M, b. 1771
  • Birth*: Benjamin was born in 1771, Pennsylvania.1,2
  • Research Note*: A Benjamin Pratt is listed in the Greensburg, PA "Greensburgh & Indiana Gazette" in the list of letters remaining at the Post Office. Greensburg is about 3/4 of the way from Carlisle to Pittsburgh. Viewed on genealogybank.com.
  • Marriage*: Benjamin married Elizabeth Ann (?) circa 1815.1
  • Biography*: 1846: According to Mason Delano Pratt, Benjamin "must have been a farmer, for in 1846 he, with his son's family, migrated to Indiana. He purchased a tract of canal lands in Marshall County near Lake Maxinkuckee. The deed issued to him by the State recites that he came from Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, but extensive search has so far failed to find any records of his living there...Sometime during the [Civil] War he moved to Queen Annes County, Maryland, for a deed for the farm, given to William Sturgeon in 1864, was signed by him and his wife."1
  • (Witness) Census: Benjamin Pratt appeared on the census of 24 September 1850 in the household of Mary Herrick at Eel Township, Cass County, Indiana, (See record of Mary Herrick for details.).2
  • Death*: Benjamin's death date is unknown. Perhaps before 1860 because he does not appear with Mary Herrick in the 1860 census.

The youngest son, Mason Alexander, in 1902 in Steelton, PA.

  • Birth*: Mason was born on 29 April 1901.1
  • He was the son of Mason Delano Pratt and Mabel Crane.1
  • Anecdote*: From a Harrisburg, PA newspaper: "Alexander Pratt, the six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Mason D. Pratt, Green and Herr streets, accidentally shot himself yesterday morning with his father's old-fashioned four-shot pistol with which he was playing. Mr. Pratt was in Carlisle and Mrs. Pratt was away from home. Little Alexander got the pistol out of the drawer where it is kept by Mr. Pratt and put it into his overcoat pocket. He strolled down Green street and entered the home of Francis H. Hoy, Jr., where he is a frequent visitor. As soon as he entered the room where some of the members of the family were, Miss Malaney, a sister-in-law of Mr. Hoy, saw the pistol sticking out of the boy's pocket and asked him what it was. The youngster immediately pulled the pistol out and began to flourish it about. Miss Malaney cautioned him to be careful and not point it at any one. She had no sooner warned him than he lowered the pistol, the trigger caught in his clothing and the weapon was accidentally discharged. The ball entered the groin and took a downward course through the thigh, coming out at the back of the limb just above the knee. The boy was immediately placed on a couch and the blood washed away from the wound. Hot applications were kept on the wound until medical attendance was summoned when, after an examination, Mr. Hoy, who had been called home by his wife, carried the little sufferer in his arms to his home. The wound is not a serious one and it is expected that a quick recovery will be made."

At the outbreak of the Civil War, he enlisted in the 9th Indiana Volunteer Infantry and later served with the 2nd Indiana Volunteer Cavalry and the 11th Indiana Volunteer Cavalry and was mustered out of the Volunteer Service in May 1865.
    After two years in the hardware business, he reentered the Army in March 1867 as Second Lieutenant in the 10th United States Cavalry, a black regiment which had only white officers. He was promoted to First Lieutenant in July. He took part in several Indian Wars on the Frontier and in 1875 was detailed to Fort Marion, St. Augustine, Florida. Over the next three years he was successful in his attempts to educate his Indian prisoners, and in 1878 he was sent to organize an Indian Branch of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. That experiment was less than successful and in 1878 he obtained permission to convert a portion of Carlisle Barracks in Pennsylvania to an Indian School. The school opened in October 1879 with 82 Sioux children and was formally recognized by Congress in 1882. The course at Carlisle combined academic work with vocational training in a broad range of fields and the unique "outing" system, which placed students in White homes and schools or jobs for a year to further their adjustment to white society. The school was a model for many reservation schools built later. The school grew steadily, and in his 25 years as Superintendent he had charge of some 5,000 Indian children of more than 70 tribes.
    He was promoted Captain in February 1883; Major in July 1898; Lieutenant Colonel in February 1901; and Colonel in January 1903. He retired from the Army in February 1903 and in April 1904 he was advanced to Brigadier General on the Retired List. He died at San Francisco, March 15, 1924, and was buried in Section 3 of Arlington National Cemetery. His wife, Anna Laura Mason Pratt, 1844-1922, is buried with him. His private memorial reads:
    "Veteran Of The Civil War
    Friend And Counselor Of The Indians
    Founder And Superintendent Of the Carlisle Indian School (1879-1904)
    Erected in living memory by his students and other Indians"
    The Carlisle Institute in later years fielded a formidable football team, coached in 1899-1904 and 1906-1915 by Glenn S. "Pop" Warner and led in 1911-12 by All-American Jim Thorpe. The school had an enrollment of about 1,000 at the time of its closing in 1918.
