Henry Flanagan, son of Patrick Flanagan of Hazlet, died at the home of his parents last Wednesday, aged 37 years. Death was caused by consumption. Mr. Flanagan had been employed at New York for several years but he made his home with his parents. A week before his death he realized that his end was near and he selected six of his friends to act as his pall bearers. They were Thomas H. Walling, Edwin Sproul, Richard Somers, John Higgins, James Hanaway and John Hylin.
