- Charles Frederick FLINT was born in the town of Amity,
Allegany Co., New York,
- June 30, 1843, and died at Milton Junction, Wis., April 30,
1920.
- In early life he came with his family to Wisconsin and settled
in Waushara Co., where
- he took up the occupation of the farmer. When the war broke
out he responded to his country's call and joined as a Private,
Co. G, 38th Regiment Wisconsin Infantry Volunteers. He served
to the close of the war and then returned to his farm in Central
Wisconsin.
- When just a young man he was baptized by Elder Hiram BABCOCK
and united with
- the Seventh Day Baptist church at Coloma, Wis. A good part
of his life was spent at Dodge Center, Minn., where he was perhaps
best known during the active years of his life.
- On December 7, 1861 he was married to Miranda RANDOLPH.
To this union
- were born six children, Nellie, Clarence, Melvin, Cora, Eva
and Adelbert, of whom only Cora and Adelbert survive.
- In the spring of 1917 he with his wife came from New Auburn,
Wis., and settled at
- Milton Junction, where they lived when Mr. FLINT died.
- Never quite well or strong since his service in the army,
Mr. FLINT has experienced
- much hardship and struggle in the rearing of his large family
and others dependent upon him. He was infinitely patient and
seemed to be born for service as he went about caring for those
dependent upon him.
- The funeral services were conducted by Rev. E. D. Van Horn.
A. D. Hamilton Post
- No. 60, G.A.R., and Coakley W.R.C. attended in a body, the
