Homer Summerfield Quinn was born in Highland county, near Fallsville, Ohio, February 28th, 1839. His father, Rev. Dr. Isaac Quinn, was both a clergyman and a medical practitioner. To Isaac and Cynthia Quinn were born nine children, of whom the subject of this sketch was the youngest. He received his early education in the country school of the neighborhood, but completed his scholastic labors at Greenfield Seminary. Upon leaving Greenfield, he for a time followed the avocation of a farmer, meanwhile in his leisure hours devoting his attention to the study of medicine. His medical course was finished under the direction of his brother, Dr. J. H. Quinn, and in 1862 he commenced the active practice of his chosen profession at Jefferson, Madison county, where he has continued to reside. As a physician Dr. Quinn has built up an extensive and remunerative practice, with a reputation for thorough medical erudition and sound practical reliability. A Democrat in politics, he has held quite a number of local offices, and has several times been prominently mentioned as the candidate of his party in the county for member of the State Legislature. Of fine personal appearance and excellent conversational powers, the doctor is socially as well as professionally and politically one of Madison's most prominent citizens. He was married, April 27th, 1870, to Bettie Putnam, daughter of the late Horace Putnam, at one time Treasurer of Madison county.
