     Edward Quiring, oldest son of Claus P. and Aganetha (Wiebe) Quiring was born on
October 11, 1912 on a farm east of Mountain Lake. He spoke only German when he
started attending country school at age 6. He spent his growing years helping on
his father's farm. On September 23, 1937 Edward was united in marriage to Almada
Peters, and they made their home in Mountain Lake. In October of 1936 Edward
began working with Jungas Hardware eventually becoming manager of Jungas Gas Co.
and worked there for 47 years, retiring in 1983. He was very civic minded and
spent many years in public service. He served as Councilman 1966-1977 and as
Mayor of Mountain Lake 1978-1988 & 1991-1992. He was commissioner of Southwest
Regional Development Corp. from 1980-1988. His enthusiasm and support for the
community never waned, even after he was no longer in public service. After
retirement, Edward enjoyed meeting his friends for coffee and visits with his
family. He and Almada traveled extensively and enjoyed visiting with family and
friends, reading, and dining out. He was an active member of Lakeview Gospel
Church and enjoyed singing in the Men's Chorus. His faith and church has always
