This is what I know about her, but who knows how much of it is truth and how much is legend.... she was an orphan and was raised by Catholic nuns on a reservation. They also educated her. In her lifetime, she was married to a few different men. Her first husband had the last name of Runsclosetovillage. He and her two oldest children died of some illness (small pox?) only she and the baby lived... Gladys Runsclosetovillage. From there she got a job as a teacher on a reservation in South Dakota. Then she married Patrick Harrington (an Irish man fleeing the law) and had Maxie, Manuel (Uncle Manny) and my Grandma Gertrude Marie Harrington. After Mr. Harrington died, they went on to the Detroit Michigan area. My grandmother, my mother and I are all members of the Lac Courte Orielles tribe in Wisconsin. This is where she came from. I also thought that her maiden name wa! s Homesky. Please write to me at my e-mail address [email protected] for more information. Your story is strange and I'd like to figure it out. My Mother knows more details about names and dates and places than I do. I hope to hear from you soon. MaraLee Richardson
