Extracted from "Biographical and Historical Record of Adams and Wells Counties," The Lewis Publishing Company, 113 Adams Street, Chicago, 1887, p. 908.

Amos Quick, an enterprising and progressive agriculturalist of Rock Creek Township, where he is engaged in farming and stock-raising, was born in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, August 7, 1835, a son of James and Jane (Thurston) Quick. When he was two years old his mother died, after which his father came with his family to Indiana and settled in Franklin County, where he resided eight years, moving thence to Madison County. Amos remained with his father until 1852, when he came to Wells County with his brother, who settled in Lancaster Township. He made his home with his brother until reaching his majority, when he purchased eighty acres of heavily timbered land on Section 36 of Rock Creek Township, which he at once began clearing and improving. February 13, 1859, he was married to Miss Rachel E. Bay, a native of Wells County, and a daughter of William and Rebecca (Miller) Bay, who were pioneers of this county, coming here from Ohio in an early day. Two children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Quick, named James W. and John H. Mr. Quick has converted his land into a well improved and highly cultivated farm, and since 1856 has devoted his entire attention to agricultural pursuits. Both he and his wife are members of the Baptist church. Politically he casts his suffrage with the Republican party.
