JAMES H. FLICK

IF the men who have taken an active part in the upbuilding of Pawnee Rock and
the development of Barton County none is better known than the subject of this
sketch, James H. Flick. Mr. Flick was born October 10, 1851, in Lycoming County,
Pa. When he was thirteen years old the family moved to Illinois where James
remained for twenty years. He came from there to Barton County in 1887. He took
up a homestead and bought land near Pawnee Rock and at once took a part in the
development of the county's resources. His old home is now known as the Fish
place, he having disposed of all his farming interests several years ago when he
moved to Pawnee Rock and went into the hotel business, and it is safe to say
that there is no hotel in the state that is better known than the Rock Hotel of
Pawnee Rock. He still owns the hotel building but gave up the operating of it
six years ago. In addition to the hotel Mr. Flick owns a nice residence and
considerable other town property. He was married in Illinois to Miss Sarah
Keith. They had two children, Daniel and Florence, the latter of whom is dead.
Mr. Flick survived his first wife and in 1884 was married to Miss Sarah David
and to this union there were born seven children all of whom are deceased except
Jessie who is now lving in Pawnee Rock. Mr. Flick has always been one of the
leading citizens of Pawnee Rock and has had a great deal to do with its
upbuilding and making it one of the important towns of the county. He enjoys a
wide acquaintance in all parts of the state of Kansas and is well known among
the traveling fraternity. He is one of the really old timers who saw this county
when it was struggling with the hard times and has seen it grow to its present
high standing in the State of Kansas.
