Mr. Flannagan was connected with railroad work in his early years and traveled very extensively over the United States. In 1860 Mr. Flannagan came to Iowa, settling on a farm in Boardman township, where he resided until 1892 when he gave up active farm life and moved to Elkader, where he has since made his home. With his passing Clayton county loses one of its pioneer settlers and one who was respected by all who knew him. He is survived by his wife and three children: Kate, of Chicago; M. J., of Inwood, Iowa; and J. L. at home, and a brother living in North Dakota and a sister at Springfield, Mass.
