FRANK CUSACK.  The gentleman whose name heads this sketch has long enjoyed 
prestige as a leading citizen in the community in which he resides, and as an 
official against whose record no word of suspicion was ever uttered.  For many 
years Mr. CUSACK has been an important factor in the history of Walworth 
county.  His prominence in the community is the legitimate result of genuine 
merit and ability, and in every relation of life, whether in the humble sphere 
of private citizenship or as a trusted official with many responsibilities 
resting upon him, his many excellencies of character and the able and impartial 
manner in which he has discharged his every duty have won for him an envied 
reputation as an enterprising and representative self-made man.  In Mr. 
CUSACK's veins flows the blood of a long line of sterling Irish ancestors, in 
fact, he himself is only of the second generation of this great people in the 
United States.
 
Frank CUSACK grew to manhood on the homestead here and he assisted with the 
general work about the place when of proper age.  He received his education in 
the public schools of Darien.  Early in life he turned his attention to farming 
for livelihood and has been very successful as a general farmer and stock 
raiser, being now the owner of one of the choice farms in section 22, Darien 
township, consisting of one hundred and sixty acres, which he has placed under 
excellent modern improvements and on which he has a pleasant home and a good 
set of outbuildings.  In connection with general farming he is making a 
specialty of dairying, for which he is well equipped in every way, and has a 
good grade of cows.
 
Mr. CUSACK was married on February 3, 1902, to Elizabeth FLYNN, daughter of 
Richard and Elizabeth (STEWART) FLYNN, a highly respected family of Darien 
township, this county, where they have become very well established through 
their enterprise and honorable dealings.
 
Frank CUSACK, farmer of Darien township, Walworth county, was born on February 
14, 1872, in this township, and he has been content to spend his life right 
here at home.  It would have been hard for him to have found a better place.  
He is the son of Patrick and Ellen (SULLIVAN) CUSACK, both natives of Ireland, 
where they spent their earlier year and went to school and from there they 
emigrated to Canada in 1851 and engaged in farming until 1857, in which year 
they moved to Darien township, Walworth county, Wisconsin, and there he worked 
out as a farm hand until 1870, in which year his father purchased a good farm 
in Darien township, which he improved and on which he spent the balance of his 
life, dying in November 1906, and there, on the old homestead, which he left in 
excellent condition, his widow still resides.
 
Eight children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Patrick CUSACK, named as follows: 
Mary, now Mrs. MORAN; John; Nellie is deceased; M. E., James, Julia; Frank, of 
this sketch; Agnes is deceased.
 
To Mr. and Mrs. CUSACK two children have been born, namely: Elizabeth, born 
February 7, 1903; and Loretta, born July 13, 1905.
 
Politically, Mr. CUSACK is a loyal Republican and more or less active in local 
party affairs.  He was assessor of his township for a period of eight years, 
filling this office in a manner that own the hearty approval of all concerned.  
He is at present treasurer of the Darien high school.  He is a member of the 
Equitable Fraternal Union, an insurance order, and the Modern Woodmen and the 
Knights of Columbus.  Religiously, he is a faithful member of the Catholic 
church.
