- LIZZIE MUNROE, DAUGHTER OF RISING WOLF
Lizzie, the second daughter of Rising Wolf and Sinopah, is an elusive figure in the Blackfoot Reservation records. The best glimpses of her character are found in the writings about her brother Frank, and in her nephew, William Jackson's, stories about his early adventures with the family. The following records are from her undated transcript to the Blackfoot Agency.
National Archives Records of Blackfeet Indians MF#1275621 LDS Library SLCity, UT., March 1995 Page # 538
Listed as "Lizzie Smith" and designated a full sister of Frank Munro on page 528 of same document. Lizzie was born on Maria's Creek in the present Glacier County of Montana - at that time part of the Dakota Territory or undesignated Northwest Territory of the U.S. Birth order unsure - may have been third child of Hugh Munro and Kit Fox Woman (Full Blackfoot wife); was listed as 63 years old on above undated transcript (PROBABLY 1906-8).
Her first marriage was to a Joe Deschamps, who is dead by 1906, and his relatives unknown. She lists as children of this marriage:
MARY COBELL, wife of TONY COBELL who lives on the Flathead Indian Reservation. Had a boy, now dead - No issue.
Her present marriage is listed as with WILLIAM "Nosey" SMITH; whereabouts peresently unknown. They were married at Choteau by a Justice of the Peace in about 1874, about one year after she came back from the North. Listed are six children of this marriage.
Julia - wife of George Cook
William - married and lives on reservation
Matilda - widow of Charley Buckly, lives Great Falls, has some children.
Samuel - married, lives at Summit, MT
Viola - wife of Charley Delaney
Peter - 20, single, lives on Livermore Creek with mother.
Lizzie traveled as a child with her family from the U.S. Northwest Territory to Canada. She returned to the Blackfeet Reservation in about 1873 and was on the Indian rolls and lived in about 1906-7 at Livermore Creek. In the 1809 Reservation Census she is listed as: #1439 Lizzie Smith, widow, age 75. (Probable birth year 1833 or before.)
Lizzie Munro was an exceptionally independant and strong minded woman. In a culture where womwn were usually dependant on a husband for food, housing and other necessities it is unusual to read the narrations about her by her brothers. In stories narrated to Schultz, Frank Munro represents Lizzie as a girl who was anxious to acquire the skills of her brothers, and excelled at trapping, hunting and other activities. Her independance is reflected in her deposition to the Blackfoot Agency when she states her husband is "Nosey Smith, whereabouts unknown."
