Known as Mary Greene, Mary Redd, Mary Taylor, White Feather , and Eagle Feather, the stories say that she was an American Native princess, a Sioux from the Dakota territory, taken from the arms of her dead mother, Prairie Flower, after a massacre by the American government. As a youth she was sent to the Carlisle Indian School and after that she never left central Pennsylvania. Her funeral was attended by many Native Americans. There are pictures of the funeral in the church archives.
