        W. C. FLANAGAN, cooper, is a native of Canada, and was born
     December 27, 1816.  After reaching manhood, he came to Michigan and
     settled in Port Huron in the fall of 1837, and was among the early
     settlers of this then small village.  He soon after engaged in his
     present trade, and has carried on the business most of the time for
     the past forty-five years.  He employs eight to ten men, and does a
     good business.  There are very few here now that were here when he
     came.  While living outside of the town, he held the office of Town-
     ship Highway Commissioner, School Director, Town Clerk and Justice of
     the Peace.  In 1843, Mr. FLANAGAN married ABIGAIL CHASE, of Canada.
     She died June 10, 1851, and left three children, ALEXANDER, JOSEPH C.,
     FLORA.  In 1853, he married LUCINDA RUDDOCK, of Port Huron; they have
     four children - WILLIAM, HENRY, HOWARD and GEORGE.
