General Notes: Husband - Eugene Quinn

---

He was educated in the schools of his home township and grew up on the home farm, assisting his father with the work there until he married and started out on his own account. Then in November, 1865, he came to Oil City, Venango County, where there was plenty of work teaming before the pipe lines came into general use as a means of transporting the oil, his pay for hauling a barrel of oil from Cherry Run to the mouth of Oil Creek being two dollars. He continued teaming until 1867, when he embarked in the dairy business in Oil City, his first location being at the corner of Harriot and Washing­ton avenues, where he built a dwelling and a barn for his cows, having as many as forty-five head at a time after his trade was built up. Remaining there until 1881, he then bought a property at No. 202 East Bissell Avenue, in the Seventh ward, originally comprising fifty acres, of which over time he sold considerable, retaining about thirty acres. He carried on the dairy business ever since he first entered that line, at his later place keeping from twenty to thirty cows in former years, later about a dozen, and he also did general farming and trucking, combining his various operations very profitably. In the earlier days he had several valuable oil productions, but eventually sold most of his holdings; he leased eight acres to other operators who were producing thereon. Even in his seventy-ninth year Mr. Quinn was in active charge of his several interests and looking after them as capably as ever. Politically he was a Democrat, in religion a Catholic, holding membership in St. Joseph's Church at Oil City. [HVC 1919, 998]
