Notes
Pam-py-yoke’s great niece, Amy Broom, reported in 1952 that Pam-py-yoke and Yeager had “a little boy” who “died when he was an infant.” This suggests that the couple was together for at least a year before separating. Yeager evidently went with his father, Sagwitch, to Fort Hall, following the Corinne Scare of 1875. An 1878 reservation census listed “Seg-witch” and “Yu-ga” living in lodge 119. Pam-py-yoke was evidently not with him, and it is likely that their marriage had ended by that time.
