EDWARD H. FLICK, 
now resident of Altoona, and a member of the Blair county bar, is a son of
John and Elizabeth (Sharbaugh) Flick, and was born in Cambria county,
Pennsylvania, August 16, 1860. Ere the star of the great Napoleon had begun
to wane o'er the snows of Russia, and while Alsace still remained an integral
part of the empire of France, one of the families that resided in that
province was the Flick family, one of whose members was John Flick. He grew
to manhood in his home near the waters of the beautiful Rhine, in what is now
a part of the territory of Alsace-Lorraine, a province of the present German
empire, and at nineteen years of age, in 1830, emigrated from the Alsace to
Cambria county, this State, where he settled at Carrollton, which has been
his place of residence ever since. During the earlier part of his life he was
chiefly engaged in farming, but of late years he has not been active in
agricultural pursuits or in any line of business. Although an octogenarian in
years, he still retains his memory well, while his mental powers have not been
impaired by his advanced age. He is a member of the Catholic church, and a
democrat in politics, and married Elizabeth Sharbaugh, who was born in the
same Rhineland province as her husband, and died at Carrollton in the fall of
1869, when in the forty-seventh year of her age.
   Edward H. Flick was reared in his native town of Carrollton, and received a
classical education at St. Vincent's college, a flourishing literary
institution of Latrobe, Westmoreland county, and western Pennsylvania which
was founded in connection with St. Vincent's abbey by the Rt. Rev. Boniface
Wimmer, of sainted memory. Leaving college he determined upon the profession
of law as a life vocation, and entered the office of A. V. Barker, then a
prominent lawyer of Ebensburg, Cambria county, and now president judge of the
courts of that county. Upon the completion of his course of reading he was
admitted to the bar of Cambria county in the spring of 1883, and  practiced
at Carrollton until the spring of 1884, when he came to the city of Altoona,
where he has been continuously and successfully engaged in the practice of
his profession up to the present time.
   On June 30, 1891, Mr. Flick united in marriage with Annie, daughter of John
O'Connor, of Pittsburg.
   Edward H. Flick is a straight democrat in politics, and a member of the
Catholic church. He was elected city solicitor for Altoona city on April 18,
1892, for a term of two years, commencing with the first Monday of May, 1892.
