OBITUARY ---------------Death of Judge Quinn
Palo Alto Live Oak
Feb 10, 1899
The funeral of Judge John L. Quinn
was held at the family residence, on
Forest avenue, at 1:30 yesterday afternoon
and the interment was in Union cemetery at
Redwood City, under the auspices
of the G. A. R. of which he
was an honored member.
Judge Quinn was seventy-five years
old and had been in failing health for
several years past so that an attack of
la grippe was followed by death after a few
days sickness.
Deceased was born in Ireland and
came to California in 1867, since which
time he has lived at Pescadero and
Mayfield, thus being one of the early
pioneers of this section, and was able
to give most interesting account of
the development of this peninsula.
At the expiration of his term of office as
justice of the peace he removed from
Mayfield to Palo Alto, where he built
a hansome residence about three
years ago.
He leaves a widow and a family of
grown children, several of whom are
married. His daughter Elizabeth,
wife of Prof. Maxwell Adams of the
Chico State Normal School, came down
to attend the funeral.
