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.

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.

Report of his death:

Hampshire Telegraph 14th April 1906

DEATH OF MR J. QUINTRELL

EX-GOVERNOR OF PORTSMOUTH WORKHOUSE

It is with much regret that we have to record the death of Mr. John Quintrell, for many years the Master of the Portsea Island Workhouse, which took place on Wednesday at his residence in Francis-avenue, Southsea. The deceased gentleman, who was 75 years of age, had been in ill-health for some time. He met with a serious accident a few days ago, at his own house, and sustained such severe injuries to his head that he never recovered, but died this morning.

Mr. Quintrell by his genial and kindly disposition had won for himself a large circle of friends. He was many years ago one of the Relieving Officers of the Portsea Island district. In 1872 he was appointed the Master, with Mrs. Quintrell as Matron, and for twenty-two years he held that position. Mrs. Quintrell, however, died several years before her husband’s retirement. Both the Master and Matron always enjoyed the full confidence of the Board of Guardians. They saw the House and its surrounding grounds considerably extended and the staff grow numerically stronger, and from a comparatively small establishment in 1872 it had increased to one of considerable importance by the year 1894, when, owing to failing health, Mr. Quintrell retired on a well earned superannuation.

Mr. Quintrell was a member of the Unitarian Church for years.

At Wednesday’s meeting of the Board of Guardians, a resolution of sympathy with the relatives of the deceased was passed, on the motion of the Chairman (Mr. W.J. Groves), seconded by the Vice-Chairman (Mr. Timpson).

The death formed the subject of an inquiry by the Coroner (Mr. T. A. Bramsdon, M.P.) at the Town Hall on Thursday evening.

It appeared that on Sunday the deceased, who was 75 years of age, was going upstairs in his house, in Francis-avenue, and had gone up some seven or eight steps when he gave a sudden lurch and fell over the banisters, striking his head against the tessellated pavement with much force. Dr. W. Slater, who is assisting Dr. Charles Knott, was summoned as soon as possible, and found Mr. Quintrell suffering from a compound fracture of the skull. He never recovered entire consciousness, and made no statement, dying on Wednesday. The doctor’s opinion was that the deceased was overtaken with giddiness, and that the seizure caused him to fall.

“Accidental death” was the verdict of the jury.

We saw the grave of John and Fanny Ada Quintrell this morning and took lots of photos. I'll add the memorial inscription as soon as I have deciphered it.
