\"\"According to the 1910 U.S. Census<\/a>, Joseph F. Tarbell (so se teio nen tat te) was born in 1890 in Hogansburg, a hamlet of the town of Bombay, which borders the St. Regis Indian Reservation in Franklin County, New York. \u00a0He is the son of Phillip Tarbell and Nancy Papineau. \u00a0Phillip had full indian blood while Nancy had only half. Joe was the third-born of seven children. \u00a0He had three brothers, Frank, Louis and Peter, as well as two sisters, Maggie and Charlotte. \u00a0His family was a member of the Mohawk tribe, which is one of the six nations that make up the Iroquois Confederacy.<\/p>\n

In Joe Tarbell’s school records<\/a> from the Carlisle Indian School Digital Resource Center, it says he first arrived at the school on August 10, 1901 having had 20 months of previous schooling. \u00a0He stayed in Carlisle until August 21, 1906. \u00a0The records indicate that he was already a member of the Catholic church prior to arrival. \u00a0 During these five years, he had a few “outings<\/a>” in which he stayed with someone outside the school for extended periods of time. \u00a0One such outing was with someone named Thomas La Rue in Siles, Pennsylvania that started on March 31, 1904. \u00a0It ended on December 12, 1905 because he ran away. \u00a0The records do not indicate why he ran away or where he ran away to. \u00a0After being at home in New York for two years following his first tenure in Carlisle, Joe successfully reapplied to the school at age 17, and began his second term on February 8, 1907. \u00a0His report card indicates that the teachers at the school felt his scholarship and conduct were both exemplary. \u00a0However, the records say he “deserted” both outings he had during this time. \u00a0He left the school for good on November 19, 1910.<\/p>\n

Joe was apparently a talented baseball player. \u00a0In 1911, he signed a contract to play professionally with the Albany Senators of the New York State League. \u00a0But, his career in baseball was short-lived. \u00a0This can be seen in the records where he self-reported to the school in 1914, saying that he was currently farming in Hogansburg. \"\"He wrote a letter<\/a> to the Carlisle Indian School in April 1917 from Highland Park, Michigan where he was visiting his brother Peter, who worked in a Ford factory. \u00a0Joseph was trying to enlist the superintendent’s help in procuring a spot in the “Students Course” at the Ford Factory. \u00a0The superintendent answered Joe, saying that he would not send Joe unless he came to Carlisle and completed preparatory classes. \u00a0For whatever reason, Joe never took the classes, and instead decided to join the military. \u00a0On May 16, 1917, Tarbell, at the age of 27, enlisted in the army. \u00a0According to his WW I Army card<\/a>, he served overseas from July 9, 1917 to April 27, 1919. \u00a0He was honorably discharged on May 15, 1919.\"\"\u00a0 Joe was married to a woman named Bessie according to the 1920 U.S. census<\/a>. \u00a0However, in the 1940 census<\/a>, Joe was married to a woman named Anna Bero and living in Mount Vernon, New York, where they had been for at least 5 years. \u00a0Joe was working as a retail salesman. \u00a0He and Anna had one child, a daughter named Barbara. \u00a0Joseph F. Tarbell died on February 16, 1942 and was buried in Hogansburg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
