It is nearly twenty-eight years since was celebrated the marriage of John Flanagin and Miss Sarah H. Rogers, May 9, 1861, being the date. This lady comes from an excellent family, being the daughter of Hon. And Rev. P.M. Rogers, who was a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and also a member of the Nebraska Legislature. A record of his earnest and useful life will be found on another page in this volume. Mr. and Mrs. Flanagin commenced the journey of life together in this State, and they now have a family of six children, namely: James Seward, Marcus, Lewis, Mary and Sadie. In giving a proper supervision to his extensive farming interests, Mr. Flanagin has naturally had little time to devote to politics, but he keeps himself well informed, and independent of political parties, aims to support the men best qualified to serve the interests of the people. He has never been an office-seeker, although serving as Assessor of Clay Precinct two terms. He has watched with warm interest the growth and development of Pawnee County, and in the construction of one of its most valuable homesteads has contributed this much to its importance. He is a man whose opinions are held in respect, and one who exerts no small influence in social and business circles. His accumulations are the result of downright hard work, together with good management, and he has little use for the drones in the world’s great hive.
