Photocopy of a reminiscence by Quinlan covering the period 1871 to 1945 and concerning his growing up in Milwaukee (1871-1880) and later, in Stanton (St. Croix County), Wisconsin. The family lived on "Tory Hill" in Milwaukee, first on Eighth Street and later on Tenth between Hiberian and Hill streets. Milwaukee reminiscences include family history and anecdotes, comments on neighbors, and descriptions of buildings and businesses. After 1880 they concern the family's establishment of a general store and post office in Stanton, his father's death which left his mother with five children to care for, townspeople and businesses, recreation, baseball, education, agriculture, and family anecdotes. Quinlan also briefly discusses his adult work with the railroad from the 1890's -1941
