    3. Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State January 11-1892 A Long Death Record. The Rev. Timothy H. QUIGLEY, a retired Presbyterian minister, died at his home on Prospect avenue at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the 74th year of his age. On New Year's Day he preached the sermon at the funeral of John C. SCHWAB at Stafford, the interment being at East Bethany, and it is thought that the exposure at that time laid the foundation for the maladies that caused his death. He was confined to his bed only about three days, however, and died very suddenly. Heart disease, and the grip are ascribed as the causes of death. He leaves a widow and one son, Prof. L.J. QUIGLEY, who is in Kentucky and who was formerly Professor of Music at the State Institution for the Blind. The deceased was born in Northampton, Mass., and had lived in Western New York for a great many years, being in charge of different churches. His last regular charge was at Bethany, which he gave up about ten years ago and practically retired from active service in the pulpit, although he had frequently officiated since then, to fill vacancies. He moved to Batavia eight years ago. He was highly respected by his parishioners and friends, who will regret to learn of his death. The time for the funeral has not been fixed. + Albert H. KING. Albert H. KING, for many ears a well-known resident of Batavia, died at the home of his family, in Chili, on Saturday, aged 68 years. Mr. KING was born in Monroe county and was reared on a farm. He was for a long time engaged in handling grain and wool in that county and during the late war was an extensive dealer in oats, which he furnished to the Government. In 1876 Mr. KING and his son, Hiram A., bought the Fish malt house on Elm street in Batavia. Owing to reverses the business passed out of their hands in 1886, but Mr. KING remained in Batavia until the middle of May last, when he went to Tonawanda as a salesman of cement sidewalks. Several days ago he suffered an attack of pneumonia, following the grip. On Friday morning an attempt was made to remove him to Chili, where his family has always lived, but his condition was such that the plan was not carried out until Friday afternoon. He survived less than twenty-four hours after reaching Chili. Mr. KING was an earnest Republican. He represented Chili on the Board of Supervisors of Monroe county and was that county's representative on the Republican State Committee for a term of two. For five years he was a division superintendent and weighmaster on the Erie canal. The funeral will be held from the house in Chili to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. + Mr. and Mrs. Michael DAUBER. Attica.-The funeral services of Mr. and Mrs. Michael DAUBER took place at the house at 1:30 and at the German Lutheran church at 2 p.m. yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. DAUBER had lived with their son Michael on West avenue for about a year past. Before that they had lived on a farm about three miles south of Attica for over thirty years. Up to about three weeks ago both were well. Mr. DAUBER was 88 years old and Mrs. DAUBER 80, and when they were stricken with the grip Mrs. DAUBER died at 6 and her husband at 10 on Thursday morning. Out of a large family of children, only two boys survive. The Rev. Mr. HUBER officiated at the double funeral. + Mrs. Elizabeth PECK. Mrs. Elizabeth PECK, widow of Ashel PECK and one of the earliest settlers in Batavia, being almost a lifelong resident of this town, died yesterday at the County House in Bethany, whither she was taken on Tuesday, December 29th. Her age was about 91 years. Her husband was a wagon maker and for many years did business on State street. Previous to her removal to the County House she boarded with Mr. and Mrs. Samuel COOPER. She was the mother of Edward PECK of Batavia. The remains will be brought to Batavia tomorrow for interment. The funeral services will be held in the Methodist church. The time will be announced to-morrow. + submitted by Linda C. Schmidt
