I saw a reference to an obituary for Patrick H. Quinn, in an index compiled by Marie Biel of the Elk County Historical Society, but have not seen the obituary itself.The obit was published in the Ridgway paper, Gazette, 28 July 1904.Comment in the database notes field that his wife was Grace [she died June 1902], and the deceased was the brother of Mrs. Peter (Mary Ann Quinn) McMackin.Based on the census info Patrick H. was born about 1859 so would have been about 46 years old at death.
I don't have any more information about his brother Joseph P. Quinn b. about 1868 except that he and older brother, Patrick H. were not mentioned in their father, Patrick Quinn's, will written in 1916.I assume Joseph had died before that.
The will mentioned only Michael T. Quinn, his remaining son, and his wife, Johanna.It did not mention his daughter, Mary Ann Quinn McMackin, even though her death did not occur until December 1947.A little puzzle there.
Can you tell me the exact dates of birth and death for your ancestor, Michael Thomas Quinn and his wife, Myra?
