In 1864 they came to Iowa and settled in the town of Elkader, where they since resided until about two years ago, when they moved to Boscobel.

Mrs. Flynn, was the devoted wife and mother, and leaves a husband and five children, the youngest a babe but two years old, to mourn her irreparable loss. She has been a sufferer for a number of years, but has borne her trials with a brave heart.

The body was brought to Elkader for burial, accompanied by a number of friends from Boscobel. Rev. Father Coyle of Elkport, administered the funeral rites and Mrs. Flynn was followed to the churchyard by a large crowd of mourners and sympathizing friends. The bereaved family has the sympathy of the entire community.
