In my last Memory of March
I slated that mv next Memory
would be a reprint of an article
about Dr. Henry, Quigg of West
Newton written for me by Mrs.
Pauline Martin McCain of De
catur on February 18. 1953. It
follows:
“Dr. Henr.' Quigg was born
in Ireland, but his people had
really come from Scotland, as
most of our ancestors had done.
The record I have of him says
that he left Ireland when a
youth and sailed as an emigrant
to Quebec, Canada, where he
was Principal of Saint Andrews
Institute for two years. He was a
cousin of nsv grandfather. Dr. R.
C. Grier, who was President of
Erskine College, Due West,
South Carolina, and who invited
him to come souti and finish his
education at Erskine College, So
he did come to Erskine in 1851
and he graduated there in 1853,
and then studied Theology at the
Seminary there and graduated
from it in 1854. That year he
married mv grandmother Grier’s
sister, Elizabeth Moffett of
Chester, South Carolina. He then
came to Hope Well in Newton
County, Georgia that year. His
wife died in 1855 at the birth
of her only child, Lizzie as she
was called. She lived to be a
young lady and I was named for
her, for I have been called Liz
zie Pauline Martin. Both the
Mother and daughter are buried
in the Hopewell Cemetery. The
two tall monuments there mark
ing their graves. Dr. Quigg mar
ried Sarah CVaig in 1857, and ■
they had several children. He I
was Pastor of Hopewell until
1867. He had left there before I
was born. You remember the
ptace which was his home—the
place where The Hardeman fam- I
ily lived; Mr. Otis and his broth
er. The home where the long
row of cedars were. (The Liv
ington Consolidated School was
built just across the highway
from the old Quigg home— J. O.

been pastor there long for he i
lived in Conyers from the time 1
I remember him, and the rec-1

told me that at least 75 per cent
of the members of the local
churches, Hopewell, Bethany,
Prospect and Zion had daily
prayer in their homes and that
there had rot been a case, white
or colored in court from any of
those churbh communities dur

WORDS TO REMEMBER
History is a strange exper
j ience. The world is quite small
now: but history is large and
I deep. Sometimes you can go
much farther by sitting in your
own home and reading a book,
than by getting onto a ship or an j
lairplane and traveling a thou
-1 sand miles.
—Gilbert Heighet.

ON THE SHELVES
This week Mrs. lola Dietz, our
capable Newton County Librar
ian, is reveiewing the book, “SO
LONG AS LOVE REMEMBERS,"
by Russell Janney.
I This is the story of Dr. Stanis
laus Joseph Halka. graduate of
I the University of Vienna, better
known in Broadway nightculb
i circles as “Mr. Tightpants Hal
!?’" When he first came to Amer-
I ica as accompanist for the violin-1
ist Reimalsky, his neighbors and
friends who loved him presented
him with the first of his tightfit
ting black broadcloth pants and
, frocktail coat—their idea of the
I proper attire for the budding
young pianist.
I It is also the story of*Olga
' Lesenka who loved him and
wrote the song “So Long as Love
Remembers" for wh ; ch she hoped
he would compose the music. It
is the story of a statue, the'
“M;donna with the Sword," that
is in a museum“o\ e.looking the
Hudson river. There is a legend
i abuot th s statue which plays!
strange part in the lives of Olga
land Tightpants. The girl is very
I like the statue. Is there a tie
between her r" 1 the twelfth ccn
i tury maden who was known to bo
j medieval sculptors model? Some
very remarkable, or supernatur
al, occurrences suggest that the
I statue and those somehow con-
I nected with it— Hugh de St.
। Omer. Knight Templar end Kom-"
modore Hugo Fredrick Von Stein
berg of modern times — arc
greatly concerned in the fate of
Olga and her husband.
There are unforgettable scenes
and heartwarming characters.
There are a Christmas Eve party
and a wedding feast, the wonder
ful enduring friendship of loyal
Hans Beuter, Yorkville baker,
and father Joe, a simple elderly
priest of Wilkes-Barre, who had
first encouraged Ogla to cultivate
her voice. There is the tender
parting scene of Olga and her
husband. Theres the great scene
of heroism near the close where
gentle Tightpants prevents a
■ panic at the Horse and Buggy
nightclub.
I - This as a stirring story, a story
io be remembered of a man and
a woman, a song, and a statue —
“So long as love remembers, love
is stronger than death."
