Obit of Robert John Quick
     The name of "Robert Quick" has been synonymous with Mineral Point history
for over 140 years.
     Robert Quick ca. 1826-1877 came to Mineral Point from England about 1849
with his first wife, Elizabeth.  They had no children of their own, but had
raised three orphaned children (their nieces and nephew), Elizabeth J. and
Walter Oke, and Cora E Prisk.     (Have copy of Cora's marr. in R.Quick file)
     When his first wife died at only 48 years old, leaving Robert with very
young children he married Mariette Austin of Chagrin Falls, Ohio in 1871.  They
had three children of their own: Robert Henry, Florence (Mrs Gus Torgeson) and
Thomas Samuel.
     Robert died in 1877, leaving Mariette with the three small babies.  She
married Henry Roether in  1884 who helped raise her children.  They had one
child, Leonard, who died at age 4.

This is part of an obit for Robert John Quick who was a son of Robert Henry
Quick written by Edie Davis-Mooney from Fort Worth, Texas and published in a
newspaper in Mineral Point.  Copied by Robin Bobeck and a copy was sent to me.

Obit: Deaths:  Since the Tribune's appearance last week, Mrs Robert Quick, one
of the most esteemed farmers of the town of Mineral Point, has departed for the
"shining shore".

Marriage for Cora E. Prisk who was named in Robert Quick's obit as being his
Niece and raised by him and Elizabeth his first wife.
