City Treasurer of Rome Passed Away
Yesterday MoriLg, > ’
ANOTHER OLD SETTLER OF CITY GONE
He Was Nearlr Seventy-Seven Yeas. |of Age.
One of First Conductors on Rome
Road—Funeral Today.
A great heart was into serene
-and eternal rest yesterday morning at 8
o’clock.
Death touched John M. Quinn, and
he fell asleep. There was no keen death
bed anguish only a tremor of the frame,
a sigh, and a soul was npborne through
the pure and beautiful morning to God’s
feet. ,
Nealy three weeks ago, the kindly
face and snow crowned head disap
peared from its accustomed place at the
city hall. He had been stricken with the
illness which was the; beginning of the
end. Since then he has} grown steadily
weaker day by day. The loved compan
ion of nearly half a century and his
children knew that the,worst was to be
expected. Wednesday night his condi
tion was critical, and yesterday morning
the light on earth faded for him only
dawn with a glowing radiance In
heaven.
There was genuine sadness in Rome
when the news went forth, and his as
sociates at the city hall were grieved to
know that he had gone before. The city
hall was draped in mourning out of re
spect to his memory.
His children were all present, the
absent ones having been sent for, Capt.
Qainn leaves a wife and the following
children, Thos. Qpinn of Rome, Ed
ward Quinn, Birmingham, Mrs. J. B.
Winslow, of Greensville, Ga., Mrs. A.
B. Mo Ar ver and Miss Florence Quinn
Os Rome.
History of His Life.
Thomas M. Quinn was born in
Grenada, Miss., Nov. 9tb, 1820. He
comes of distinguished lineage, his
mother being a member of the Sth
tain family, of Wilkes county, Geor
gia. Hie father, William QQinn. lived
in Rome many years and one of
nature’s noblemen. "
Thomas Quinn came to Rome about
1850, and was among the first conduc
tors on the Rome railroad, securing
the place shortly after coming to
Rome. He held the place for some
years, with the greatest credit, and
was extremely popular.
In the yeai 1851 he was married to
Miss Mary Smith, of this city, and
the daughter of Mr. 'John Smith, for
years a supervisor of the Rome Rail
road.
In 1858 or 1859 he entered the race
for marshal of Rome against Sam
Stewart. The contest was one of the
most heated in the history of the city,
both men being very popular,
and. with strong following. Mr.
Qainn was elected by a majority of
nineteen. During his marshalship
he gave perfect satisfaction, and
made the city a model officer.
He then embarked in the wholesale
grocery business, the firm being
Payne, Quinn & Hendricks. When
the war broke out they sold the en
tire stock at cost.
Capt. Quinn joined Phillips’ Legion
and served bravely throughout the
struggle. His war record, as is his
whole life, is clean and without blem
ish.
At the close of the war he returned
to Rome, and in 1877 was electod sher
iff of, Floyd county. He held this
place two years.
For the past four years he has been
the city treasurer, a post which he filled
with ability up to bis last illness.
Though near 77 years of age at the
time of his death, and for some
io bad health, his strong and wonder
fully clear intellect never failed him.
He was universally liked and it is
doubtful if there ever lived a man,
worn an or child who knew him. per
sonally that did not admire and re
