Ozarks Region Loses Pioneer in Mrs. M'Quigg
Amazingly Active for Age, Mrs. Elizabeth McQuigg Was One of First Settlers; Was 94 Years Old at Time of Death
The vigorous and colorful life on one of Springfield's best known pioneer women ended last night with the death of Mrs. Elizabeth McQuigg, 94, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Eugene Jones, 915 West Walnut street.
Active and alert for nearly a century, Mrs McQuigg began failing rapidly five or six weeks ago, and the infirmities of extreme old age brought her death at 9 o'clock last night. Her two surviving children, Mrs. Jones and Mrs. W. D. Miller, 406 Hovey street, and other near relatives were with her at the time of her death.
Amazing Recovery
It was only a little more than two years ago that Mrs. McQuigg, then a slight wisp of a woman, amazed Springfield physicians by recovering from an accident in which she suffered a fractured hip. While visiting at the home of one of her eight grandchildren, D. Woodward, of route 6, Springfield, she fell and sustained the injury. For 16 weeks she was in St. John's hospital, and attendants believed she had no chance to recover.
Yet she kept up her courage and her interest in her friends, the flowers and other things they brought, and it was not long after leaving the hospital before she was walking again with the aid of crutches. Finally she was able to discard them.
The last time she ventured out of the home of her daughter was to have Thanksgiving dinner at the home of her friend, Mrs. Alma Lohmeyer.
Came From Kentucky
Mrs. McQuigg was born in Webster county, while her father and mother were making their way from their former home in Kentucky to Springfield. the family settled on a farm which is now the site of the Centennary home. In 1855 she married John McQuigg. Mr. McQuigg died 47 years ago but Mrs. McQuigg kept the home property until a few years ago.
Mrs. McQuigg's oldest daughter, Mrs. Margaret Woodward, now dead, was among the first students to attend Drury college. Since then two of the grandchildren, Miss Lelia Miller and Dr. Dorsey Jones, and a greatgrandchild, Lucille Jones, have graduated from the same school.
List of Survivors
The eight surviving grandchildren are Mr. Woodward, Betty Robinson, Mrs. Pearl Craig, and Mrs. Mary Johnson, all of route 6; J. W. Jones, 618 East Elm street; Dr. Dorsey Jones, head of the history department at Arkansas University, and Misses Bessie and Lelia Miller of Springfield. Miss Bessie Miller is a teacher at Fairbanks grade school and Miss Lelia at Draughon's Business College.
Funeral services will be conducted at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the Alma Lohmeyer funeral chapel, with the Reverend E. C. Sechler, pastor of Central Christian church, officiating, and burial will be in the Brick cemetery west of Springfield.
