Excerpt from The Journal of Education for Upper Canada, Vol. 17: Edited Under the Direction of the Reverend Egerton Ryerson; For the Year 1864 Died suddenly at his residence on the Indian Reserve of Tuscaro ra, on Sunday morning, the 8th of November, Joseph Sawyer, Chief of the Mississaquas lndians of the New Credit, in the 84th year of his age. This venerable Chieftain was well known throughout the Province, particularly in the neighborhood of Toronto, where he and his Band resided previous to their removal in 1847 to the land of the Six Nations Indians, which they now occupy. Chief Sawyer led an active and useful life, and did much for the civilization and prosperity of his Band. He was ever a faithful and zealous ally of the British Crown, having been at the taking of Detroit, as one of the small but valiant Band, who accompanied the gallant Brock on that distant, hazardous, but successful exploit, he also fought at the battles of Queenston and Lundy's Lane, and was resent when the Americans attacked Toronto, then called Little ork. He tsadi ly turned out to suppress the insurrection in 1837. For many years past he was a devoted Christian guiding his people with much care and wisdom, by whom he was respected and beloved. On his re signing the duties of Chief the Band allowed him a pension of $200 a year. He is succeeded by his son David. - Brantford Courier.
