Flannery, Capt.

C., to Palatka, Fla.; bought out the business in 1877; founded the house of John Flannery & Company; became director and President of the Southern Bank of the State of Georgia; is ex-President of the Southern Cotton Exchange; captain, 1872–’98, of the Jasper Greens.
Flynn, Col. David M., Princeton, N. J., is cashier of the First National Bank of Princeton. He is probably the youngest officer in the National Guard of New Jersey to hold the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, being only thirty-three years of age, born in Princeton in 1876. In the Guard, as well as in business life, Colonel Flynn has come up from the ranks. He was one of the moving spirits in the organization of Company L of the Second Regiment, which has distinguished itself on the rifle range at Sea Girt. He enlisted in the company as a private in 1900; was made a corporal in 1901, battalion sergeant-major in 1903; re-enlisted in 1905; was made captain and paymaster of the Second Brigade by Colonel Collins December 10, 1906; major and paymaster, Second Brigade, December 10, 1907, and major and inspector of small arms practice, July 9, 1908. Colonel Flynn’s success in a business way has been as remarkable and gratifying as his military success. Owing to the death of his father, he began work in a store at the age of thirteen, where by his industry and integrity he attracted attention to himself. He studied at night, and when nineteen years of age passed a United States civil service examination, and was named registry clerk in the Princeton postoffice, which position he held until about ten years ago, when he was chosen teller of the First National Bank. Later he was made cashier of the bank and he has more than made good. Since his connection with the bank the number of depositors has more than tripled and the deposits have more than doubled. Colonel Flynn possesses an attribute valuable in all walks of life, but more especially in the banking world—he has never touched liquor of any kind. He is Treasurer of the Citizens’ Association, Treasurer of the Princeton Militia Company, Treasurer of the Princeton Fish and Game Association, chairman of the Committee on Collections of the New Jersey Bankers’ Association, Past Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus and is publisher of the Bankers’ Loose Leaf Discount Ledger.
