The Quick family prominent for several generations in Canada, has had able representatives in the township of Colchester South, County of Essex, in the late Cornelius R. Quick, and now in his capable daughter, Mrs. Annie A. (Quick) Brush, widow of the late Arthur B. Brush...

     The late Arthur B. Brush, born Dec. 2, 1850, was a descendant of the John Brush, who came to Canada about 1799, with a company of United Empire Loyalists, and who was followed a few years later, in 1806, by his brother Stephen, from whom many residents of Colchester and Malden townships are descended. John Brush, in the assignment of government land drew Lot 89, Concession 1, and resided there till the day of his death. He married Miss Betsy Wright, who bore him the following three sons: Charles; John, who married Miss Ann Grubb; and Thomas, who married Miss Lucinda Fox. There were also several daughters.
     Charles Brush married Miss Anna Hartley, by whom he had two children: Arthur B.; and Ellen Melinda, born Sept. 29, 1852, the wife of Darius Wigle, of Kingsville.
     Arthur B. Brush inherited his father's homestead, and by him it was willed to his beloved daughter, as will also be the old Quick home, which Mrs. Brush inherited from her father. Mr. Brush was an able business man, and a most honorable, upright gentleman, who had many friends. He belonged to the Odd Fellows and the Workmen, and was very popular in both organizations.
     Mrs. Brush is a gracious woman, of marked business ability and artistic tastes. Her home is beautifully located on the lake, and its charm and order delight all who see it.
