Power, of this city. She was one of the early settlers of Dubuque, Iowa, but for a number of years past has been a resident of Montana. Mrs. Flanagan was a lady of rare Christian virtues, and was beloved by all who knew her. She was a kind and true friend and a loving mother, and in her was combined all the qualities which make home attractive and a sacred spot. In the fullness of years, and surrounded by her children, the gentle, loving mother closed her weary eyes and departed for brighter realms. The relatives have the sincere sympathy of all. The funeral will take place to-morrow (Thursday) morning, at 10 o'clock from the Catholic church." Helena Independent, 8/15/1883, page 5.
