The Lowell Journal says: "During her residence among us Mrs. Flanagan has endeared herself to many by her admirable traits of character. Modest and retiring she was not one to be a leader, but her native charity in thought, speech and action has been the key of her character. Loving and domestic her home has been her kingdom and in her home she found her greatest happiness." The funeral was held from the home on Saturday afternoon and was attended by a large concourse of sympathizing friends. The Rev. S. T. Morris, conducted the funeral and preched a very edifying and comforting sermon, paying at its close an eloquent and deserved tribute to the deceased."
