Richard Taylor Flick was born at Beallsville, Pa., November 6th, 1833; died in Broken Bow, Neb., April 26, 1906, aged 62 years, 5 months and 20 days.
When he was twenty years old his father died leaving him at the head of the family with mother and younger children to provide for. Five years later he, with his mother, two brothers and four sisters moved to Livingston County, Illinois. In 1860, he was married to Miss Eliza Mouser, at Wenona. Some 12 years later he emigrated to Kansas, locating at Hutchinson. He was elected the first mayor of his newly adopted town and afterward was elected Superintendent of Public Instruction of the county, Reno.
He afterwards became a resident of Kinsley, Edwards County, Kansas, where he was elected to the office of county attorney and was twice elected to the state
legislature and became one of the prominent leaders of the republican party in the state of his adoption.
He became interested in real estate in Broken Bow soon after the railroad reached this place, in 1886, but did not locate here until 1893.
He went to Oklahoma in 1889, where he became interested in real estate in Guthrie and Oklahoma City. He was instrumental in building the Union Block, in which he retains one fourth interest at his death. He has a number of other good properties in the city, all of which are rented. For several years prior to locating in the city, he and his wife spent much time in travel. He remarked
at one time that he never begrudged the $22,000 he spent in sleeping cars.
Since the death of his wife about ten years ago, he has occupied his time in scientific research and electrical experiments having in mind the developing of new theories in the application of electricity that would revolutionize its use.
He was a man of broad education, deep thinker, strictly honest, appreciative and sympathetic.
His book, "The Circuits," in which he discusses the primary forces' shows much study on his part.
His last sickness was made easy to him because of the tender and constant care of his daughter-in-law, Mrs. George Flick, which made his surroundings seem more
like home than it had since the death of his wife to whom he was devotedly attached. To care for her grave was one of his most cherished duties.
His funeral was held in the M.E. church Sunday at 2:30 under the auspices of the Masonic Lodge, of which he had long been a member. The sermon was preached by Rev. Xanders, Rector of the Episcopal church, of which he had been a communicant for a number of years. The funeral was largely attended.
He leaves two sons, Walter and George. Walter is now a resident of Oklahoma, but resided with his father at this place until a few years ago. George has been in the employment of the Government for a number of years and his
headquarters are at Washington, but he has a home and is largely interested in real estate in Oklahoma.
