QUINBY DEAD" "'Uncle Free' Quinby, who had been ill for the past two months at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Carrie Hines, in the Second Ward, passed away on Tuesday morning, December 18, 1922. "He was a man of simple habits and unassuming ways and formed a large circle of friends in the past fifty years that he has resided in Lexington, Nebraska. He was one of the old-time stockmen and was known over a wide section of this part of the state having located here in old Plum Creek in 1878. He did his part in the up-building of Lexington and was one of the company of men who built the Cornland Hotel. He was a Union veteran of the Civil War and was a member of Company C, 7th Wisconsin Regiment and was wounded in the second battle of Bull Run. He also was a member of the local Masonic Order." "Freeman B. Quinby or 'Uncle Free' as most of his friends addressed him, was born in La Fayette county, Wisconsin, on June 23, 1840, where he grew to manhood. He will be greatly missed by his friends and his chair at the Thomas Garage, where for many years he greeted his friends, will be vacant. He is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Carrie Hines, of Lexington, Neb.; and three sons -- Frank and Lee Quinby, of Omaha and George Quinby, of Denver." "The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church on Thursday afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. A. P. Walton. Interment was in Greenwood cemetery where the solemn burial services of the Masonic order were carried out by the local lodge". The reference to the wounds in the 2nd Battle of Bull Run don't really do it justice - he took a gunshot wound to the head and they actually surgically implanted a steel plate - as you can see (below) from his Service record it took about 6 months in the hospital to recover. His brother George S. Quinby also served in the same regiment and company, but after Freeman was discharged. George was wounded in the Battle of the Wildernes, and taken prisoner into Andersonville in Georgia. Andersonville records show George survived the was and was released, but no more is known of George in the family after his capture. Freeman B. Quimby enlisted Aug. 14, 1861, Corp., 7th Regiment, Company C, Wisconsin Infantry (Iron Brigade) - residence: Hazel Green. Promoted to Corporal. Wounded ("shell wound on top of head") at Battle of Second Bull Run (Manassas), Virginia, Aug. 30, 1862. Sent to General Hospital at Broad & Cherry Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and discharged Mar. 21, 1863 due to wounds.
