Richard M. Quickfall was born in New York State, March 16th, 1833. When eight years of age his parents moved to Canada and settled on a farm now possessed by his son, Allan E., where he was raised.

On May 27th, 1862, he was married to Leah Groff who was born August 17th, 1839. Soon after his marriage he took possession of the old homestead which he greatly improved in appearance and value in erecting first-class buildings thereon and in planting a great variety of both fruit and ornamental trees. Here he resided until 1889 when he moved on the farm he now possesses about a mile north of Bridgeport.

Mr. Quickfall has held various positions such as trustee, assessor, councillor and at present he holds the position of first deputy Reeve for Waterloo Township. His family consisted of six children.
