Chief Caupolican's Wedding Halted in New York City Hall
A widely reported tale recounts Chief Caupolican, a South American Indian vaudeville figure, balking at a New York City Hall ceremony for Miss Cecile Archer-Burton after insisting on a church rite, citing Episcopalian faith, a mother demands, and a three week old dress. The tale, relayed from Atlanta, contrasts with a separate obituary of Joseph Cullen Root, founder of Woodmen of the World, who died December 24, 1913, in Hendersonville North Carolina after a long illness. His passing is marked by tributes to his work in fraternal insurance and social welfare.
