husband, William Barlow, a
former southern Oregon resi
dent now on duty with the
U.S. Army as a draftsman and
clerk.
The Quinns were married
August 17, 1911, in Alma,
Neb. They lived near Bloom
ington, Neb. until 1924, where
he farmed a 320 acre ranch
which had belonged to his
forefathers. Their . daughter,
Leola, (Mrs. Whitlock) was
born in the same farm house
which was the birthplace of
her father. After his retire
ment as a rancher in 1924, the
Quinns and their daughter
went, to San Diego," Calif.,
where Mr. Quinn owned a ser
vice station and garage until
12 years ago.
In 1946 they moved to
southern Oregon and since
that time ha've owned the
Casa Rogue motel located on
the banks of the Rogue River
north of Gold Hill on Pacific
Highway 99. Mrs. Quinn's
hobby is caring for his flow
ers and lawn, and Mrs. Quinn
spends her leisure hours cro
cheting. She is an active mem
ber of Amethyst Rebekah
lodge, Amethyst Rebekah
Friendship club and Gold Hill
Health unit. She is vice-president
of the Friendship club
and a charter member of. the
organization.
The Quinns, who bought a
new car on their anniversary,
spoke of the great difference
between the old and the mod
ern cars. When Mr. Quinn
wanted to buy a car in 1911,
there was no dealer in his
home town, or anywhere near.
One week prior to his mar
riage he treveled to' Omaha,
a distance of 200 miles from
Bloomington, where he pur
chased a black Maxwell road
ster with brass trim and car
bide headlights. It was the
first and only car in Bloom
ington and the Qumns were
exceedingly proud, he recall
ed, particularly of the carbide
lamps which had to be light
ed with matches.
