The two returned to the area,<br />
with Farnsworth dividing his<br />
time between the settlement<br />
at Green Bay and the<br />
Menominee River location.<br />
Farnsworth was one of the<br />
two builders of the FIRST<br />
sawmill on the Menominee<br />
River, which left Marinette<br />
to run the trading post on<br />
her own, which she did with<br />
wisdom and shrewdness,<br />
according to most<br />
recollections. She was well<br />
known for her charity work.<br />
While Farnsworth’s mill failed,<br />
his wife thrived. Her home,<br />
several doors east of Hattie<br />
Street Bridge on what is now<br />
called Riverside Avenue in<br />
the City of Marinette, was<br />
a “social” center. It is said<br />
here, both Indian and traders<br />
danced to the fiddle music<br />
played by a man known<br />
HISTORY OF MARINETTE<br />
as Joe Bart, and another<br />
musician named Joe<br />
Therriault.<br />
During her later years, the<br />
business-savvy Marinette<br />
owned a good deal of land in<br />
the heart of town, including<br />
much of Riverside Avenue<br />
and downtown. Some of her<br />
parcels were eventually<br />
sold to<br />
make<br />
way for the<br />
Victorian mansions of<br />
the lumber barons who<br />
ruled the local economy.<br />
She was buried in the old<br />
Allouez Cemetery until her<br />
grave was moved to the<br />
<strong>city</strong> to which she gave<br />
her name.<br />
There is a beautiful decorated<br />
crypt of her, placed inside<br />
the Marinette Mausoleum<br />
on Mary Street.<br />
