    THE HONORABLE JOHN QUINN:
    Thank you for visiting. I will be listing many paper items belonging to the Honorable John Quinn a 51
    st
    . Congressman of New York; a Victorian man who died Feb. 24, 1903. He was born Aug. 9, 1839 in the
    county
    of
    Tipperary
    ,
    Ireland
    and came to NY as a stone cutter. He was a well known NY West Side politician. He came to NY about 35 yrs before his death. He entered politics as a Democrat. He was a member of Tammany Hall and served at various times as Alderman 1885, 86 & 87, assemblyman 1882, and the Fifty-First Congress where he helped to defeat a bill to move Gen. Grant from
    New York
    to
    Arlington
    Cemetery
    . He also served as Deputy Commissioner of Buildings, Lighting and Supplies. He was a member of the Narragansett Club in
    West 54
    th
    Street
    and was prominent in Irish affairs. His wife, Sarah C. Quinn and John had six children. He was a member of many other various organizations and all of these organizations--Farragut Post G.A.R. , Anchor Council, C.R.I. Holy Name Society, Liberty Councils Knights of Columbus, Gramercy Lodge, Ancient Order United Workmen, Owen Roe Club, Branch of the United Irish League, Caledonian Club and the 15
    th
    and 17
    th
    Assembly Districts—all  escorted his body from his residence to the church. He was a loved and respected man. There will be many collectible paper items such as hand written signed letters, political and fraternity invitations, Pass tickets, train tickets, and a hand written poem signed by E.Z.C. Judson (Ned Buntline) both names signed given to John Quinn and much more. Thank you.
    5415. the first letter is written in very lite blue ink and then second letter is written in dark ink and is easier to read. the two letters are bound/tied  together with original string. the gist of the two letters is--first letter written to Hon John Quinn to help get a young musician enlisted in the army band but his age is a factor. the Army needs his guardian to o.k. the enlistment. the second letter is the answer to the first. the first letter written in lite blue ink on the letter head of  Fort Columbus NY Harbor is in good used condition and has been folded. the second letter written in dark ink with the letter head of- War Department Office of the Adjutant General is in good used condition and has been folded. both letters show some lite  normal ware. i am not sure of the first letters original signature. thank you for looking and please see all my listings of the John Quinn collection of historical political paper items in my store and at auction.
