Pioneer Of Camas Prairie Expires
Horace Quigley, Prominent Central Idahoan, Died Following Stroke - Moved Here in 1919
Horace (Hod) Quigley, pioneer homesteader of Camas prairie, prominent in Pythian circles of Idaho and among the best known men in the central Idaho region, died at his home, 319 Jefferson street, at 5:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon from the effects of a paralytic stroke Tuesday night. He contracted influenza during the winter and never fully recovered his health, although he was able to attend to his business affairs up the time of his last illness.
Born at Drakesville, Iowa, February 2, 1859, and married in that state on December 25, 1883, to Miss Luella N. Donaldson, he located near Colton, Wash., in 1891 and in 1898 left there to take up a homestead at Ferdinand, where he remained until 1919 when the family moved to Lewiston.
Mr. Quigley was one of the organizers and a charter member of the Cottonwood lodge of Knights of Pythias, in which he retained his membership, and was active in the affairs of the order in Lewiston. Until several years ago he farmed in the Tammany section and later entered the business of auctioneer. During the World war Mr. Quigley was connected with the Ferdinand chapter of the Red Cross.
Besides his widow he is survived by five sons and two daughters: Harry Quigley, Horace Quigley, Thomas Quigley, Homer Quigley and Hale Quigley, all of Clarkston; Mrs. Vata Covey, Oakland, Cal., and Alta Quigley, at home; also a brother, D. M. Quigley, Clarkston, and a sister, Mrs. Laura Bunting, Palo Alto, Cal.
The body is resting at the Brower-Wann parlors. Funeral arrangements are pending word from Mrs. Covey and Mrs. Bunting.
