Vincent J. O'Flaherty was born in Vicksburg,
Mississippi, August 28, 1873, but as his parents removed to Kansas
City when he was only five years old he may be considered a Kansas
City product.
His early education was received in the
public schools of the town, and later he entered St. Mary's Academy at
St. Mary's Kas., where he remained for four years.
Returning from school, he entered the employ
of the M., K. & T. Railroad, where he stayed until 1896, when the
position of deputy was offered him by Sheriff Robert S. Stone.
Mr. O'Flahery was in the Sheriff's office until 1900, when he was made
a deputy circuit clerk, which position he now holds.
He has always been prominently identified
with the local Democracy, and has played no small part in its
victories.
Mr. O'Flaherty is a member of the Knights of
Columbus, is Treasurer of the Marquette Club, and is a director in the
Kansas City Athletic Club.
He married Miss Emily Marie Gerard in 1897,
and they have one son, Vincent, Jr.
