"Amos Quein, a pioneer of Gage county, died suddenly Sunday night at 10 o'clock at his home, 417 North Eighth street, of acute indigestion after an illness of about half an hour. He appeared to be in his usual health before he was seized with the fatal attack, and the news of his death came as a shock to his many friends in Beatrice yesterday.
Mr. Quein was born in 1844 in Lancaster county, Pa. (incorrect 4th Dist. Cecil Co. Maryland. jht) He was a Civil War veteran, having served in Company K, Seventh Pennsylvania cavalry. He received two wounds in the Battle of Selma, Alabama, in 1865. He was married in Ohio in 1868 to Miss Elizabeth K. White.
Mr. Quein settled on a homestead in Gage county in 1877, near where the town of Odell now stands. He engaged in farming until 1885 when he moved to Odell and opened a hotel, which he operated for fifteen years. In 1888 he built a new hotel, which is still in use today. {Note: two returning guests included John William "Blind Boone" Boone, and William "Buffalo Bill" Cody (jht)} While at Odell he was employed as an auctioneer much of the time, and also held a position on the road as traveling salesman for the Wrought Iron company of St. Louis.
Mr. Quein and family came to Beatrice in 1896 where they have since resided. He was a member of the Masonic order, and served as steward at the feeble minded institute during Dr. W.M. Thomas' term as superintendent.
The deceased is survived by his widow, one son, J. R. Quein, and one daughter, Mrs. Floretta Beeson. He is also survived by a brother, John Wanamaker Quein, and a sister, Mrs. George W. Biles of Providence, Md. The community joins in extending sympathies to the grief-stricken family in their bereavement.
As yet no funeral arrangements have been made."
"Quein, Amos A. Born in the 4th District, Cecil County. Served in the 7th Penna. Cavalry. Brother of Mrs. George W. Biles. Died 5-10-1914, age 70, at Beatrice, Nebraska." (from Cecil County News 6-3-1914)
"Funeral services for the late Amos Quein will be held this afternoon. Preceding the public services in Centenary M. E. Church at 2:30 a brief service will be held at the home in charge of the Civil War veterans. Members from the local G. A. R. post will act as pallbearers from the home to the church, where the sermon will be given by Rev. B. F. Gaither, and interment will be in Evergreen Home cemetery."
