Biography

This profile is part of the Quigley Name Study.

Julia Quigley was born at Mobile, Alabama, April 5,1834, died at Thornburg, Nebraska, December 30, 1908, aged seventy four years, eight months and twenty five days. Was married to William M. Quigley at Nelsonville, Ohio, August 19, 1851, moved to Drakeville, Iowa, in 1856, from there to Putman County, Missouri, in 1868 at which place her husband died May 14, 1872. In 1880 she moved to College Springs, Iowa, and from there to Steele City, Nebraska, in the spring of 1883. She came to Thornburg, Nebraska, April 1904. She was the mother of nine children, seven of whom survive her: Laura J. Bunting of College Springs, Iowa; Frank M. Quigley of Twin Falls, Idaho; Horace C. Quigley of Ferdinand, Idaho; D. M. Quigley of Thornburg, Nebraska; Mrs. Fannie Q. Law of Long Beach, California; Seth R. Quigley of Denver, Colorado and Mrs. Deborah W. Blatchley of Thornburg, Nebraska. She was converted and joined the Christian church at an early age and remained an active member until her removal to Steele City, Nebraska, at which place she joined the First Baptist church of which she was a member at the time of her death.

Left a widow at thirty-eight with a family of eight small children in the woods of Missouri, she heroically assumed the responsibility of rearing and educating her children, which task she accomplished in a manner alike creditable to herself and family. Each place where she resided she is remembered for her noble efforts, kindly greetings, untiring and unselfish work for others and her noble Christian character. Thus ends her work on earth, full in years, full and complete in responsibilities assumed and duties performed, an example for all to follow. Gone to her reward kindly remembered by all her influence shall never cease.
