Read More	Patrick and Ellen Flynn raised five sons and six daughters on their small dairy farm in Waterford county, Ireland. Michael, the second son, was born February 15, 1850. Typical of the Irish race of that time, he emigrated to America while still a boy in his teens in the year 1866. His destination was Tremont, Illinois, where is oldest sister, Mrs. James Cooney, lived. Here, the newcomer showed that he could do as he did through life, work hard, sing as he worked, and made friends of young and old. He became a farmer in his own right in a new free country where he was proud to become a loyal citizen. Michael Flynn and Julia Cooney were united in marriage at Pekin, Illinois, April 9, 1874, and made their home on an Illinois farm for about eight years. In 1882 the young farmer cast his lot with the west, settling on his new farm on the strip ten miles south of Holton, Kansas, near the home of his brother, John. In 1884 he brought and moved to his last farm home near Lower Banner school, where he farmed extensively and raised livestock for forty years. Here, the industrious, loving parents, lifetime sweethearts, reared their seven sons and four daughters. “Uncle Mike” Flynn stood and worked for progress and improvements in the community. He always praised his adopted country and the modern progress in living conditions, schools, and nearly all lines of endeavor. He was a practical Catholic and fully confident in his religious beliefs. On account of their age, this farmer of many years and his good wife, retired in 1924 when they moved to Kansas City, where Michael Flynn passed from life to his eternal reward March 18, 1935, at the age of eighty five years, the last of his family and generation. Surviving are his companion of sixty-one years; four sons, Thomas of Mayetta, William, Edward, and James of Kansas City; four daughters, Agnes McNeive of Delia, Margaret Flynn and Ester Barbee of Florida, and Mary Dewey of Kansas City. Three sons, Henry, John, and Joseph, preceded their father in death. He also leaves nineteen grandchildren and many other relatives and friends. Funeral services were held in St. Dominic’s church, Holton, Kansas, at nine o’clock, March 20, 1935. Father John J. Ryan was celebrant of the High Mass, assisted by Father Twomey of Delia. Burial was in the family lot in Mt. Calvary cemetery. The casket bearers were five grandsons, Francis and James McNieve, John, Joseph, and Billie Flynn, and one grand nephew, Edgar Cooney. May eternal light shine upon him and may his soul rest in peace.
