1854 — Anna B. Flinders — 1943
Anna Bailey Flinders, eldest daughter of Cyrenius and Jane A. Bailey was born in Saratoga county, New York state, September 24, 1854. She was one of a family of seven children, Asa C. Bailey now being the only surviving member. Her long and useful life will be recorded by us as having ended at nine o'clock Monday evening, May 3, 1943, 88 years, 7 months and 9 days.
Life has been likened to "A Vale Stretched Between Two Eternities" To Anna this vale must have been a joyous, road to travel. True it is, there were many difficult portions to pass over, but to her four children, eleven grandchildren, thirteen great grandchildren, relatives and many friends, life has been made sweeter, more worthwhile and livable for having known her and the glorious serene life she led.
Reared in a home where the family altar was always observed, a church and religious influence dominated her life. Through all her busy years, the rush of life at high tide, the waning days when older people become careless and dispirited, she never failed to ask the Master a blessing at morning meal and for guidance through the day.
Anna was only a small child when her parents came from New York state and settled at Shabbona, Illinois. There she grew to womanhood, spent a year or so at Carleton College, Minnesota where a cousin was also attending, and in 1877 married Geo. B. Flinders, then a young musician. No wonder she was attracted to this young man. She loved music. Song was in her heart and soul and life. In 1881 she moved with her husband and one child to Spring Township, in Cherokee County, Iowa on a farm on the banks of the Little Sioux River, where she reared her family and lived until the death of her husband In 1914.
Her four children, all of whom are now living, Jessie F. Kingston of Climax, Sask., Canada; Orlow B. of Fort Francis, Ontario, Canada; Clara Maria Gaskill of Chamberlain, South Dakota and Laurence George still living on the farm, were reared on this Iowa farm home, receiving their early common school education at the little country school which was often taught by her, as well as other schools at times in the vicinity. She also found the time to give music lessons to many young people in her community as well as taking an active part In social and church activities. An aging mother then required her care and turning over the home farm to her youngest son, Laurence, she moved to Sutherland and bought the Dr. Nichols' cottage where she resided and cared for her own mother during her last days and where she also spent her last declining years.
Her life was a busy life, a full, rounded out Christian life. One of the countless thousands of mothers, the mothers who have made and molded the social life of communities, like Highland, Sutherland, Cherokee, Primghar, the life blood of Iowa, the back bone of the Great Middle West, the anchor of our Nation. From the days of the prairie schooner to the four motored transport that rules the skies. The span of one human life, perhaps two, but molding the past to the future, without beginning, without end.
Yes, we will miss her. But her passing should not be one of mourning. Her life is an inspiration, her memory a benediction to all who have lived with her and known her.
