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.
