1923 · The Last Indian War
The Posey War was to be considered the final Indian War in American history. It was a minor conflict, but it involved a mass exodus of Ute and Paiute from their land around current day Bluff, Utah. The natives were led by a chief named Posey, hence the name, who took his people into the mountains to try and escape his pursuers. The war ended after a skirmish at Comb Ridge. Posey was badly wounded, and his band was taken to a prisoner-of-war camp in Blanding. When Posey's death was confirmed by the authorities, the prisoners were released and given land allotments to farm and raise livestock.
1947 · The Presidential Succession Act
The Presidential Succession Act is an act establishing the presidential line of succession. This was a precursor for the Twenty-fifth Amendment which outlines what is to happen when a President is killed, dies, or is unable to fulfill the responsibilities of President.
Name Meaning
English: habitational name from North or South Elkington in Lincolnshire, from an Old English personal name (possibly Ēadlāc) + -ing, denoting association, + Old English tūn ‘farmstead, settlement’. Elkington in Northamptonshire is unlikely to be the source of the surname, for until c. 1617 it was called Eltington or Elteton.
