Virginia Quinn was born to William H. and Mary Ellen (Porter) Quinn on April 13, 1872 at Antelope. She was the second of seven children born to William and Mary Ellen.
In 1873, William Quinn and his brother-in law, Samuel Porter, bought the Antelope Valley holdings of Perry and Garrett Maupin, sons of Howard Maupin, the first settler in that area. By 1876. William Quinn had moved his family to Grizzly where he engaged in raising cattle in partnership with his father-in-law and brothers-in-law.
In 1880, the partners lost 4000 cattle in a blizzard while the cattle were being driven to Wyoming. Discouraged, Quinn moved to the Willamette Valley, but in 1882 he returned to Grizzly, this time to raise sheep. He and his wife remained a Grizzly the rest of their lives and are buried in the Grizzly Cemetery.
Virginia Quinn married Samuel A Lytle in 1881. Samuel Lytle was also the son of pioneer parents. Andrew and Sarah Lytic had settled on the southeast side of Grizzly Mountain in 1870, when Sam was 10 months old. Lytle Creek is named for that family.
Sam and Virginia ranched at Grizzly for a while, moved to Prineville, and then took up a hcmestead at Grindstone in the Paulina area. In addition to ranching, Sam also drove a freight wagon to Shaniko and The Dalles.
After a time they moved to Suplee, where they built a large house for themselves and their eight children: Sammy (who died at 18 months), Earl, Judd, Hester, Lodema, Ada, Edna and Celia. Their Suplee house was located ncar what was called the "Upper School".
In 1924, Sam had a terrible accident from which he never fully recovered. He was working for the State Highway Department on the section from Prineville to Paulina on Upper Crooked River Road. Sam was driving a State Highway one-seater Model T truck over the narrow, winding road high above Crooked River in the area called "The Palisades". The steering mechanism failed and the truck hurtled over the cliffs edge, aimed for the river 300 feet below. The truck hung up on a tree, but Sam was thrown out, his body bouncing and ricocheting from stone to stone, all the way to the river's edge.
When he was rescued hours later, no one thought he could possibly recover, and he remained in a coma for a long, long time. However, after many month he was able to walk again, although his injuries were so severe that he could do only light odd-jobs for the rest of his life.
Sam and Virginia moved into Prineville where they lived in rented houses until 1943, when they bought a house which stood at the southwest corner of West Fourth and Claypool Streets. They lived here at the time of Sam's death, October 11, 1950, at the age of 81.
Virginia moved to Bend to live with her daughter, Lodema. While she was visiting another daughter, Celia, at The Dalles, she fell and broke her hip. She never recovered and died at The Dalles September 10, 1969. She is buried in the family plot in Juniper Haven Cemetery in Prineville.
