"MRS ELIZABETH QUEIN PASSES AWAY IN CITY
Mrs. Elizabeth Quein, an old resident of Beatrice, passed away last evening at the home of her daughter, Mrs. O. L. Beeson at the corner of Seventh and High streets, aged seventy-eight years.
The deceased had been sick since last March and gradually failed until the end came. Her husband, Amos Quein, died in this city three years ago in May. She is survived by two children, John R. Quein and Mrs. O. L. Beeson of this city, and a brother, Alvin White of Fairbury.
Mr. and Mrs. Quein located at Odell in an early day and for years operated the hotel there. They later came to Beatrice to make their home.
Announcement for the funeral will be made later."
"MRS. ELIZABETH QUEIN
Elizabeth King White was born near Penningtonville, Penn., January 17, 1840, and died in Beatrice, Nebraska, August 23, 1917, being 77 years, 7 months and 5 days old at the time of her death.
When but a small girl she moved with her parents to Pennsville, O., where she grew to womanhood. There she met and was married to Amos Quein, March 25, 1868. Her husband passed away three years ago. Mrs. Quein is survived by one brother, Alvin White, who resides at Fairbury, Neb., and two children, Mrs. O. L. Beeson and John R. Quein of Beatrice.
Mrs. Quein and her husband were pioneers in Nebraska, coming to Gage county from Ohio in 1877, and locating on a homestead on which the town of Odell was later built. For many years they operated the Quein hotel of that place and in 1896 they moved to Beatrice, which had been their home until their deaths.
Mrs. Quein was of Quaker extraction and true to that faith she was quiet and reserved in her religious life and experience. In 1886 she transferred her membership to the Methodist church in Odell, later uniting with the Centenary church of this city. The faith of her life was sufficient for her every need and trial.
Being a pioneer she knew well the struggles and privations of that sort of life. When it became necessary in the hard days for her husband to seek employment elsewhere, she took care of the homestead and helped to provide the living for the small family. She had the instinct for friendship, the quality of enabling those who met her to come to appreciate her worth and even to love her for the sterling qualities of mind and heart.
She was one who thought little of herself, but always and very naturally of the comfort and welfare of others. Part of her religion was to make other folks happy and contented. She had the power of effacing herself to the very last measure.
Very few knew of the heartaches that were hers, of the struggles, of her high hopes and of her many achievements. She lived so quietly and so unobstrusively (sic) that she was in danger of being overlooked.
But she was well known and highly appreciated and deeply loved by a large circle of friends and kinfolk. They rise up and speak now of her praise.
So quietly she lived, and quietly slipped away. After long weeks of confinement to her bed, with the sweet qualities of her mother-heart blossoming fresh and strong each day she slipped away into the "undiscovered country," leaving behind an imperishable legacy for her children and her friends the beauty and the strength of a godly life.
Funeral services were held yesterday morning at 10 o'clock from Centenary M. E. church, conducted by Dr. Cissell. There was a large attendance of neighbors and friends, and the beautiful floral offerings sent to the home of the daughter, Mrs. O. L. Beeson, bore evidence of the esteem in which the deceased was held in the community. The music was furnished by V. R. Johnson and I. W. Kenagy. The remains were laid to rest beside her husband in Evergreen Home cemetery. The following acted as pall bearers: Messrs. J. T. Harden, W. A. Ransdell, A. H. Kidd, O. W. Beckwith, E. G. Drake and Wallace Robertson."
