The late Mr. Quinn was a son of James Quinn and Ann Hutchinson, having been born on the old Quinn homestead, Feb. 17th, 1853, thus being in his 84th year. About two years ago Mr. Quinn had a few distressing seizures and made remarkably successful recoveries from them and since then has been apparently in the enjoyment of the best of health despite his advanced years, until he was suddenly stricken, passing from the house to the stable at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 22nd, intending to get a mount and proceed in search of the cattle on another holding. His son, Lloyd, in the barn at the time, observed his father fall and ran to his assistance, but death apparently had overtaken him, and by the time medical aid had arrived from Alliston, life was extinct. James Quinn will long be remembered as a descendant and exemplar of rugged, successful pioneering stock, a wise and worthy Christian neighbor, friend and citizen, whose judgment and co-operative efforts were ever valued and deeply appreciated. He was gifted with a high degree of business acumen and in religious circles was all through his long life unsparing in his efforts as a member, communicant and supporter of St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Mono. During a busy life he filled faithfully and with great acceptance at various periods the offices of Vestryman, Warden, Lay Representative to the Diocesan Synod, and Superintendent of the Sunday School. The large company of relatives, friends and admirers at the funeral speaks volumes for the life so suddenly removed and the powerful factor he was in the life and progress of the community where he spent his whole life. The late Mr. Quinn married Rachel McFarland, of Mono, in St. Paul’s Church, Mono, on March 5th, 1884, Rev. A. C. Watt officiating. He is survived by his wife and five children, the Misses Pearl and Velma at home, Lolo, aged 9 years was stricken with scarlet fever and laid to rest October 18th, 1909, and three sons, Samuel, of Bradford, Wilfred, of Toronto, and Lloyd at home, next of kin. One brother, Joseph, of Cooksville, and four sisters, also survive: Mrs. Wm. Atkinson, Mono; Mrs. M. J. Leighton, Toronto; Mrs. John Lundy, Toronto, Mrs. Matthew Ferns, East Garafraxa. The pallbearers were his closest neighbors, Messrs. Robert Smith, Samuel Rawn, William and Wesley Penelton, Lawrence Coles and Thomas Wilson. The flowerbearers were seven nephews, Messrs. Herman McFarland, Morris and Alvin Quinn, Truman Ferns, Truman Moore, John Atkinson, Bruce Leighton. The funeral service, the beautiful, simple ritual of the Anglican Communion, was taken at the family residence at 2 o’clock on Monday, the 24th inst., and at the graveside in St. John’s Church Cemetery, Mono, where interment took place in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing people. The Rev. Ernest P. Wood officiated. Mr. John Page presided at the organ. The late James Quinn’s grandfather, his mother and sisters emigrated to this country from County Armagh, Ireland, away back in the “thirties” which obviously gives this family and their extensive connections in Toronto, Mono and adjacent townships rank among the descendants of the very earliest settlers in this historic portion of Ontario. Among the exquisite array of floral tributes were: A pillow from The Family, wreath from Brother Joseph Quinn, wreaths from Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Leighton and family, Mr. and Mrs. Truman Ferns, “In loving memory of Grandpa,” Murray Quinn, Henry Pringle, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Ferns and Wilfrid Quinn, “Deepest sympathy,” Hilliard and Eleanor, Joe, Martha and Family, Mr. and Mrs. J. Lundy and Kathleen, the Atkinson Family, St. Paul’s Church, Mono, Rev. and Mrs. Ernest P. Wood. In closing may we say, thinking of life’s work well done, hearts gladdened and hands made strong: “Farewell, veteran in Christ’s service of long ago and until now. May an ‘abundant entrance’ be administered unto you and your ear entranced by His own ‘Well Done.’ ” - CON by Rev. E. P. Wood.
