MRS. MARY QUINN
came to Mansfield, Ohio, in 1868, direct from Ireland,
with her mother, her father having died three years
before. After living in Mansfield ten years she
was married to Bartholomew Flannery, a prominent and
influential citizen of Mansfield. That he was also
a popular citizen was attested by the fact of his being
elected sheriff of the county in 1885 and again in 1887,
serving two terms in that office. He was a
lifelong Democrat, and died in 1893. Mrs. Quinn
was married to her present husband, Mr. R. C. Quinn,
Sept. 5, 1899, and has lived at her present home, No.
236 North Main street, for the past thirty-five years.
Her mother, Mrs. Mary Hogan, died Sept. 15, 1897,
at the home of Mrs. Quinn, where she had been
living for fifteen years.
R. C. Quinn is a prominent farmer of Richland
county and is an exsoldier of the Civil war, having
served in the Union army from 1862 to 1865. Mrs.
Quinn has had the care of fourteen children,
several of them being the children of her brother.
Her nephew, Bartholomew Flannery, is
living in Mansfield. He is thirty-one years of age
and is a well educated young man, having attended
college after getting through with his common school
course. Mrs. Quinn, like all the
rest of her family, is a devout Catholic, and well
remembers the burning of old St. Peter's church during
the second term of Mr. Flannery as
sheriff. Mrs. Quinn has two sisters
and two brothers. Mrs. Catherine
Agan, one of the sisters, is a widow, living on East
Sixth street. She had eleven boys, seven of whom
are still living. Mrs. Annie Burk,
the other sister, is living on Diamond street,
Mansfield. She also is a widow, and has one boy,
eighteen years of age, and one daughter, twelve years of
age. The brothers, Patrick and
Cornelius Hogan, also live in Mansfield.
Mrs. Quinn is enjoying the best of health
and is one of the most useful communicants of St.
Peter's church. She is an excellent
woman in every way and has a host of friends.
