James (Jim)
Waldroup Quinton
James (Jim) Waldroup Quinton, of
Talking Rock, passed away peacefully on
the morning of December 28, 2021. Jim
was bom March 29 1929 in Marble Hill
and was the oldest of six children bom to
Jess and Kate Quinton. Jim was saved
when he was 14 years old
on a Saturday night in
Talking Rock Baptist
Church. He was a faithful
member of the church
and had strong faith that
was very evident in his
life. He left home when
he was 20 and moved to
Atlanta to find work. After several jobs he
began working at Westinghouse and devel
oped some friendships that continued
throughout his life.
When Westinghouse closed, Jim went
to work for ArtSteel and became very well
known in the steel industry around Atlanta.
After several years, he had the opportunity
to go into partnership and own his own
business - Northwest Iron. He continued
with this business until he retired.
Not long after moving to Atlanta, Jim
met the love of his life, Annette, on a blind
date. They married when he was 19 and
she was 17. They celebrated 70 wonderful
years together before her passing in
January of 2020. Their marriage was truly
a love story that was evident to everyone
who knew them. They had three children
Mike, Fynn and Debbie. They raised their
family in Decatur and after Jim retired,
they moved to Talking Rock and built a
home they both dearly loved. After three
months he saw retirement was not for him
so he began working as a bailiff part time
at Pickens County Courthouse and enjoyed
working there until 2016.
In 1952 Jim was honored to become a
Free Mason. He wore his Masonic ring
with pride. In October of 2021 he received
his 70th year apron. He always enjoyed
coaching incoming Masons at the Pickens
County Fodge.
He was predeceased by his wife,
Annette Powell Quinton; parents, Jesse

blessed and I’m glad he’s getting to see that.”
Pirkle said that, in his 85 years in the county, he’s
seen it change extensively from the little moonshine
running town that it was to the Dawson County that it
is today.
“This little county is one-of-a-kind; it had kind of a
crazy reputation but it had good people in it and
they’re all still good people,” Pirkle said.
Pirkle celebrated his birthday surrounded by his
family and loved ones, and said that he had a great
celebration. He added that the number 85 may sound
like an old milestone, but that he feels just as good as
ever.
“I feel fine, I feel good; but 85 just sounds old,”
Pirkle said.
Garrett said that her father always says how blessed
he is, but that she and the rest of those close to him are
the ones who are really blessed to be in his life.
“We’re blessed; he always says he’s the most
blessed man in the whole universe but we’re the ones
who are blessed because we have him,” Garrett said.
