W. Fred Quimby, 
To “die with one’s hoots on” has from time im¬ 
memorial been the wish of the virile man—the man who 
did things. 
When W. Fred Quimby passed away at 5:15 A. M. 
on the 21st inst. at the Magee Hotel, St. Paul, Minn., he 
may be said to have passed away “in harness” or “with 
his boots on.” Only a day or so before, as late as 
Thursday, May 16, he called upon customers and friends 
in Minneapolis, although at that time he was suffering 
from a severe cold that had been troubling him for some 
time. He kept his troubles to himself, and the first his 
employers, the Du Pont Company, knew about his ill¬ 
ness was a telephone message on Saturday afternoon, the 
18th, from Mr. J. R. Rainey, of Hackett-Walther-Gates 
Co., of St. Paul, to Mr. Dale Bumstead, the company’s 
Chicago office manager, telling that Mr. Quimby was 
seriously ill at his hotel in St. Paul. Mr. Bumstead at 
once got in touch with Mr. W'. S. Magill, a representative 
of his office, whose home is in Minneapolis, told him the 
circumstances of the case and urged him to see that all 
was done that could be done. Specialists and trained 
nurses were unable to do anything, and Fred Quimby 
passed away quietly and apparently without pain early 
on the 21st. 
It has been written of many men that they leave a 
gap that will be hard to fill, but of none could it be 
said with greater truth than of Mr. Quimby. He has for 
years been an intimate friend and Business associate of 
the sporting goods trade, wholesale and retail. He 
possessed to a remarkable degree that tact which goes 
so far to eliminate the border line between business ac¬ 
quaintanceship and personal friendship. He had a pecu¬ 
liar knack of making and keeping friends, and to them 
the sad news of his death will come as a shock. 
For many years he was engaged in the canvas and 
1 eather sporting goods business for himself, but later 
abandoned that pursuit and became the traveling repre¬ 
sentative of the American E. C. & Schultze Gunpowder 
Co., Ltd., in 1894, associating himself with Capt. A. W. 
Money, the general manager of that company, and Noel 
E. Money, its secretary. He has been with the Du Pont 
Company since 1904. He was thus in direct touch with 
the ammunition trade for the last eighteen years. 
In his earlier days he was a first-class pigeon shot, 
and held his own with the best of them, scoring 24 out 
of 25 in the last Grand American Handicap at pigeons, 
shot at Blue River Shooting Park, Kansas City, Mo., in 
1902. The records of trapshooting in New Jersey, his 
native State, show the name of W. Fred Quimby as one 
of its crack marksmen in the late ’80s and early ’90s. 
At the time of his death he had just entered upon his 
sixty-second year, having been born May 12, 1851, in 
Morris county, N. J. He is survived by a widow, a son 
and a daughter and six grandchildren. 
His body was brought to Newark, N. L, his late 
home, on Thursday, the 23d, by his son, J. Whitney 
Quimby, and the funeral service was held at his late 
home, 566 Warren street, Newark, N. J., Saturday after¬ 
noon, the 25th inst., at 2 P. M. 
Birmingham Gun Club. 
Birmingham, Ala.—There was only a small number of 
shooters at the weekly shoot of the Birmingham Gun 
Club, owing to the fact that most of them were over at 
Southern Handicap and were shot out for the week. 
All report a good time at the Southern Handicap. 
Lambeth did most phenomenal shooting at the weekly 
shoot. He met with an accident last vyeek, but is now 
entirely recovered. Mrs. Garl is having a new gun 
made, and promises to clean up with the boys when she 
gets it. Scores as follows:
