Nineteen members and guest Jodi Phillips of Kappa Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma International met Betsy Bowen at Upper Sandusky’s Old Mission Church on Sept. 14 at 10 a.m. Bowen presented various interesting facts of the history of the church and native Americans of the Wyandot tribe and their leaders. The church was built in 1824 and rebuilt in 1889. The U.S. government forced the Wyandots to move west in 1843, but the people did have a year to make a choice to move or not as a number of the Wyandots had intermarried with white families. Their greatest decision was whether they would give up their ties to the Wyandot tribe. Some of those who had moved west to Kansas did return to Upper Sandusky as the Kansas land was not of their liking.
