Promotion of Llewellyn Kingsley from the post of administrative officer at the Uintah and Ouray Indian Agency, Fort Duchesne, Utah, to the position of superintendent of the Winnebago Agency, Winnebago, Nebraska, was announced today by the Department of the Interior.
Mr. Kingsley will assume his new duties effective March 6. He succeeds Allan M. Adams who recently transferred to the Washington Office of the Bureau of Indian Affairs as a realty officer.
The new Winnebago superintendent first came with the Bureau in 1936 as an assistant clerk at the Navajo Agency, Window Rock, Ariz. Two years later he moved to the Hopi Agency, Keams Canyon, Ariz., as foreman of water development. After 13 years in this post he was named chief clerk of the Hopi Agency in 1951 and was then promoted to administrative officer of the same agency in 1953. Three years later he transferred as administrative officer to the San Carlos Agency, San Carlos, Ariz., and in 1958 moved to his present position at Fort Duchesne.
Before joining the Bureau of Indian Affairs, he was associated for nine years with an oil company in Oklahoma. He was born at Canton, Oklahoma, in 1904 and attended the University of Colorado from 1923 to 1926.
