B. F. Flynn, farmer, P. O. Chetek, Barron county, was born in
Jefferson county, N. Y., February 13, 1852, a son of John and Susan
(Woodman) Flynn, the former of whom was born in Ireland and the
latter in New Hampshire.  The parents followed farming in New York
until 1865, when they moved to Wisconsin and settled in Crawford
county.  Our subject remained at home until he was fourteen years of
age only, when he started out for himself and worked on farms until
his marriage, October 18, 1877, to Josephine Adair, of Richland
county, Wis.  to this couple have been born six children, as follows:
Charles W., Almond, Dillon, Everett, John and Ellie, all living at
home.  In 1874 Mr. Flynn came to Barron county and settled on section
twenty-seven and homesteaded 160 acres, of which he has eighty
improved, and also raises considerable stock.  In political matters
he is a strong republican, but would never accept any public office. 
He is a member of the United Brethren church.  Since coming to Barron
county, Mr. Flynn has seen the entire township settled up, as he was
one of the first settlers in his part of the township.
