into English by his daughter, but
called Medicine Bottle by the early fur traders and pioneers. �
I
�
They went down �Ehe river about eight miles and built some
large bark and willow lodges on the northwest end of Grey (
CZoud island, where they lived and had their fields and gardens � li
until the autumn of 1837. Two of their vacated lodges were �
occupied the next year, as before noted, by Mooers and Rob-
ertson with their families, and the third one was used by them �
as a storehouse. In May, 1839, these men built two log houses, . j
with stone chimneys, near the river, and they farmed a part . �
of the gardens and cornfie7.ds formerly cultivated by the Tn- �
dians. That year they raised potatoes, corn, and garden truck, �
some of which they sold at Fort Snell.ing for the use of the
officers and troops ; and in 1840 they raised some grain on these II i
fields and sold a part of it at the -Fort. These notes of early
farming on Grey Cloud island were told to me by Mrs. Mary I! i
Brown, a daughter of Hazen Mooers, wi�Fe of �ohn W. Brown,
who was a half brother o-F the distinguished �oseph R. Brown.
Their marriage was on this island, on New Year's day an �.846.
In the fall of 1837 or the spring of 1838, Medicine Bottle • i
�
and his band moved across the Missi.ssippi to the west bank a
� �short distance farther south, at the place called by the early
French and Canadian voyageurs Pin de 7our, now I<nown as '

village o-F barl< and willow ho/uses or lodges was built at this
place, and sometimes beside the permanent lodges there were
many tepees of poles and sl<ins during the spring and fall hunt-
ing seasons. .
The situation of this village was a fine one for the Indians.
The marshes and heavy timber on the bottomlands around
;
Spring lal<e and Belanger island, east of them, in what is now
Nininger townshi.p, were full of sma7.1 game, such as geese, �
ducl<s, muskrats and mink; and on the high land were found
the pra3.rie cha.cken, foxes, partridges and quail, and pigeons
by the thousands that sometimes nested and roosted i.n the
heavy timber on Belanger island. The timber consisted of �
soft maple, cottonwood, elm, hacl<berry, and ash, most of which
,was still standing in 1856 when Z came to Nininger. The wild �
pigeons .had their roosts and nesfis on thi.s island in 1859. The �
last that I saw of their great flocks, which were sometimes one I
to two miles 7.ong, transverse to their course of flight, but
usually not more than fifty feet wide, was in the spring and ; �
summer of 1871. F1ock after f7.od< followed each ofiher, at ` '
short intervals, sometimes for several days.
Spring lake, southeast of this village a shorfi distance, was
alive with large fish, among which were catfish, buffalo, pil<e-, �
and pickerel, also sunfish and other small kinds. Tn the win- .�
ter of 1856-57 our people went up to the primitive sawmill near �
the junction of Spring latce and Belanger sloughs, shut down
i
the gates to the flume, and threw out so many of these large �
fish as to fill half a wagon box. • �
i
�
The Iand�on which thi.s Sioux village stood, �ogether with i
their gardens and cornfields, was afterward pre-empted by i
"William A. Bissell, the fa.rst white settler at Pine Bend, in the
present Inver 6rove township, Dalcota coun�y. The village
was near the river under the bluffs, on government Zot 10,
section 35; and the gardens and cornfields were on the hi11,
on the south half of the southeast quarter and on the southeast '
quarter of the southwest quarter of section 34, Inver Grove. �
GREY CLOUD ISLAND AND ITS VTCINITY. 375 I
�
Bissell first visited Medicine Bottle's village a.n 1849 or
1850; and in 1851 Medicine eottle allowed hi.m to put up a
small log shack under and near the bluff, perhaps a quarter or
�
haJ.f a mi.7.e north or northwest of their village. He moved has ;
i �
family down from Red Rock with a span of horses and s1ed, I
on the ice late 3n the fiall of 1851, and occupied this shacl<. I

The -Family had been living with some of the early settlers and ' '
missionaries at Red Rocl<, among whom were John A. Ford, �
�
Mr. Irish, Mr. Holton, and others. In 1852 B9.ssell built a
hewed log house, covering it with shingles split mostly from � � �
oak logs ; and �he same year he raised some potatoes, corn, and � '
garden stuff. He pafd for this land August 6, 1855, and his ��
receipt was signed by the government receiver, R. P. Russell, �
of Minneapolis. .
The old Tndian trail from Wabasha's village, on the site- of .
Winona, to Little Crow's village, at Kaposia, or a branch of �
�
fihis fi rai1, ran into Medi,cine Bottle's village and out again
through what was afterward Icnown as Bissell's coulie. Also _
a branch from this trail went fio Fort Sne111ng. Captain 7ohn
i i
Tapper, the first ferryman at Minneapol3s, who died in 1909, j i
fiold me that he came over this trail in fihe �a11 of 1844 from �
Lal<e Pepin to Mendota. He said that it was nearly dari< when ;
he and his companions arrived at Medicine Bottle'�s village, �
� ;
and they stayed there al1 night. The chief entertained them �
as we11 as circumstances would permit, and the next morning �
they fol.lowed the trail to Mendota and were ferried across the �
�
Minnesota river to Fort Snelling. '
Tn 1853 William Strathern of Rich Valley, Dalcota county, '
and "Wi].liam Senescall, toak claims within a mile or two of . ',
Bissell. These two men in the spring of that year ploughed a �
part of the Indian cornfield for Bissell, and he put it into � �
wheat, This wheat was cut with a cradle and threshed wi�h � �
a flail by Walter Strathern, a brother of William, later �.n the �
fall or d�inter. Walter is now living on his original pre-emp- j
tion claim talcen in 1853 at Rich Valley. A part of this wheat �
was hauled by William Strathern around by the way of St. I
Paul and Cottage Grove to the grist mi1J. of Lemuel Bo11es in �
A�Fton, where it was made into flour. William Senescall was ' �

carried on their lamentations after the Indian fashion of ex- I
pressing sorrow at the loss of friends or relatives. They felt � I
very badl.y on account of having to leave the Bissells and their 4 �
old home and hunting grounds. Mr. Bissell died at Saul< Cen- � (
ter in December, 1871, and was buried there.
The third and ].ast village of Medicine Bottle and his band
in Minnesota was one tnile west of the government buildings '
at the Redwood or Lower Sioux Agency. He was accidentally - �
I<illed near his lodge or house in this village before the out- �
breal< of 1862. Outside of his house he had a scaffold erected
�for drying corn, and hanging from the rafters was an iron �
chain with a sharp hool< on the lower end. Some of his family
were cl.eaning or cutting up a wild du dc, and he was �Feeding �
h3s chici<ens, when one of them ran off with a piece of the duck. � �
The chief ran to catch it but stumb7.ed, and in fal7.ing �he sharp �
hook caught him in the mouth, penetrating his brain.. He ex- `
pired in a few minutes from hemorrhage. He was attended by �
Dr. Asa "W. Daniels, the government physician at the Redwood !
Agency, now living in Pomona, California, who has supplied I
this account of .his death. Dr. Daniels further writes : �
I
i
We loolced upon Medi.cine Bottle as a civilized Indian. He lived
in a frame house, cul�ivated a plot of ground, did n�t believe in con- ;
juration nor practice it, �but possessed considerable I<nowledge in bleed- ..� ?
3.ng, cuppa.ng, and the hot steam bath, and Icept medicinal barks, roots,
_ �
and herbs, which he used..in cases of sici<ness. He was an Indian of . � ;
much ability, honest, truthful, and bore the duties of life faithfu.11y, '
and,always gave good advice and worthy example to the o�hers of his �
i
people. ' �

Iron, took part in the massacre, for which he and the young
chief Shai<opee, called Lifi�tle Six, having been captured in 1864,
were tried by a military commission at Fort Snelling and were ;
hung there November 11, 1865.
7he si�e of the city of Hastings was earlier cal.led Oliver's
Grove, after Lieut. William G. Oliver, who was ascending the
Mississippi wifih one or more keel boats late in �the autumn of (

in the bend of the river opposite to this city. The boat or boats �

were probably run up to the outlet of Lal<e Rebecca, to be out
of the way of the ice when the river brol<e up in the spring of I
1820. Lieutenant 0liver was on his way from Fort Crawford
� at Prairie du Chien with supplies for the soldiers at St. Peter's ;
camp, now Fort Snelling, among whom was the first settler of � '
Hastings, 7oe Brown, the drummer boy, then about fourteen !
years of age.
Oliver passed �hhe winter here witti some soldiers guarding i ,
these supplies. I imagine that he put up a log c'amp on the I '
bottomland near where his boats were tied, as 3.t was covered
with very large elm and maple firees, which with the smaller
growth of willows and maples along the riverside would pro- ; �
tect the camp from the northwest wind and also furnish plenty I �
of fuel. � �
When I first saw the bottomlands on the Zang island ad- I ,
�
�oining Lalce Rebecca, between Nininger and Has�ings, they j
k
were covered with heavy timber, soft maple, white and b7.ack
ash, elm, cottonwood, and hacl<berry; and on the lower end of
the island, next to the river for half a mile, was a dense grove � i
of willows and small maples so close together in some places i
thafi one could not get through them. I was quite'famil.iar with �
these woods and also Oliver's Grove when T was young, be- . E
cause my father's stocl< at Nininger was pastured on these ! ;
bottoms and I had to drive the cows home at night during the , j
summer months, sometimes finding them as far down the river C
as Oliver's Grove.
i
After leaving the army, 7oseph R. Brown commenced to �
I
trade with the Tndians about the year 1826. He had a trad- � I
ing post in 1832 at St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, which he left

in a boat or canoe on one of the last days of 7uly in that year, �
coming down the S�t. Croix to its mouth and thence up the

house on what was afterward platted as Lot 1, B1ock 12, of the
original townsite of Hastings, at fhe soufihwest corner of
Second and Vermillion streets. Th3s house stood in a beauti-
ful grove of white and bur oaks. An extensive belt of oak '

THE MICROFILM '
;
Intx•oductory "flash" targets, sometimes followed by lists, identify the various uni�s of the
callection on the microfilm. Folder titles have been �tmed as targets fox the correspondence j �
and financial records series. A x�uaning title beneath each film frarne gives
the title and publisher of tl�e xnicrofilm and the frame�number. Targets may identify i
i
enclosures, sevexely defective pages, incomplete items, and materials filrz�ed at reduction ratios �
other than the standat�d 14-to-1. !
While the majority of the Bxown papers are generally legible a�ad in good physical j
condition, many are not. Soine xnaterials are worn and dirty, and text may be incomplefe due � i
ta tears. Some items may be dif�icult to read due to faint, faded, smeared, or smudged pencil
i i
and inlc ox stains caused by pressure-sei�sztive tape; or because typed ariginals or carbon copies (
are faint or "fuzzy". The passage of time has, in some cases, caused ink to bleed through the i
paper and the colar of paper to darlcen. Some o:f Samuel Brown's handwritten notes and � �
drafts, copies of letters, and otlier items are written in pencil on poor quality, discolored, or � �
tan-coloxed paper, r�sultulg in poor contrast between the colors of the te�ct and tlie paper, �
� i
; �
wfuch malces them espeeially diff"icult to reproduce. Finally, as a result of eoi�respondents' �
, i
efforts to conserve paper, some letters exhibit cross-writing (handwriting across tbe initial te� ;
on a page at right angles to it) and extreznaly small handuniting in the margins. ;
i
Two techniques have been used in an effort to inerease the legibility of certain items on '
the:micro�'i1m. Sometimes a page is£'ilmed more than once at different camera settings, with
a target identifying the intentional duplicate exposure. In a few instances, photocopies have , �
been filmed in place of faded, discolored, or otherwise defective documents when the
phatocopies produced superior film images.
Sannuel Brown's notes and drafts present ather problems in addition to those associated
with being diff'icult to read; soma items not idenfified on the microfilm as such may be �
incomplete; the pages of some items may not be in correct order, because it was not always j
possihle to detertnine Ylieir p��oper sequence; and the pages of some items faund--and filmed--
togethar may not belong together.

Island Acquisitian
The ACHP motion recommended that the island be named "Joseph La Bathe's Settlers Island,"
and that a sign be created and placed on the island to assist in the telling of the stories of historic
individuals and their relevance to the early settlement of Cottage Grove and the surrounding area.

Joseph La Bathe—1962—age 78
This recommendation was shared with the Parks Commission at their meeting on December 14,
2015. An excerpt from their minutes is included below.
A. Grey Cloud Island Naming Request— Proposal submitted by the Historic Preservation Group for
the island that was transferred from the State of MN to Cottage Grove. There were a couple options
and the recommendation from the Historic Preservation group was Joseph La Bathe's Settlers
Island. Commissioner Heurung made a motion to add Spirit Wood Island to the list of names and
to bring it to the Historic Preservation Commission for their research and recommendation,
seconded by Commissioner Bonneson, all were in favor.
Discussion
Spirit Wood Island or Chan Wakon is the historic name for Lower Grey Cloud Island. While the
location of the City's newly acquired Open Space is in close proximity to Lower Grey Cloud Island,
it is not the main island and it would seem inappropriate to brand the island with a name that already
represents another geographic location. Given the ACHP goals to share information on the people
and places in Cottage Grove, it seems appropriate to name the island in a fashion that recognizes
many of the early inhabitants of the city and region.
Recommendation
That the ACHP discuss the naming of the island and make a recommendation to the City Council
that will be shared with the Parks Commission.
