Quincy was a place where the residents welcomed and housed/fed the fleeing Saints from the mobs in Missori. It is still a friendly place where we enjoy visiting, shopping, eating. Everyone returns our greetings with a smile and are willing to talk as the occasion arises. The City erected a plaque in the park commemorating the arrival of the weary Mormons. President Hinkley added to the kind words of the Mayor saying, "Eternal will be our gratitude for the people of Quincy who provided shelter to the homeless"
