Onnolee

According to legend, Onnolee was the last survivor of the Munsee nation, which dwelt on the west shore of Canadice lake and near Bald Hill (in the Finger Lakes region, New York) during the latter part of the fourteenth century, and met their death by the hands of the Mengnees; all except Onnolee, who was taken, bound to the belt of the famous leader, Mickinac, and compelled to follow him. At their first rest for dinner, Onnolee grasped the knife from her captor's belt, and buried it deep in his side. She knew her life was forfeited and fled while arrows whizzed by her in all directions. At Hemlock Lake, she jumped to her own death. It is said that, for more than three hundred years afterwards, the ghost of the once beautiful Onnolee could be seen to rise from its watery grave and either vanish in upper air or return again to the bosom of the deep.
This legend was also the subject of one of the poems of 19th-century poet W.H.C. Hosmer.
The origin and meaning of the name itself are unknown.
