?b?Obit. - Mr. John Flynn.?/b?
Another of the early settlers in this part of the country, who by thrift and energy had made for himself and family a home, and by integrity and uprightness of character had won the respect of all who knew him, was called away by death on Sunday last, in the person of Mr. John Flynn, of Huntley township. For a good many years he had been in delicate health, but was always able to be around and to attend to light work and by his advice and good judgment help in the conduct of the affairs of the farm. On Friday last he was taken suddenly ill, and on Sunday the end came. The deceased was born in county Limerick, Ireland, in the early twenties, and came to this country in 1847, settling in Ramsay, where he spent several years. In 1856 he moved to Huntley township, where he has since lived. He was married to Elizabeth Kelly, of Huntley, and to them nine children were born, all but one of whom are still living. They are: Mrs. P. O'Keefe (dead); Denis and Thomas, in New York; John, in Michigan; Mrs. D. C. Healy and Mrs. M. Healy, of Smith's Falls; Mrs. Jas. Carter, (wife of Conductor Carter) of Carleton Place; Sarah and James on the homestead, and Michael on the farm adjoining. In politics the late Mr. Flynn was a staunch Liberal, but being of a quiet and retiring disposition he never took any prominent part in public matters. He was a consistent member of St. Michael's Roman Catholic church, to which the funeral (probably the largest ever seen in that section) took place on Sunday [error - Tuesday]. There High Mass was celebrated, the remains being then interred in the adjoining cemetery. The only one of the absent sons who was able to reach home in time for the funeral was Denis, who reached Brockville on Monday evening too late for a train. He at once procured a horse and driver and drove the entire distance, with a change of horses at Smith's Falls, reaching home early on Tuesday morning.

Healy, who is well known hereabout, and for the past twenty years they have lived in Smith's Falls.
