Died, at Long Branch, on Friday, June 11th, Capt. John Flinn, in the84th year of his age.
The death of Capt. Flinn has cast a gloom o�er the community in whichhe has been so long a resident. His death should have been more thana passing notice, from which the fact that, in many respects, he wasan exemplary man, and one of our oldest and most respected citizens.In early life he followed the business of transporting charcoal andfarm produce, by sail vessel to New York City, by which he acquired acompetency, and retired to his farm, in the village of Long Branch, tospend the evening of his days. He possessed a kind and generousheart, plain and strict in his habits, unassuming in his manners,upright in his dealings, genial in his disposition, candid in hisjudgments, he commanded the respect of all companions, and he passedaway as he had lived in tranquility and peace, universally beloved.What a beautiful commentary is here presented of a well-spent life.It is certainly worthy of our emulation.
