Vinita Named For F1er.
The following from Kansas City
paper will interest VinIta people
inasmuch as Vinita was named for
Winnie Ream by e. G. Boudinot,
Sr.
| Among the bids for the statue
of John S ingalls, submitted at To-
peka was one from Winnie Ream
Hoxie, sculptor of Western birth
and rearing, who was once the
pride of Kansas. Winnie Ream
was born in log cabin in Wiscon.
sin 10 1847. In 1854 she came
with her father to Kansas and the
father was appointed chief clerk
to the surveyor general Of the
territory. Shortly after the break
ing out of the civil war the father
secured clerkship in the treas
ury department at Washington,
aid Winnie secured small place
in the postal department. One
day, while watching the elder
Mills at work in clay she exclaim-
ed: "I can do that tool' Mills
indulgently gave her lump of
clay and told her to try it A few
days later she returned to his stu
dio with the bust Of an Indian
which Mills pronounced to be the
best thing of the kind he had ever
seen. Winnie then commenced
work in earnest. Within year
she was given a commission by
congress for life size statue of
Lincoln at a cost of $4,000. In
1871 this statue was unveiled in
the rotunda of the capitol at
Washington. Congress then gave
her a commission for a statue OF
Farragut, and these are the only
orders for statuary ever given by
the government TO a woman.
Miss Ream was married to
Lieutenant (now Msjor) Richard
L Hoxie in 1878, and the family |
home is in Washington. Major
Hoxie is in the engineer corps and
attached to the light house service.
The meteoric career of Miss
Ream is perhaps best remembered
on account of the storm of protest
which went up when she was given
