Moses Kenote

Moses was an Indian man of the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin, Green Bay Agency

The Green Bay Agency was established in 1815 to serve the tribes in the Green Bay area. The agency was abolished in 1836, but a subagency was established at Green Bay in 1837. The Green Bay Subagency was restored to full agency status in 1855 and located on Wolf River on the Menominee Reservation. and was sometimes called the Menominee Agency.

The Keshena Indian boarding school, also known as Saint Joseph's Indian Industrial School, was located on the Menominee Indian reservation in Keshena, Wisconsin. It operated from 1883 to 1952.

Bibliography:
Moses (Moes) Kenote was born on September 23, 1880, to father Jim Kenote and mother Mary Kenote (Tomaw). He was one of probably five (5) siblings.

According to the book Vanished in Hiawatha, Moses was committed with a diagnosis of hysteric angina pectoris (hysterical angina, also known as pseudo angina, is a term used to describe angina pectoris that may be caused by emotional distress. Angina pectoris is a condition that occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart narrow or become blocked.) And according to the Madison Daily Leader of June 14, 1905, Moses was discharged "as cured" on Monday, June 12, 1905, by Dr. Turner

His profile is part of the https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Canton_Asylum.

Research Notes:
-The census reports from 1885 through 1888 are illegible, with two different census reports labeled with the same date not alphabetically arranged, and Moses was a surname and a given name. It was noted that these reports might help with other families, the names Claffin, Wishecoby, and Wauketch were visible. In one census the first 18 pages, in which Kenote usually appears, were missing!
-Since Moses did NOT appear in censuses until 1902 it is possible that he was a student at the Keshena Boarding School
-See the notes in the profile for Moses's wife Mary
-One needs to remember that the Green Bay Agency also supported the Stockbridge Muncie and Onida Indian tribes
-Mary Towma is shown as 1-year-old in the 1898 census at line 1232
