    DR. W. E. QUIN, of Fort Payne, De Kalb county, Ala., was born
April 21, 1851, in that part of Chickasaw county now embraced within the
territory of Clay county, Miss. After a good preparation in the schools of
Chickasaw county, he attended the Mississippi college at Clinton, Miss., which
institution he left in June, 1874, to teach school one session at Trenton, La.
Returning to his home in Chickasaw county, he commenced the study of medicine,
and in 1875-76 attended the medical college at Louisville, Ky., but withdrew
without graduating, and formed a partnership with Dr. F. N. Arnold, at Walthall,
Miss., with whom he practiced from May, 1877, until 1880. In 1881 he went to the
Kentucky school of Medicine, at Louisville, from which he graduated in June of
the same year. In 1882 he settled in De Kalb county, Ala., and engaged in
merchandising and practicing, as his health permitted; but in November, 1885, he
relinquished the mercantile business and devoted himself entirely to the
practice of medicine until March, 1889, when he added a drug store to his
practice at Fort Payne, where he stands in the front ranks as a physician and as
a druggist. The doctor is a member of the De Kalb Medical society, and of the
State Medical association. He has served as president of the former, and is now
serving his second term as secretary, and has also served several times as
delegate to the meetings of the State Medical association. The doctor was
married in October, 1883, to Miss Marie J., daughter of Joe J. Nix, of Fort
Payne, and this union has been blessed with the birth of four children, viz.:
Hugh L.; William E.; Joe J., and Margaret C. The father of the doctor is William
S. Quin, and his mother bore the maiden name of Margaret G. Moore, and both are
descended from families of the highest respectability. Dr. Quin was elected, on
the 1st day of March, 1893, mayor of Fort Payne.
