Obituary:
KELLEY QUINN IS FOUND DEAD
Mother Finds Him Dead as She Calls Him to Breakfast

The death messenger came unannounced to Kelley W. Quinn, better known in this community as Cal Quinn, Friday morning. He died unattended in his bed between five and six o'clock in the morning. His death was undoubtedly due to heart failure and to all appearances was without struggle or pain. He had been in poor health for years, having been a physical wreck and with very little vitality left to withstand any sudden attack of the disease. Friday evening he had gone to bed at the home of his father, Mart Quinn, where he has lived for some time, in about his usual state of health and before he retired he said he felt somewhat stronger than usual.

His mother got up about five o'clock Friday morning and going to his room asked if he was all right. He responded by nodding his head but did not speak. Mrs. Quinn set about getting breakfast and when that task was completed a half an hour or so later she called him to get up but got no response. Going to his bed she tried to arouse him but found that he was dead. To all appearances he has passed away in his sleep and death was without a struggle. Unexpected as it was his demise was not a great surprise to many of his acquaintances who had noted his failing health in the last year.

The funeral service was conducted at the Lutheran church Sunday afternoon, the sermon being preached by the pastor, Rev. C.R. Bowers in the presence of a congregation that filled the church. Interment was made in Oak Lawn cemetery.

Kelley W. Quinn was known to all the people of this community for thirty years past. He was born near Mexico, Miami county, August 31, 1856, and at death was a little over fifty-four years of age. When he was a young man his parents came to this city and his home has been here ever since. About twenty-one years ago he married Anna [should read Jemima] Galbreath, of Pierceton, and three children were born to them, one dying in infancy.

He is survived by his father and mother, his wife, one brother, two sons, Robert and Thomas Quinn, and other relatives.
