This is John's burial:

Hampshire Telegraph 21st April 1906

THE LATE MR QUINTRELL
The funeral took place at Kingston Cemetery on Saturday afternoon of the late Mr. John Quintrell, a former Master of the Portsmouth Workhouse, whose death took place recently, as previously reported, from the effects of a fall. The sad ceremony was largely attended, Mr. Quintrell having earned the esteem of all with whom he was brought into contact. The deceased’s son, Mr. Frank Quintrell, and Dr. C. Knott, were the chief mourners; the Board of Guardians was represented by the retiring Chairman (Mr. W. J. Groves), the Vice-Chairman (Mr. J. Timpson), the Clerk (Mr. E. H. Mitchell), whilst those present also included Mr. T. Bonham-Carter (Assist.-Clerk), Mr. R. E. Hoskins (Supt. Registrar), Mr. Rand (Pay Clerk), Mrs. Paice (Assist.-Matron), Mr. and Mrs. Wall, with Messrs. Whitehart and Kitt (two superannuated officers). Several inmates were also present, and there were a large number of floral tributes sent. The service was conducted by the Unitarian Minister at the High-street Chapel.
