DANIEL FLYNN, of Litchfield, is a son of John Flynn, who has already been mentioned
in this department. Daniel is a native of Elgin, Ill., born May 18,1843, and came to
Meeker county, with his parents, in 1856, when still a boy. He remained principally
with the family until 1873. During the Indian troubles the family was taken to
Clearwater, but Daniel, with others, remained to fight the redskins. In 1873, he
rented out the old homestead and came to Litchfield. The following year, in company
with his brother, Michael J., he engaged in the lumber trade and in the winter of
1875-6, they took up agricultural implements. Later they sold out their lumber
business to W. H. Greenleaf. In 1879 the firm purchased the Butler elevator, and
since that time have carried on a very extensive business in grain and farm
machinery. During the season of 1887 they handled over 175,000 bushels of wheat
alone. In 1884 Mr. Flinn was elected sheriff of Meeker county, and held the office
for three years. He has filled various other offices and was for several years one
of the village aldermen, and has always taken an active interest in all matters
affecting the welfare of his town or county.

  Mr. Flynn was united in marriage, December 25, 1874, with Miss Mary A. McNamara, a
native of Jefferson City, Mo. By this union there have been born a family of eight
children, whose names are respectively— John Arthur, Daniel, Thomas, Michael,
Francis, Louise, Mary and Elizabeth.
