From the Weimar (TX) Mercury, June 24, 1960, p.1:
Judge C. K. Quin, 83, Buried Tuesday At San Antonio
Funeral services were held Tuesday morning at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in San Antonio for Judge C. K. Quin, veteran San Antonio jurist and former resident of Weimar.

A former San Antonio mayor and judge of the 57th District Court at San Antonio 18 years, he died at 6:45 p.m. Saturday in a San Antonio hospital of post-operative shock.

He had undergone surgery in Houston the previous week. He was dead within five minutes after his relapse set in.

Born and reared here, he was a son of H. C. Quin Sr., a former Weimar mayor. Before going to San Antonio many years ago, he had served as county superintendent of schools in Colorado County and as county judge. He was quite prominent in San Antonio politics. One of the papers there referred to him this week as "last leader of the city-county political combine, and one of Bexar County's all-time political giants."

His first wife, who died many years ago, was a Miss Townsend of here. A brother, Harry Carter Quin, preceded him in death in 1952.

Survivors are his widow, Mrs. Janice Houston Brown Quin; an adopted daughter, Mrs. Fred (nee Judy Beth Brandt) Scheibe Jr.; a sister, Miss Carrie Quin; and two grandchildren, Charles K. Quin Scheibe and Janice Rowena Scheibe. All are of San Antonio.
