Belle Kinney Scholz
Belle Marshall Kinney (1890–1959) was a Euro-American sculptor, born in Tennessee, worked and died in New York state.
In 1897, at age 7, she won first prize at the Tennessee Centennial Exposition for a bust of her father. In 1905, at age 15, she was awarded a scholarship to study at the Art Institute of Chicago. At age 17 (1907), she received her first commission to sculpt the statue of Jere Baxter, organizer of the Tennessee Central Railway. In 1921 Kinney married Austrian-born sculptor Leopold Scholz (1877–1946), and with him completed several other works, including the Victory statue in the War Memorial Building court at Legislative Plaza, Nashville (1929) and the bronze figure of Victory for the World War I Memorial in Pelham Bay Park, Bronx, New York City (1933).
Kinney died at age 69 in Boiceville, Ulster County, New York.
