George L. Quenby was the manager of Little Bay’s Mining Company Store. Little Bay was composed of several named areas with the two largest being The Bight and Loading Wharf. The Company Store had two locations with one located in each of those two areas.

He does not appear on the 1882 Voter’s List and first appears in my records in 1884 indicating an arrival of 1883 or 1884. He had a son named William S. who was born in 1862. There is also a girl named Fanny that I believe to be his daughter. There are a variety of spellings for this last name so I’ve sorted my references accordingly.
