age of 93 years. He came to South Australia 63 years ago. and the whole of his life was spent either in Adelaide or its
immediate vicinity. He was first a mason, but subsequently took up land in the [Payneham district, where he established a

through rough times and tiiumphed, and one whose word was his bond, and he was universally respected. He left a grown-up

Mr Thomas Quinn, who died suddenly at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. T. Gaffney, at Edillilie, was in his 85th year. Mr Quinn was born at Newcastle, County Limerick, Ireland, on September 15th, 1842, and came to South Australia with his parents in the Bosephaus in 1855. The family lived for a time on the bank of the Torrens. Mr Quinn early in life struck out for himself, and was engaged in carting copper from Burra to Port Adelaide with bullock drays. He also carted wool from Pekina. and other stations to Port Augusta. In October, 1876, he was married to Miss Mary McDonald, at Marrabel. He went to Appila-Yarcowie, and then to Gordon. He made other changes, and eventually took up land at Cowell. When the Hundred of Mortlock was allotted Mr. Quinn selected land and went on his block with his sons early in 1906. At that time there was no railway, and all possessions had to be carted over hills and bad roads from Port Lincoln. Mr. Quinn met with many adversities, as during wet seasons poor crops prevailed, and only a few bushels per acre were reaped. He saw the district change, from a wilderness to a. prospering community. When his sons took up land six or seven years ago Mr Quinn retired from active life. Mrs. Quinn died in 1912. Three sons and four daughters survive. They are Mesdames Turner (Adelaide), Martin (Port Lincoln).Gaffney (Edillilie), Kelly (Adelaide), and Messrs. Archie Quinn and Bartley Quinn (Cungena), and Angus Quinn (Edillilie). There are 21 grandchildren.
