OBITUARY

William John McQuie, son of Peter and Isa Belle McCulloch McQuie, entered this life March 19, 1860 on a farmstead near Oneida, Knox county, Illinois.

At the age of 11 years he accompanied his parents to the farm, in Penn township, Madison county, known for 65 years as the McQuie home.

Here he secured the training that fitted him for usefulness through the years allotted to him.

Always of a quiet, retiring nature he counted his most loyal friends among those who knew him best.

Every charitable deed was done without the thought of reward, not for the praises of men but in the honor of Christ, whom he sought to serve following his good confession in 1876.

Failing in health in 1908, he went to Colorado to make his home, finding there a more congenial climate. He passed away in the hospital at Fort Morgan, March 5th, 1936 at the age of 76.

Of his immediate family left to mourn his departure are three sisters—Mrs. George Junkin, of Dexter, and Misses Margaret and Jennie McQuie on the old homestead near Earlham.

There are numerous nephews and nieces together with many more distant relatives who will honor his memory as they recall his life quietly lived among them.
