| NOTES: |
This is a true story of Uriel Hadley who was known as "Nankirou", his native title at his home in Motok, Kitti. Uriel's grandfather was Captain James Hadley (originally spelled "Headley"), an Englishman out of New Bedford. In 1907, Uriel accompanied Thomas and Leta Gray, foreign missionaries under the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in New York, to America where he spent the next 40 years until his death in 1947 in St. Louis, Missouri. Uriel is also buried there. |
