County Clerk John W. Quinn passed away at his home on South Main Street Sunday evening at 6:20 o'clock. He was unconscious several hours before death and remained so till the end came. His wife and two sons were at his bed side, while the daughter was seriously ill in another room of the home. His recovery became doubtful some time ago when after an apparant gain, he relapsed.

Mr. Quinn was born in Glascow, Scotland, December 25, 1871. He came to the United States with his mother and a younger sister, when he was nine years of age. Shortly after his mother died and a little later he was adopted by Mr. and Mrs.

A. G. Smith of Elyria, and was always recognized as a son. He attended the public schools and took a business course at the Lawrence Business College. He always took an active part in the social and civic life of his community, and was recognized as a leading citizen of Elyria.

In 1893 he married Miss Gertrude Griggs of Meadville Pa. and made his home on a farm near Elyria until elected County Clerk in 1912 when he moved to this city purchasing property on S. Main St. and built a handsome residence at the corner of Main and Bishop Streets. Mr.

Quinn made an excellent public official and was re-elected county clerk at the November election. Funeral services were held at the Baptist Church of which he was a member; Tuesday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, Rev. W. G. Carey his er pastor, preaching the funeral sermon.

The body was in charge of the Masons and the Eastern Star, who conducted the ceremonies at the grave. The church was crowded with friends and acquaintances, and the floral offerings were profuse. His age was 42 years, 10 months and 20 days. Death was caused by a cancerous affectation of the bowels and baffled medical skill. The deceased belonged to the Masonic Order where he had won a high rank, and also the Order of Elks.

He was active in the political affairs and in all matters for the improvement of the community and helping his fellowmen. He leaves a widow and three children. These are Grace, Arthur and Lawrence all at home, besides an aged foster father and mother and a sister. These have the sympathy of all. Here Is Your Chance, Boys.

BIG REVIVAL OPENS Tabernacle Filled To Its Limit The initial meeting of the Union Services was held in the Tabernacle last Sunday night with the building packed full and a number were turned away. Alter these weeks of preparation and careful planning, the time had actually come for the first great service. And it was a stirring meeting. People were gathering long before the announced time.

The chorus of 150 voices with the orchestre of several pieces filled the platform until the ministers had scarcely room to get a seat. Prof. George Moody was on hands early organizing his choir. Finally there was a hush in the great chorus. Mr.

Moody led in a prayer for all the musicians. Then he lifted his baton and the chorus arose, and there fell upon the great audience the first strains of the music which sent a thrill over all. Those who had spent so much time and thought and prayed on this great movement were filled with gratitude that at last the moment had come. The music was inspiring. Prof.

Moody knows how to direct a chorus and the singers and players all responded to him. Occasionally he would take up his trombone and strengthen some part. His solos both vocal and on the trombone were received with enthusiasm and appreciation. After a number of selections by the orchestra and chorus, Rev. T.

J. Giblette introduced the members of the party: Prof. Moody and his wife; Mr. W. W.

La Violette, pianist and secretary to the Evangelist; Rev. Ullom assistant who has just joined the party here; and the Rev. Oscar the leader in charge. Mr. Lowry then took charge of the meeting and in a few words outlined the plan of the campaign.

The expenses of the campaign are met by the freewill offerings taken each evening of the meeting. These offerings are used entirely for the expenses. No I renumeration i is promised the Evangelist. On the last day of the meeting there will be an offering for him. Rev.

Lowry preached his first sermon on "Judgment beginning at the House of God." It was soon seen that he believes in the old fashioned Gospel. He is plain, practical and intensely in earnest. He attracts attention at once and holds that attention to the end. After the sermon Prof. Moody sang "A little Bit of Love," and the meeting was closed.

From the very start the meetings are well attended and the interest good. There are after-meetings each night for the purpose of instructing the personal workers. Mr. Lowry gives some very helpful Bible teachings along this line and expects people to get out and work in the meeting. Prayer- meetings are being held in the various districts of the city.

The work is splendidly organized and every thing points to a successful meeting. People are coming from the country around and delegations are being formed to come in a body and sit together. Every body in the county seems to know about the cam paign and are taking it in. Mrs. A.
