He was united in marriage to Anna Goodrich on Feb. 19, 1893. To this union were born three children two sons and one daughter. Lloyd and Cecil of Woodburn. Iowa, and Mrs. Lela Lamb of Swan, Iowa.

Quick some 45 years ago and he united with the Christian Union Church at Bethel, where he remained ever faithful. His entire life was spent on the same farm and in the same neighborhood where he was born. His home has always been an open door to those passing by, and many have been tenderly cared for therein.
He has been very patient and thoughtful of those who administered to and lovingly cared for him during his illness. Although he had been in falling health for several months he had only been confined to his bed but a few days. And his sudden death came as a great shock to his loved ones, neighbors and friends.
In his going the wife has lost a devoted companion, the children and grandchildren a loving father and grandfather and the community a good neighbor and friend.
