Passing of a Pioneer -- Mr. Richard Quickfall Died This Afternoon at the Age of 77 Years
A host of people, throughout the district will be deeply grieved to learn of the death this afternoon of Richard M. Quickfall, one of the most widely known and hihly respected residents of this district, in his 78th year.
The deceased came to Canada with his parents from near Syracuse, N.Y., over seventy years ago. The family located on a farm near Bridgeport, then known as the Ziegler farm. Some years later the family moved to the Moxley farm, whence the deceased grew up, succeeding to the property on the death of his father. In 1889 Mr. Quickfall moved to a farm near Lexington, residing there until about six years ago, when he retired from active life and took up his residence in Bridgeport. Mrs. Quickfall passed away in April of this year and since that time the deceased had resided with his son Mr. Albert Quickfall, David Street. He had been ill for about six weeks, death being due to his advanced age.
In the death of Richard Quickfall, Waterloo County loses one of its few remaining pioneers. He was known and beloved throughout the district, and to be numbered among his friends was accounted a high honor. Progressive in his ideas he prospered financially, but the spirit of charity was strong within hom and many have received from him a heloing hand. His kindly and cheerful character endeared him to all with whom he came in contact, and his passing will bring sorrow to many homes.
He could tell of Berlin when it was but a mere village and his intimate friends were frequently entertained by interesting reminiscences of the early days in this country.
In politics the deceased was a Reformed. He was an adherent of the Methodist church.
The survivors are three sons, Messrs. Albert, David Street, Berlin; Allen E., on the farm; and Charles of Berlin. Two sisters, Mrs. Bowers of Minnesota, and Mrs. Devitt, of Burlington, who survive.
The funeral arrangements have not yet been completed.
