DEATH BLOTS OUT YOUNG MAN'S BRILLIANT FUTURE
The community was sadly shocked Thursday to hear of the death of Ell Dee Quinn, formerly a teacher in the public schools here. Mr. Quinn died very suddenly at his home in Cutler, Indiana, when it was supposed that he was recovering nicely from a long illness. Hemorrhage of the brain was the direct cause of his death. He died Wednesday night. All day Wednesday he felt remarkably well and remarked upon it to his wife while they were visiting at the home of his sister, Mrs. Audrey Bonebrake. That evening he became drowsy and soon after retiring complained of a severe pain in the head. He became unconscious and died shortly after a physician arrived.
Ell Dee Quinn was the son of Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Quinn of Cutler. He was thirty years old. He was united in marriage to Miss Allie Compton a few years ago and was a devoted husband. During the term 1910-1911, he taught the eighth grade in the local schools. He was a brilliant scholar, having graduated from Indiana University, and was a kindly and competent teacher. He attended McCormick Theological Seminary last year and prepared himself for the ministry but was obliged to give up a pastorate at Kelly, Wisconsin because of ill health. Besides the wife and parents, Mr. Quinn is survived by two sisters: Mrs. Rua Cripe of Gas City, and Mrs. Audrey Bonebrake of Cutler; five brothers: Dallas, Orth, Blanchard, and Every of Cutler, and Dr. Claude of Denver, Indiana. The funeral was held Saturday with the Reverend J.K. Bliss officiating.

RESOLUTIONS OF SYMPATHY
A committee appointed by the worshipful master of Wild Cat Lodge No. 311, F. & A.M., report the following as an expression of sympathy and condolence on the occasion of the death of Brother Ell Dee Quinn.
Whereas, it has pleased almighty God to remove from us our worthy and beloved brother, Ell Dee Quinn, whose death occurred August 21, 1912, we feel we have indeed suffered a great loss. Few Masons have lived whose every thoughts, actions and expressions were more emblematic of the tenets of our order. He united courage, wisdom and prudence and by them he possessed firmness and virtue to maintain what is considered the most enviable of all titles--the character of an honest man, a true Christian and worthy Mason. in the early day he accepted the promises of God, to take man with all his debts into the firm, making him a co-worker. All this is on one condition, that he enter the work and make it his one aim, his chief purpose to forward the enterprise which God has in hand. These enterprises are the highest and noblest known to man, the upbuilding of character and righteousness, the bringing of the divine kingdom of peace and good will toward all. These fundamental principles were written in the ledger of life and is the most important volume in his library. While we mourn his loss we are willing to say, "Thy will, not ours, be done." We commit him to God, the master, with Jesus for his king, angels for his guards and saints for his citizens, to that city whose walls are salvation and whose gates are paradise. Therefore, be it
Resolved, we jointly mourn with his bereaved wife in the loss of her companion--a true and devoted husband--no higher eulogy can be pronounced on any man. truly the great central sun of her household has gone down, and we most sincerely, deeply sympathize with her in her affliction, and cannot but hope that the heartfelt sympathy of this lodge will not be deemed in intrusion on her grief.
Resolved, further that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the records of the lodge, a copy sent to his bereaved wife and a copy to a county paper for publication. Committee: S.I. Downey and N.W. Plank
