Benjamin Levi Flynn (1886-1918) married Mamie Ann Dilworth (1890-1983) in1908 in Taylor, West Virginia. [1]
Benjamin L. Flynn, who died of the influenza at Logan, West Virginia, November 1, 1918, was then thirty-two years of age, yet his efficiency in his profession and his talent for business had enabled him to create a modest fortune in less than a decade of activity. He was a civil and mining engineer, being a graduate of the Kingwood High School and the International Correspondence School of Scranton, and began his active career as a civil engineer during the construction of the Morgantown and Kingwood Railway. He became an engineer for the Elkins Coal & Coke Company, and subse- quently established himself in a general engineering practice. While so engaged he became superintendent for the Logan Mining Company at Logan, and was filling that position when he died. He was a young business man with a very magnetic personality, had a peculiar faculty for handling labor easily and without friction, attracted friends to him from all walks of life, and was a nature lover, fond of the woods and of all the life and things of natural creation. He served three years as a member of the West Virginia National Guard, and had few equals as a marksman. He stood high in Masonry and was a member of the Temple of the Mystic Shrine at Wheeling. Benjamin L. Flynn married Miss Mamie Dilworth, who survived him with three children, James W., Bernard E. and Donald J.
