• Notes

  Murdered in his own home (See below) -- 1908 Sep 18, Fort Wayne Sentinel: "Mess re. Martin Drollinger, Harry Drollinger and Mr. and Mrs. Bolerjack and little son go to Wabash tomorrow to attend the funeral service of Edward Quick the penitentiary guard who was shot to death in his home by a burglar Wednesday night at Michigan City. The funeral will be held at Wabash Saturday afternoon at 8 o'clock." On Thursday 17 September 1908 the headline in the Wabash Plain Dealer screamed "Ed Quick Murdered in Night By Burglar." The paper reported a burglar entered the Quick home in Michigan City [Indiana] soon after midnight which awakened Ed. When Ed roused out of bed, the burglar shot him and fled. Ed Quick was a guard at the Michigan City, Indiana, prison, so immediate speculation pinned the blame on some recently released convict. Friday's paper announced funeral services for Saturday, the 19th, at the First Methodist Church and added "there is no credence placed in the theory that death was caused by a convict or escaped convict." There were no other details of the crime.
