Unknown Publication, October 1936 The entire community was shocked when the sad news of the death of Quentin Porter, at the Wallace Memorial Hospital in Lebanon last Friday night was announced. Quentin, on Tuesday, September 29th, took ill, the nature of his illness being something like tonsillitis. After a day or so he was compelled to take his bed and the trouble continued to grow more aggravating. During the balance of the week he experienced two and three hard chills a day and his temperature ran very high. Saturday night following he was taken to the Wallace Hospital for special treatment, but in spite of all that could be done his condition continued to grow more alarming. The nature of his illness was somewhat baffling to the doctors in attendance, however, they finally thought it might be typhoid. To make the case more critical, he contracted pneumonia Friday evening about 6 o'clock and lived only about three hours. His wife and parents, Mr. and Mrs. Roy F. Porter, and his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Martin, were at his bedside when the end came. The body was brought back to Iberia Friday night and Sunday afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock, impressive funeral services, conducted by Dr. G. Byron Smith, were held from the Congregational Church in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends. The song service was conducted by a quartet, consisting of the following young men who had been associates of Quentin's: Berry Livingston, Wes Condra, Spurgeon Atwell and Russell Mobley. Interment was made in the Iberia Cemetery under direction of Adams & Casey, local undertakers. Quintin Balfred Porter, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy F. Porter was born near Hancock, Missouri on April 28, 1907. Quentin passed away at the Wallace Memorial Hospital I Lebanon Friday evening, October 9th 1936, being 29 years, 5 months and 5 days of age. When about five years old his parents moved to Iberia, where he attended the public grade school and the Iberia Academy. On the seventh of September, 1929, he was married to Elsie Hix of near Ulman, Missouri.
