Mr. Flanders had been in poor health for several years, and death was due to a general break-down. He was born near Marietta, Washington county, Ohio, September 26th, 1831, the son of Jacob and Sarah Flanders, and came to Kansas at the age of 27 years, locating on a farm 2 miles north of Chiles, in this county. On the fourth day of July, 1861, he married Anna E. Holdren, at Wea, and to this union were born two sons, Colonel Charles S. Flanders, and Arden W. Flanders, both of whom live in Paola. Soon after the opening of the border hostilities, Mr. Flanders became a member of Company I, 7th Kansas Infantry, and served for three years in the campaigns through Southern Missouri and Arkansas. In 1876, he gave up farming, and, with his family, moved to this city, operating a grocery store here for several years. Throughout the long years of his residence in this county, Charles Flanders has ever lead a useful and industrious life, and was always well liked by those with whom he came in contact. He was a member of the McCaslin Post, No. 117, G. A. R., since the organization of that body, and took an active part in all its affairs. Besides the wife and sons, he is survived by two brothers, Christ C. Flanders, of Richland township, and Arthur, of Ellsworth, Kansas. One sister, Mrs. Mary Palmer, of Kansas City, also survives.
