Redding Record-Searchlight, January 14, 1913

The body of Thomas Quinn of Round Mountain, who died Saturday, arrived in Redding Sunday. Quinn  died of pneumonia, induced by a celebration he enjoyed in Redding during the holidays. Returning home he fell sick.

The deceased was an ex-union sailor, having done honorable service in the Civil war. He bears the distinction of having been on a ship the ensign of which was George Dewey, now admiral and the hero of Manila bay. The old navyman enjoyed telling of his exploits afloat under the union flag.

The funeral of Quinn will be held Wednesday in this city. Winslow post G.A.R. will have charge.
