Flick, John - Friday, Jan 5, 1894, at the home of his son, Hon. J.P. Flick, in Bedford, at 2 a.m., Capt John Flick, aged 76 years, 7 months, and 3 days.
Capt John Flick was born in Allehaney county, Penn., May 8, 1817. In 1852, after having been united in marriage to Miss Margaret Patton, he came to Wapello county, Iowa. In 1857, he removed to Taylor county and located on a quarter section of land near what is now the village of Platteville. During the early period of the great civil war he enlisted in a Missouri regiment and was promoted to the rank of captain. He afterwards raised a company of volunteers which was mustered into the service as Company B of the 9th Iowa Cavalry. With that regiment he participated in many of the great battles of the civil war. While his career as a soldier and officer were honorable and such as reflected credit upon himself, it was as a private citizen that he was best known to the people of Taylor county. In private life he was irreproachable. He died honored and revered by his acquaintances. Gifted in a rare degree with a kindliness of manner and a dignity of personal presence without austerity, he made lasting friendships with those with whom he came in contact.
The funeral services were under the management of Sedgwick Post G.A.R. of Bedford. The S. of V. and W.R.C. joined in the funeral service and assisted in paying the last tributes of respect to the dead soldier and citizen. The remains were escorted to Platteville by members of the Sedgwick Post Sunday, Jan 7, where the funeral services were conducted by Rev M.C. Waddell, of the M.E. church of Bedford.
