Mr. Quivey joined the M.E. Church at Holliday 35 years age, and has always since lived a consistent Christian life. He was married October 18, 1868 to Elizabeth Price. No children were born to this union, but this worthy couple opened their hearts and home to the presence of a little child in the person of George W. Sargent, who lived with them form the age of eight years old until manhood.
After the death of the latter, his little son Guy W. Sargent, at the age of two years, was welcomed into their home and given the same tender care that had been bestowed upon the father. This child, now grown to manhood, with the help of his wife and did all he could alleviate the worry and care of his benefactor's declining years.
He will be sadly missed in the home and also by the neighbors to whom he was every most obliging.
His exemplary Christian life, his honorable public life and his kind and considerate private life should stand as an example to all the younger generation.
Besides a wife, he leaves one sister and six brothers, one brother, John, having died years ago.
