From Today's Mobile Register News
Mobile ceremony honors Apache Indians
06/16/03


By DIANNE SMITH BRYARS
Correspondent


"Sunday morning, thanks to Silas Griffin, 13 men who couldn't go home had some of home brought to them. The Christian missionary and his family sprinkled small amounts of soil, sand, pebbles and river water gathered from the Apache Indians' ancestral homeland in Arizona on the graves the men, who were held at Fort Stoddert near Mount Vernon in the late 1800s.


The Apaches are buried in the National Cemetery portion of Magnolia Cemetery. All died between 1891 and 1894.


One of the 13 was Chappo, the eldest son of the Chiricahua Apache leader Geronimo who was buried on Sept. 11, 1894.


"My wife Abigail (a Yaqui Indian) and I also brought some small Arizona state flags, arrowheads, Indian corn, small clay pots and other things of symbolic significance to place on each Apache grave in a gesture of respect, honor and remembrance." said Griffin, 49, who has family roots in Clarke County, Ala. He lives in Douglas, Ariz.


The Griffins' children, Lesley, 6, and David, 4, helped their father place these items on the Apache gravesites.


Silas Griffin's father, the Rev. Jack Ray Griffin, a missionary to the Indians since 1950, opened the ceremony at Chappo's grave with a prayer and Bible reading. He finished his part in the ceremony by playing "The Old Rugged Cross" on his harmonica.


As a member of Confederate Secret Service Camp #1710, Sons of Confederate Veterans, in Arizona, Silas Griffin wore his Confederate chaplain uniform as a "positive message that our real Southern and Confederate history is one of old-fashioned Southern hospitality, history and heritage."


He placed a large Sons of Confederate Veterans, Arizona Division flag, which is half Arizona State flag and half Confederate Battle flag, at the head of Chappo's grave.


In 1887, after Geronimo ceased his fight against white settlers in the southwestern United States, he and some 450 members of his band were forcibly removed from Arizona by the U.S. Army. (our Cousin Capt. Charles B. Gatewood of Virginia convinced Geronimo to surrender-see his ID 44188 for details.)


They were first taken to St. Augustine, Fla., then to Pensacola and finally to Mount Vernon's Fort Stoddert, some 20 miles north of Mobile, where they would remain prisoners of war for over five years.


Carved on all the Apache tombstones except Chappo's is a mixture of their Indian and Christian names along with "12th Infantry." The unit was formed by the Army in an effort to incorporate the Indian prisoners into society, according to a historical file in the Mobile Public Library.


In 1888, authorities sent 114 young Apache men, including Chappo, to an Indian school in Pennsylvania for them to be transformed from "savages" into "Christian young men." Thirty of them died of illnesses they contracted there.


The Apaches remaining at Mount Vernon fared no better. By 1889, nearly one-fourth of those remaining had died, according to the file.


Chappo, who was 30, died of a "coughing sickness," probably tuberculosis, after returning to Fort Stoddert because of an injury suffered at the Pennsylvania school.


"We were not healthy in this place (Mount Vernon) for the climate disagreed with us. So many of our people died ..., " Chappo's father is quoted as saying in "Geronimo, His Own Story," a book edited by S.M. Barrett on the basis of information supplied by the Apache leader through an interpreter in 1905.


An article in the Mobile Press Register of Nov. 23, 1894 said that all the Indians had been moved from Mount Vernon, to be resettled at Fort Sill, Okla.


Geronimo died there in 1909 and is buried in the "prisoners" cemetery, said Silas Griffin."
