                                  FLYNN

Edward Flynn was born in March, 1846 in County Mayo, Ireland, and died
at this home in this city June 29, 1907.

He came to this country from Ireland about thirty-six years ago and settled
first at Waverly, Iowa, where he began his employment as section hand on
the Illinois Central R. R. From Waverly he moved to Orchard and from there
he came to this city where he has since resided.  For about thirty years
Mr. Flynn has been a faithful and trusted employee of the Illinois Central
R. R. and for a good many years he was section boss of the Osage section.
The past few years however he has been obliged to give up the more active
duties on account of failing health.

In January, 1882, he was united in marriage to Miss Anna Sullivan and to
this union two daughters were born.

During the years of his residence in this city Mr. Flynn has lived an
upright and exemplary life.  He was a kind and loving husband, a loyal
friend, a considerate and accommodating neighbor; and a dutiful and
faithful employee.  Funeral services, conducted by Father Martin assisted
by Father Barry and Father Nolan, were held at Sacred Heart church Tuesday
morning and the remains were laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery. One
daughter, Mrs. Peltier of Okalhoma City, Okla., was unable to be present
at the funeral.
