Mathias Splitlog, an Indian of large business operations, lived on what then was known as "Splitlog's Hill,"
the house standing near the site of the great St. Mary's stone Catholic church of this day, one of the most
magnificent religious edifices in the west. Splitlog was a Mohawk Indian born in Canada, but his wife was a
Wyandot, a daughter of Mrs. Hannah Armstrong, who lived on the hill on the north side) of the Kansas river
valley near the present city park.
Splitlog was a mechanical genius. He had a mill near his house, in which he ground corn by horse power,
built by himself. He afterwards erected a saw mill near where the Union Pacific Armstrong shops were built.
He constructed the mill and installed the engine himself, and he was his own engineer. During the Civil war
Splitlog built a small steamboat for George P. Nelson to ply the upper waters of the Missouri. It carried
supplies to the Kansas sufferers while running between Wyandotte and Atchison, Nelson serving as captain
and Splitlog as engineer. In 1861 the steamboat was pressed into service to carry Colonel Mulligan's soldiers
down the Missouri river to Lexington. Splitlog and George Shreiner were in the boat - Splitlog as engineer
and Shreiner as pilot. The boat landed in Lexington in time to be surrounded by General Price, and Shreiner
lost an arm before Colonel Mulligan surrendered.
Many stories are told of the remarkable shrewdness of this Indian in driving a bargain. When the Wyandot
lands were divided, Splitlog took his share in the bottoms along the Kansas river. He sold his bottom lands to
the railroads and they made him the wealthiest Indian in the tribe. With the Wyandots he moved to the Indian
Territory, in 1874, and built a fine saw mill and grist mill. He later made investments in southwestern
Missouri, platting a town there and calling it Splitlog. He also built a railroad fifty miles long running from
Neosho south. Splitlog was known as the Indian millionaire and lived to be nearly ninety years old.
