C. C. FLORA was born February 28, 1837, in Granger County, Tenn.; he was a
son of Daniel and Hannah (Blair) Flora.  The father was born in Tennessee
in 1818; he died November 6, 1871.  The mother died in Granger County,
Tenn., aged thirty-seven.  In November, 1844, the family came to Trigg
County, and settled in Golden Pond Precinct; they bought 140 acres of land
from George Grace, and engaged in farming.  The father was also Postmaster
at this point, and held the office from 1853 to 1855.  Our subject served
as Deputy, and at the age of sixteen opened a grocery store.  This business
he continued two years, after which he moved to Canton and was clerk in the
dry goods store of E. C. Spiceland one year.  The business then changed
hands; A. G. Cobb became proprietor.  After continuing one year, subject
and E. C. Spiceland bought out the business, and after various changes he
moved to Roaring Springs Precinct and engaged in farming one year; he then
returned to Canton and again clerked for E. C. Spiceland one year.  In 1861
he returned to Golden Pond, and was engaged in farming until 1863.  In the
spring of 1864 he opened a store on these premises, and soon after was
robbed by guerrillas of both stock and cash.  He soon opened a general
store on this farm, and was appointed Postmaster; the office is known as
Deason Postoffice.  In August, 1878, he was elected Justice of the Peace,
and was in his second term when he died, July 24, 1884.  Mr. Flora was
married on December 31, 1857, to Mary H., daughter of J. M. Darnell, of
Roaring Springs.  Their union was blessed with eight children--four boys
and four girls.  Mrs. Flora has been a life-long member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, and still resides with five of her children at the old
home.  Mr. Flora lived and died in the Methodist faith.
