James Jerry Flynn, a representative farmer of section 34, east, Chetek
Township, was born on the home farm in Section 27, east, Chetek Township,
the son of Benjamin Franklin and Josie (Adair) Flynn, the pioneers. He was
reared on the old homestead, and first attended the old log school house,
which his father had helped to establish. When the frame schoolhouse was
put up, he attended the first session of school therein. In 1919 he started
in for himself on his present farm. In addition to this he owns 64 acres in
Dovre township. He is known as a shrewd and prudent farmer, who works early
and late, and whose deepest interests are in his home and his family. He
carries on general farming along modern lines, and makes a specialty of
Holstein cattle and Hampshire swine. Mr. Flynn, like his father before him,
is well known throughout the community, and is well liked by all with whom
he comes in contact. He has great faith in the future of Barron County, and
is already well along the road to success. Mr. Flynn was married at Chetek
on Dec. 23, 1919, to Florence Isabelle Henry, born in Walworth County this
state, on Nov. 16, 1903, the daughter of Alexander and Ethel (Weeks) Henry,
the former a native of that county, and the latter a native of Algoma,
Kewaunee County, this state. Mr. Henry died in Walworth County, and his
wife now makes her home with the subject of this sketch. Mr. and Mrs. Flynn
have one child, Malcolm D.
