Obituary of Mr. Quinlan, published in the Portland Observer, Thursday, March 12, 1914:
Funeral services for P. B. Quinlan, who took his own life last week by swallowing a quantity of strychnine, were largely attended at the late home, west of the village, Friday afternoon.
Rev. Wm. W. Slee, of the Methodist church delivered a very impressive funeral sermon in which he eulogized Mr. Quinlan as a good citizen and a man with whom it was a pleasure to associate. Rev. Slee certainly spoke the truth in this regard as friends of Mr. Quinlan will gladly testify
.
The floral tributes were abundant. Those from a distance who were here for the last rites were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Merrill of Grand Junction, Michigan, Eugene Baldwin and Miss Grace Baldwin, of Cleveland , Ohio.
