Many years ago there was born
in Ireland one boy they called Elijah
Paul Flanigan, and about the same
time there was one Miss Burns who
was very likely born in the same
country. She came to the United
States at the age of seven years.
Shortly after she came, Elijah Paul
Flanigan came to America and set
tled in South Carolina. Those two
met and wed, very likely in South
Carolina. They soon thereafter mi
grated to Georgia and very likely
Jackson county.
To this union there was born Geo.
who wed Cyntba Pendergrass, Isaac,
who wed Eliza Ross, and Luke, who
wed Betsy Shaw, Nancy, who wed
Law rence House, John, w ho wed Eliz
abeth Pentecost, she dying he then
wtu jSusan Melvine Justice.
' Elijah Paul Flanigan in his old age
returned to his old home, Ireland,
and there he died at a good old age.
The good wife lived several years
and died at the age of 104 years at
the home of her daugther, and was
buried at Houses cemetery, so says
one tradition. I shall first give you
the history of the son, John Flani
gan.
He was born October 23, 1796, and
passed to his long home, July Bth,
1808. His body was laid to rest in
the graveyard at Pentecost, lie wed
Elizabeth Pentecost, a daughter of
William Pentecost. Six* was born
August 23, 1802, and passed away t n
May 17, 1858. This William Pente
cost was very likely born 1703 and
passed to his eternal home January
-27, 1839. The children born to bless
this union of John and Elizabeth was
Mary L., born September 10, 1820;
Elizabeth J., born May 17, 1828. She
wed ("apt. A. M. Reynolds the first
time and James Jones the second
.time. She passed away just a few
years back. William P. was horn
December 9, 1830, and In early life
went to Florida and made this home.
.Nancy A. F. born July 25„ 1833, and
died January 14, 1859. She wed San
ford Smith. George 11., born Aug ,
17, 1837, died Nov. 21, 1840. The first
wife dying John Flanigan wed Su
san Melvlnie Justice, daughter of
of Allen Justice and a sister of Esq.
John G. Justice. She was born May
14, 1828, and departed this life Janu
ary 11, 1904. To bless this union.
Allen M. was horn Oct. 21, 1863 and
died Sept. 2, 1919. He wed Hffie Rat
dolph, daughter of Hill Randolph, of
Jefferson. To bless this union there
were born Mellle, John, Allen who
art* yet at home with their mother.
Allen M. Flanigan was a good fel
low ever ready to spend his sub
stance for his friends.
He served his county in many ca
pacities. He was on the board of
education for quite a while and rep
resented his county in the legisla
ture for two years and refused to
have the honor any longer. His
church was kept in good shape so
long as his funds went to pay and
none know better than the writer
how liberal along this line was he.
The next 1 will mention is Luke
Flanigan .He wed Elizabeth Shaw.
To them were born these children:
Elijah, who wed Jane Graham, sister
of Wesley W. E. Graham. The chil
dren of this union are Angie, who
wed Thomas Bradley; Louisa, who
wed 0. I) Sparks. There were three
others who died when quite young.
The second son of Luke Flanigan
is James, who wed Elizabeth Garrett
and moved off to Arkansas.
There are only two girls of Luke
Flanigan, Louisa, who wed Charter
King, and once lived near Cedar Hill.
Delila, who wed A. Bates and mov
ed to Arkansas.
The last son 1 shall name of Luke
Flanigan is Jasper Newton. He was
born Jan. 27, 1834, and went to rest
August 1902. He was born in Jack
son county near Tyro. If you will
notice a bunch of pines nearly in
front of a tenant house on J. B. Ir
vin’s place in C. M. Thompson’s pas
ture, about 50 yards from the road,
is he old house placet where Jasper
Newton Flanigan was born. He
wed Francis Caroline Smith, daugh
ter of Arnold Smith, near Hoschton.
They were married on February 2S,
1858. The good wife was born June

1800, and wed Starling Hill, son of
David Hill; Thomas C., born January
14, 1860, and wed Veda Elder, daugh

wed Ermine Cosby.
There were two others but they
died quite young.
The family of which I hive last
spoken of have filled various avoca
tions and trades in life. Thomas C.
lived on the farm for quite a while
and then went into the mercantile
business. Dilmus J. sometimes farms
and sometimes acts the prat of drum
mer.
Janies C., 1 believe, is the only
•jut* silly enough to occupy the edi
tor's chair. We find him ift that
capacity in Lawreneeville. James (’.
has studied much. He graduated
and was admitted to the bar, made
fairly good headway until he got his
chair as editor. He has represented
his county in the legislature.
Hiram T. and Pink A are doing a
good business in the city of Win
der, Elijah is the true farmer of
the bunch. He has a good home and
profits by bis farming experience.
The wives of these men have good
.lice and well kept homes. I have a
light to know for I have been in
them and was treated royally while I
was their guest.

A young doctor, making a start in a small town, decided that to be prosperous
he must look prosperous. He bought anew buggy and two good horses. Although
he had only a few patients he always kept on the jump, attending to his patients’
smallest needs. People began to notice this young doctor driving about town
and they called him because he looked busy and prosperous. He got his start—
a start that led to a comfortable practice.
Our town, like this doctor, must look prosperous to be prosperous.
Clean streets, attractive store windows, well-painted buildings and dwellings
give the prosperous air. Well-painted buildings are greatest of these.
Red Seal White Lead
(Dutch Boy Painter Trade Mark)
and pure linseed oil make a most durable and protective paint that keeps buildings
well painted. These materials can be mixed v> suit conditions and tinted any

saries. Better get in touch with us in the interests of prosperity.
