THOMAS FLICK, a prominent citizen and farmer of Jackson Township, Orange
County, Ind., where he was born October 15, 1821, is one of twelve children
born to Christopher and Polly (Cox) Flick. The parents were natives of
Pennsylvania and Kentucky, immigrating, from the latter State to Orange
County in an early day. Christopher Flick became one of the prominent men of
his community and was owner of a large landed estate. He was a leading
member of the Christian Church and for more than thirty-five years was a
minister in that organization. Thomas was the third son and sixth child of
his parents, with whom he lived until his twenty-fourth year. His education
was limited to such as could be obtained in the primitive schools of his
day. Miss Letitia Williams became his wife August 21, 1845, and by her he is
the father of nine children, named John T., Polly J. (Gass), George W.,
Martha A. (Kelems), Elvira (Kelems), Louisiana (Bledsoe), Isaac M. and two
who died in infancy unnamed. Farming and stock-raising has been Mr. Flick's
life occupation and he now owns 555 acres of land and his wife 210 acres.
She is a member of the Christian Church and he is a Democrat in politics. He
was formerly one of the Township Trustees and has always been among the
foremost men in Jackson Township, enjoying the esteem of all who know him.
