Find a Grave bio below. NOTE: Elmira was his spouse and she was the sibling of Charlotte, NOT daughter of Charlotte, they were daughters of Ahniwaki "Annie" SPIRIT Mayes Snell. Ahniwaki's last name was never Spiritkiller, according to any enrollment papers or statements/testimonies. Only when I see her name spelled as below, do I sometimes see Spiritkiller as her last name.
