was ill. Mr. QUICK was well and favorably known in this place and
vicinity, as he had resided at the foot of the hill (on the west) for about
forty years, coming there in 1879 or 1880. Your correspondent and
family lived on the top of the hill during all that time; and we felt rather
lonesome when Mr. and Mrs. QUICK sold out and went to Binghamton in 1920.
The family have our heartfelt sympathy in their bereavement.
