Quigley, Cornelius F., came to this county when eight years old and has
dwelt here continuously since. He now occupies a fine stock farm of one
hundred and sixty acres on section 14, Greenfield. For three years he
owned and tilled a farm in Watopa, and then settled on his present
location. He received a fair common-school education during the winter
intervals of farm work, and is an intelligent and progressive citizen. In
1879 and 1880 he was elected a member of the town board. Like his brother,
above sketched (Michael H. Quigley), he works in the interests of the
democratic party in political contests. In August, 1870, he was united in
marriage to Miss Ellen, daughter of Timothy Enright, one of the pioneers
of this township. Mrs. Quigley was born at Norwich, New York, in 1850.
They have lost four children, Edward, William and Neal dying with
diphtheria in June, 1881, and Kitty died at two years of age. The living
ones are christened Michael, John, Julia, Irene and Cornelius.
