   JAMES H. QUILLIN, one of six surviving children in a family of thirteen, was
born in Greene County, Ind., in the year 1843, and is a son of William and Nancy
(Stone) Quillin, natives respectively of Kentucky and Indiana. He aided his
parents on the home farm until seventeen years old, and in May, 1861, enlisted
in Company D, Fourteenth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, in which he served as
private until March 23, 1862, when he became disabled by a gunshot wound through
his leg. He was discharged by reason of disability, but in September, 1863,
after recovery, he re-enlisted, becoming a member of Battery C, Second Indiana
Artillery. In this he served until the war was virtually ended, but for six
months after its close was detained on garrison duty at Fort Morgan, in Alabama.
Mr. Quillin saw much hard service during the late war, and was a participant in
the battle of Winchester, siege of the Spanish Fort, and the capture of Mobile.
He was wedded to Miss J. Waggoner, in 1868, who died in June, 1873, leaving four
children—Samuel, Rachel, Nancy and Noah V. In 1875, he married his present wife,
and they are among the first families, of Washington Township. For the past two
and one-half years, Mr. Quillin has conducted a successful drug trade at Lyons.
His stock is carefully selected, and in value amounts to about $2,000. He is a
member of the I. O. O. F., and in politics a Democrat from principle, the
remainder of his family being Republicans.
