Lot of over 280 photographs and other paper related to the Quinion Family. Research indicates that a member of the family, H. Chris Quinion, a native of Vermont, moved to North Dakota in 1885. Quinion, like others of this period, was probably lured to the Dakotas with the offer of free land in return for building a home and remaining on the land for a period of time. Quinion is credited with starting the Q Bar Ranch on Magpie Creek, which had between 600-700 horses. Approximately 25 years later, a petition was circulated to establish a post office in the area of Quinion's ranch, but a name for the area was needed in order for this to be done. Thus, the area in Billings County, located 29 miles NNE of Medora, was named Quinion in honor of H.C. Quinion. Members of the Quinion family also settled in New England, specifically in Connecticut and the Schnob Brook area of Massachusetts. Although limited information is available on the history of this family, it appears that the Quinions interacted with notable figures of the early 20th century, as indicated by some of the photos in the collection. Highlights from the archive include: photograph of Herbert Hoover fishing; photograph of Richard, Joe, and George Quinion and their horses at the Q-Bar ranch; a herd of cattle at the Q-Bar ranch; mounted photograph of several men identified on verso as Ted Roosevelt (Extreme Left) and His rough Riders on Q-Bar Ranch, although the Roosevelt identification is questionable; photograph of George Quinion with a 15-ton portable boiler being hauled by horses; photograph of members of the Quinion family at their Yalesville, CT, property; George Quinion's 32nd degree masonic certificate; typewritten family records including birth and death dates; album of cabinet cards, CDVs, and tintypes, most from Boston with others from Napa, CA; lithographed photo postcard of President Roosevelt and family. Photograph of Senator Robert Taft fishing at the eastern Quinion farm in Massachusetts; photograph of a 300 pound black bear captured by George Quinion; ca 1920-40s album of hundreds of family photographs, most from Massachusetts, including sailing, fishing, firefighters in action, and Cpl. Lenard "Cook" Quinion stationed in Iceland during WWII; and a large photograph of an enormous moose shot by Dod Quinion hanging in front of the Bristol Hardware Co.
