Death of John D. Flint.
A Peacham Boy Who has Lived In Fall
River for Over Sixty Years.

Tohn D. Flint, one of the most active
citizens of Fall River, Mass, during the
past go years, and one in whom wide
variety of local interest conferred, died at
his home there Wednesday morning,
August %. He has been in poor health
for several years, and was 81 years and
four months old
Mr.. Flint was born in North Reading,
April 26, 1926. His parents were
farmers, and the outward conditions of
his life were poor. At the age of five
years, with his parents and brothers, he
moved to Peacham, where he made his
home till he was 10 years old. He was
converted at the age of about II, bap-
tiled, and joined the Methodist church in
Peacham, and with the Methodist
denomination he was ever afterward
connected.
On the farm he led the life of the
average farmers son, his means of educa-
ton being small and his progress slow,
the thought of making his own way
being uppermost, and the environment
causing him to lay stress on selfreliance
He had received from his mother strong
bent in this direction, also a strong
tendency toward religious belief. A
woman of marked force of character
patient and tender, but of determined
purpose, John always acknowledged the
debt he owed her.
The deceased went to Boston late il
his teens and worked in a store o.
restaurant one year, when, being sick, h
returned to Peacham. After some tim
he recovered, and hearing Of a stor
situation in New Bedford, Mass, h
went thither and secured it. He entere,
the employ of B. P. Cunningham as
peddler of tin and wooden ware. H
started at very humble point, workin
the first year for $14 and board pc
month. His economical ways may b
understood from the fact that at til
years end he had saved more than $40
of his earnings. In speaking of this e1
perience many years afterward when
young man sought help from him t
enable him to prepare for the ministr,
Mr.. Flint said he lived one week on a
expenditure of % cents. After that yea
he entered Cunningham's store as
clerk, and at length became bookkeepel
his returns for the second year we
1915, those for the third year $40
When he left his employers service ia
1, 1850, he had saved $500.
