JOHN W. FLAHERTY (d. 1925)
WORLD WAR VET FALLS TO DEATH DOWN STAIRWAY
Skull Fractured by Fall into Cellar at Home of Sister
TWO RIVERS, March 23—His skull crushed in a fall down the cellar stairway the
dead body of John Flaherty, World War veteran, was found by his sister, Miss
Theresa Flaherty, at her home, 1723 Eighteenth street Sunday morning when she
went to the basement to look after the furnace Sunday morning. The death
occurred some time Saturday night but the hour could not be fixed.
Miss Flaherty was in the habit of looking after the furnace personally but had
attended to this duty early Saturday evening because of a visit she wished to
pay to a neighbor. When she returned she went directly to her room, the
discovery of the death did not come until yesterday morning when she again
visited the basement to look after the heating plant. The body was at the bottom
of the stairway and its position indicated that Flaherty had stumbled at the top
of the stairway to pitch headlong to his death.
Mr. Flaherty was born in Brown County thirty-two years ago and came to Two Rivers
at the age of nine. He served with the American forces overseas during the World
War and since his return and discharge has been employed at the plant of the
Hamilton Manufacturing company. He is survived by two sisters, Theresa and Margaret,
both of this city.
The funeral will be held Tuesday morning with services at 9 o’clock at St. Luke’s
Catholic church. Burial will be at Pioneers’ Rest cemetery(sic).
