HARRIET QUINNEY
With the passing of Miss Harriet Quinney, the last princess of the Stockbridge Indian tribe which settled in the town of Stockbridge in 1833, has gone to her reward. She is the last of a family of thirteen children born to Chief Austin and Mrs. Jane Quinney. The Quinney family were members of the Six Nations, who under the treaty with the general government in 1832 were allotted what is now known as the town of Stockbridge and their jurisdiction embraced all of Calumet County with the exception of the Brothertown reservation and the town of New Holstein in 1843 when the Indians put on citizens' garb and organized the town of Stockbridge.
Harriet Quinney was born Jan. 29, 1844 on the farm now owned by Peter Puetz, two miles north of Stockbridge Corners. The Quinney Family sold their holdings in 1859 and moved to Red Wing, Shawano county where they remained until 1861, when they returned to Stockbridge and purchased the Hector McLean farm near McLean's Corners. They were extremely religious and were the prime movers in establishing the first church in Stockbridge of the Congregational denomination. Miss Quinney spent her entire life in Stockbridge with the exception of her residence in Red Wing and three years at Oshkosh.
As members of the family passed away she transacted the business of the household, disposing of her holdings in small parcels paying her way as she went. She was proud of her blood and lived a truly, upright, honorable life. Although she was friendly with settlers who came later she did not force herself upon them. She was esteemed and respected by every one in Stockbridge who knew her. She purchased the old post office building owned by the late H. O. Dudley in the early days of the village and had it moved to her farm and remodeled into a home. She was a well known figure in the village which she visited every day for her mail and supplies walking the distance from her home up to the last. She enjoyed good health until the Tuesday previous to her death when she was taken ill and was removed to the home of her niece, Mrs. Wm. Moore, where she died as above stated.
The funeral was held Sunday from the Moore home, Rev. E. L. Worthman of Kaukauna officiating with burial in the family cemetery.
She is survived by three nephews, Simeon Moor, Irving Moore of Stockbridge and Milford Quinney of Gresham, eight nieces, Mrs. A. J. Bryant of Oak Park, Ill, Mrs. J. Henderson of Salt Lake City, Utah, Mrs. C. A Carpenter of Fond du Lac, Miss Olive Quinney, Mrs. J. Quinney, Mrs. C. Quish, Mrs. Rosa Quinney of Gresham and Mrs. Wm. Moore of Stockbridge.
