M.D. Our very popular and genial friend Dr. Quin has been removed from amongst us to that realm of bliss, "where the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest". He died at a ripe old age in full possession of his mental faculties and in full confidence of salvation through the blood of his Redeemer. 50 years ago, Dr. Quin, as a physician, was the family attendant of the elite of Nenagh. He was most skilful as a medical man and equally successful in the management of difficult cases that puzzled older members of the faculty.

But the seed of consumption already sown, soon after forced him to abandon those brilliant prospects, and returning to Ireland in 1873, he at last sunk a victim to his insidious disease on Wednesday last. His remains were brought down from Dublin on Saturday and interred in his family burial ground at Kilkeary.
