Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 120-121:
Among those who have made themselves felt in the material development of County Essex is Colin Birch Quick, who was born in Gosfield township, that county, Aug. 6, 1859, a son of Cornelius M. and Catherine (Wigle) Quick...
     Colin B. Quick was reared at home, and acquired a fair education in the common schools. He was apprenticed to the carpenter's trade under his father, and worked at this trade for nine years, when he went to Pelee Island on a visit. Being favorably impressed with the business opportunities offered there, he determined to make it his home. Accordingly he erected a business block, and opened a first-class mercantile establishment. Two years later he sold his stock, and bought the property in which he had conducted his business, together with 68 acres of land, and he has since then been actively engaged in farming, and in buying and selling hogs and grain, being very successful. In politics he is a stanch Liberal, and for the past eight years has served as postmaster. For the last seven years he has been customs officer of the port of North Dock, of Pelee Island. Mr. Quick has also had the telephone office for the past six years, and for the same length of time he has been dock master at Scudder Dock. In addition to his other interests, Mr. Quick is the local representative of the Deering Machine Co., and for the past four years has been agent for J. L. Scott of Chatham, buying grain, but recently he entered the employ of A. J. Green, of Windsor, in the same capacity. For two terms Mr. Quick has served as a member of the town council, and has in every way possible contributed of his time and money to secure the advancement of Pelee Island. Like other members of his family, he is very prominent in the Methodist Church, and in it, and throughout the entire county, he is regarded as a man worthy of fullest confidence, for he has never betrayed a trust, or failed to do what he considered his highest duty.
     On May 23, 1882, Mr. Quick was married to Eliza M. Mifflin, of Kent, Ont., who was born Aug. 30, 1841, daughter of Solomon S. and Margaret A. (Derbyshire) Mifflin, natives of Devonshire, England, and County of Essex, respectively. Three children have blessed this union: Angus R., Milton C. and Edna P. Solomon S. Mifflin was brought by his father to the County of Kent, Ont., when but twelve years of age, and there he remained engaged in farming pursuits. He died in June, 1899, aged sixty-five, and his wife in September, 1890, aged fifty-five. They were members of the Methodist Church. Their children were: Mary S., who married William Ilman, of the County of Kent; Eliza M., Mrs. Quick; Margaret E., deceased wife of George Dent; Darius C., a farmer in Kent; Minnie L., who married Clifford Quick, of Kent; Florence, who married George Dent, of Merlin, Ont.; Enoch, a farmer at Glenwook, Ont.; Brock and George, farmers in Kent; and Miss Priscilla G. M., of Merlin.
