Notes for MARY ELLEN QUINN:
Notes made by Robert Rowen in December, 2000 while computerizing the Town's libraries:

"Minnie" Quinn was born in Great Barrington, Massachusetts at the corner of Main Street and High Street.

The Quinns lived in the Great Barrington house, at 4 High Street, from about 1868 to 1878. The High Street house is still there on a steep hill opposite Bridge Street. The shop in front, at 152 Main Street, was the harness shop owned by Luman Foote, an Episcopal clergyman from Arlington, Vermont who later made it possible for James Quinn, the one-legged Civil War veteran, to move with Minnie and the family to Canaan, Connecticut and buy his harness shop there.

Presumably James Quinn was treated generously in Great Barrington as his was the only distinctly Irish name on the membership role of the Housatonic Agricultural Society in an era of "No Irish Need Apply".

The house is now owned by the Sanders of Westchester County, NY who have decorated it with Revolutionary War era artifacts - not sure if that's anything like the interior of the place when Quinn Family lived there, 87 years after the Revolution - but 132 years from now. And the shop in front, in the year 2000, is now "Embargo Art" - sales of artists' work from Cuba. Tempus Fugit.
