Reading a series of obituaries from a single cemetery, as they are presented here, is like reading the multi-generational history of a community. These people were the local populace at a particular time. The people buried here knew each other, were neighbors, relatives and school mates. They attended church together and engaged in "trade" or business. All people are listed in alphabetic order by surname at BIRTH. Women identified by a married alias only and for whom a birth surname can not be identified, are listed on the last page for the cemetery's obituaries. Please send in typed obituaries for people buried in our local cemeteries. If possible include name of newspaper and date. Send typed in your email or in attached Word files. Send to Joyce M.

HEFFERNAN ANNA - SHORT ILLNESS IS FATAL TO MRS.
J.J. FLANAGAN
Head of Well Known Business House of This City Passes Away at Her Home on West
Water Street—Remarkable Career.
Mrs. Anna Flanagan, the widow of John J. Flanagan, died Sunday about 3 p.m. at
the family home, 502 West Water Street, after one day’s illness. Mrs. Flanagan,
who was well known as the proprietor of a large dry-goods business on West
Water Street, was at her place of business Friday afternoon, when she became
seriously ill of an attack of acute uremic poisoning. She was removed to her
home and was attended by physicians and nurses but her condition gradually grew
worse and the close of the busy life came quietly yesterday afternoon.
The decedent was born Anna Heffernan, at Troy, Pa., June 19, 1851, and removed
to Elmira with her parents in 1853. She was united in marriage with John J.
Flanagan in June, 1874. Mr. Flanagan had been the proprietor of a dry goods and
notion store on West Water Street from 1873. His store was destroyed by fire,
but his business continued. At his death on August 5, 1888, the successful
business was continued by Mrs. Flanagan and the valuable assistance of her
seven children. The business has increased to a marked degree in the past few
years and now includes three large stores on West Water Street, it being one of
the most substantial business houses in Elmira. Mrs. Flanagan was one of
the most obliging and successful saleswomen in the trade and left no effort
untried in an endeavor to the fill the orders of her patrons. In her home
life she was the beloved mother of a devoted family. She is survived by five
daughters, the Misses Mary A., Elizabeth, Ina, Teresa and Helen; also two sons,
John and Edward. The funeral will be held at the family home
Wednesday at 9 a.m. and at 10 o’clock at the St. Patrick church. Burial in the
SS Peter & Paul Cemetery. No one who was acquainted with Mr. Flanagan
can speak of her passing without feelings of deep emotion. Her whole life,
especially since the death of her husband 25 years ago, had been one of work,
sacrifice, love and beauty—work for her children; sacrifice that others might
enjoy, love that was unsurpassed., and a beauty of character that today is the
remembrance most lovingly cherished by her children. Few mothers, left with
seven little ones, could have had before them a problem so vast as did Mrs.
Flanagan. Resolutely she set herself to the task before her, and conquered,
until the little store which came to her then, broadened and widened to the
present dimensions—but on one will strive to take one iota of credit for this
achievement from the extraordinary woman who accomplished it. Mrs. Flanagan
lived two lives. One was her business side, but in that too, her wonderful
personality was ever present, her kindly nature shone conspicuously. One by one
as the children grew to maturity, they became a part of the business until the
entire seven became her trusted and loyal lieutenants, and gradually from her
shoulders dropped the onerous responsibilities and life became easier for her.
In the store, however she continued to find her greatest delight, for it was
her creation, and there she could be with the children as she was wont to speak
of them. The other life Mrs. Flanagan lived was in the home, and there
she reigned a queen, but no monarch had ever subjects so loyal whose loyalty
was love, and whose every ambition was to promote the happiness of idolized
mother. Deeply religious, Mrs. Flanagan’s faith in the future life was
unshaken. Her faith in a reunion with her was firm, and her last thoughts—not
of fear, nor of regrets—were of resignation and expectant glorification. Mrs.
Flanagan in conversation with the writer, said she never engaged in the
sacrament of the mass that she could restrain her emotion in sympathy with the
trials of the Saylor as unfolded by the symbolism of her religion’s devotions.
It was this sympathetic tenderness that marked her whole nature and which made
people love her. She knew death was near, but that had no terrors for her, for
to her there was something worthwhile beyond--. “Asleep in Jesus!
Peaceful rest! Whose waking is supremely blest; No fear—no
woe can dim the hour - That manifests the Savior’s power.”
