(VII) Levi Lincoln Flagg, son of Joseph Flagg (6), was born in Boylston, Massachusetts, Septem- ber 20, 1818. He attended the district schools of his native town and of Shrewsbury and then went to work in the good old way, as a farm hand. For the first two years he worked for neighboring farmers for the sum of eight dollars per month with board. His next position brought him one hun- dred and sixty dollars per year. With money saved by frugal management from this small income, he bought the homestead of his father and thereafter he divided his time between the farm and the live- stock business, in both of which he was successful financially. He is living on his farm at Boylston, at present, active in spite of his advanced age.

He is a Republican in politics and has always been active in public affairs. He was assessor for twenty-five years, representative to the general court and for a period of thirty years was on the board of selectmen of the town of Boylston, a remarkable tribute on the part of his fellow-townsmen to his ability and good judgment, such as few men in any town of the Commonwealth have ever received. A service of thirty years is sometimes found in the offices of town clerk or town treasurer, but the in- stances of such long service as. that of Mr. Flagg in the office of selectman are very rare in the past as well as in the present generation.

Lane, and they have two children; Christo- pher L .; Arthur, married Elizabeth Blackman, and they have two children; Joseph Walter, married Isabel Whitten; George A., of whom later; Alice J. married George Hazzard, and died, leaving four children ; Jennie L; Mary M., married Merritt Stewart, and they have seven children.

(VIII) George A. Flagg, son of Levi Lincoln Flagg (7), was born in Boylston, Massachusetts, June 14, 1855. He was educated in the public schools

of his native town. For three years he remained at home after his schooling was ended and assisted his father on the farm. Then he bought a farm in Boyls- ton and conducted it on his own account. In addi- tion to his farm he has dealt to a considerable ex- tent in cattle. He is counted among the most suc- cessful and prosperous farmers of the town.

Mr. Flagg has invested largely in local electric railway companies, which have given such an enor- mous advance in the value of suburban farm prop- erty. In politics Mr. Flagg is a Republican and has been honored by his fellow-citizens with many posi- tions of responsibilty and trust. He has served as collector of taxes, assessor, and town treasurer of Boylston. He and his family attend the Congre- gational church.

Mr. Flagg married, February 21, 1888, Mary L. Bruseau, daughter of Joseph and Mary ( Hawsville) Bruseau, of Worcester.

Walter, July 16, 1899: George A., September 21, 1901; Henry M., October 28, 1904.

JOHN NATHANIEL FLAGG, of the same fam- ily, is a son of John Dexter and Elizabeth (Daven- port) Flagg, the former of whom was born in Boyls- ton, August 3, 1815. Provided with a good educa- tion which was completed at Philips (Andover) Academy, he adopted agricultural as an occupation and followed it in Worcester, Westboro, Millsbury and Spencer successively. John Dexter Flagg died December 23, 1893. In early life he was a member of the state militia. Politically he acted with the Republican party, but never aspired to office. He was an active member of the Congregational church. His wife, Elizabeth, who is also deceased, became the mother of six children, namely: George A., Estelle V., Harriet E., Mary, Maria and John Na- thaniel, the principal subject of this sketch.

John Nathaniel Flagg was born in Boylston, October 12, 1854. He pursued the primary branches of his education in the public schools of his native town, and completed his studies at a private school in Boston. When a young man he engaged in team- ing, but subsequently turned his attention exclusively to agriculture in Boylston, which he is now fol- lowing with profit. In politics he is a Republican and has served with ability as road commissioner. He is a member of the local grange, Patrons of Husbandry. His religious affiliations are with the Congregational church. Mr. Flagg married, Janu- arv 8, 1879, Abbie Frances Ball, daughter of James Emerson Ball, a prosperous farmer of Boylston.
