FLANNERY, CAPT. JOHN, Savannah, Ga.; of the John Flannery Company,
cotton factors and commission merchants; was a non-commissioned
officer of the Irish Jasper Greens in garrison at Fort Pulaski, 1861;
was later lieutenant and captain, C. S. A., serving under Gen. Joe
Johnston and General Hood; became a partner, in 1865, in the cotton
firm, L. J. Guilmartin & Company, having a line of steamers from
Charleston, S. 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_.
