Death came to Miss Ella Jane Petoskey at the Emmet County Medical Care Facility 
October 17, 1972 at the age of 92.  She had spent the most of the summer and 
fall at the Lockwood-McDonald Hospital in Petoskey.  Had she had her choice, 
she would have died at her cabin in the woods when she could no longer make it 
on her own.  Burial was in Friendship Township Cemetery about ten miles north 
of Harbor Springs.
Miss Petoskey attended the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania and later had 
taught there.  She taught school on several western Indian reservations.  She 
played the Minnehaha lead in the Hiawatha play at Petoskey.  The play was 
sponsored by the railroad to entertain the thousands of excursionists in the 
early 1900s.  She was the granddaughter of Chief Ignatius Petoskey, who once 
owned the land on which the city of Petoskey is situated.
