Patrick Flanagan, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Flanagan of 530 Eighteenth avenue, passed away at his home at 9:15 o'clock Friday night, after an illness of six months duration.

The funeral will be held from St. Mary's church at 9 o'clock Monday morning, Very Rev. E. J. McLaughlin officiating. Requiem mass will be celebrated, and the remains will be laid to rest in St. Mary's cemetery.

Patrick Flanagan was born in Clinton on February 18, 1876, and always made his home here. He was educated in St. Mary's school, and as a boy, served on the altar at St. Mary's. After leaving school he entered the employ of F. Smith & Sons box manufacturers, and for many years was a valued employe of that company, leaving his work only when illness compelled his retirement from active work. He was popular among a wide circle of friends in Clinton, and his untimely death is mourned by all.

Surviving the deceased are his parents, one brother, James Flanagan of Chicago, and a sister, Mrs. Jake Horwath of Joliet, Ill.
