HUGH S. QUICK.

   Hugh S. Quick, who has been actively identified with educational interests of
Bartholomew county, becoming well known as a successful teacher, was born in
this county on the 28th of January, 1851, his parents being M. J. and Isabelle
(Hoskinson) Quick. The father, whose birth occurred on his old homestead in
Bartholomew county, is still living near Columbus, having reached the venerable
age of seventy-seven years. In his boyhood home the subject of this review spent
his childhood days. Having attended the common schools, he later supplemented
his early privileges by study in more advanced institutions. He was a student in
the State Normal School at Terre Haute, and in Franklin College. For nine years
he successfully followed teaching in this and Shelby counties. As a teacher his
explanations were clear and concise, imparting readily to others the knowledge
that he had acquired. He was also engaged in bookkeeping for seven years in
Columbus. He is now identified with mercantile interests, having been,
proprietor of a store at Jonesville for nine years. He enjoys a lucrative
patronage and has met with prosperity, the public quickly recognizing his
honorable methods.

   In 1885 Mr. Quick was united in marriage to Miss Elo Prather, daughter of
Reason W. and Martha (Smith)) Prather. Her father was well known in this county
as a stock raiser, having carried on general farming and stock growing for many
years. Prosperity came as the direct result of his labors and he became one of
the heavy tax payers of the county, owning eight hundred acres of rich and
productive land. In his family were seven children: Henry, Herman, Phonso,
Elizabeth, Alma, Ruth and Elo.

   The home of Mr: and Mrs. Quick has been blessed with seven children: Phonso,
Effie, Mary, Leota, Elsie, deceased, Rachel and Alma. Both Mr. and Mrs. Quick
are favorably known where they reside and the circle of their friends is
extensive. Theirs is a hospitable home, its comforts being greatly enjoyed by
those who know them.

In his political views Mr. Quick is a Republican and for several years he has
served as postmaster at Jonesville, a position he still retains. He is also a
member of the Baptist church and is active in everything pertaining to public
progress and improvement along material, social, intellectual and moral lines.
