  PATRICK GLYNN, who owns, a farm of 240 acres in Westside township, only a

short distance southwest of Adrian, is one of the old settlers of the county. He

is a native of County Claire, Ireland, where he was born in 1845. His father,

Thomas Glynn, died in Ireland when our subject was a small child. His mother,

Johanna (Cusick) Glynn, is also dead, having died in Michigan.



  Mr. Glynn came to America in 1857 and located at Paynesville, Ohio, where he

lived three years. He then went to Cleveland, where he resided many years. He

worked in a foundry in that city some time and at other occupations, and during

part of the time he was there engaged in farming. During the years 1874-75 he

worked in the railroad shops in Sacramento, California, but returned to his old

home in Cleveland.



  While living in that Ohio city Mr. Glynn came in contact with advertising

literature concerning the Nobles county country which had been prepared by

Bishop Ireland, the head of the colonization company, and decided to try his

fortunes in the west. He sold his residence property there and on May 20, 1879,

arrived in the county which has ever since been his home. He bought a quarter

section of land on section 33, Westside township, for which he paid $7 per acre,

and engaged in farming. He conducted the farm until 1892, when, on account of

the poor school facilities in his immediate neighborhood, he sold and bought his

present farm on section 23, for which he paid $16 per acre. That farm has ever

since been his home.



  Mr. Glynn was married to Mary Kinsella September 3, 1877, in St. John

cathedral in the city of Cleveland, Ohio, by Rev. Father Thorpe. She is a native

of County Carlow, Ireland. Mr. and Mrs. Glynn are the parents of the following

children: Henry, Mary, Annie, John, Kathryn, Margaret, Agnes, Sarah and James.

Mr. and Mrs. Glynn are members of the Catholic church.
