About Quillen

[lollardfish]

My son, Nicholas Quillen Perry's middle name comes from my granddad, Albert Quillen Perry. Al's obituary is in the middle of this page (search for Perry). He was named after Quillen Shinn, a 19th-century Universalist missionary. Shinn founded Ferry Beach, where my granddad used to go, and near where he and his wife lived at the end of their lives. Their ashes are scattered at Ferry Beach.

So that's Quillen.

Is the obituary link supposed to be the same as the Shinn link?

[lollardfish.livejournal.com]

Erg, no. Fixing now.

In case I hadn't mentioned it earlier, my father carried his middle name through for all his sons - all eight of us. Oddly, none of my brothers chose to continue that tradition. I'm pretty certain that I would have, or done something similar.
