Mrs. Quinn was a devout member of the Catholic church and a member of the Catholic Daughters of America. She was a devoted wife, and built up the host of friends, both in Le Mars and her other homes, with her pleasing personality and congenial manners.

She leaves to mourn her passing her husband; her father and mother; six brothers, Jake and Frank of Sibley, Nick of Mason City, Louis of Le Mars, Alfred of Burchard, and Matt of Pomona, Calif.; and four sisters, Mrs. Mary Fye of Oakland, Cal., Mrs. F.
