DEATHS
HASKELL FLANAGAN.
Great sorrow was oocasisned here
esterday morning by the announce
ment that Mr. Haskell Flanagan,
manager of the local plant of the
Texas Oil Company, had died at 4:4"
m. in the Fennell Infirmary at
Rock Hill, S. C. following an onera-
ion for appendicitis performed only
few hours before bv Dr. Fenneli.
Few of his friends here knew that he
was ill. On Sunday, the 15th. he
went to the home of his parents ai
Bowling Green, suffering from an at
tack of appendicitis. His physicians
found that his condition was not fa
vorable for an operation and he was
removed to the Fennell Infirmary
where, it was hoped, he would be in
condition within a few days to under
go an operation. All the Indications
were that he was improving and tae
physicians decided to operate. How
ever, they found his appendix in such
condition that they realized at once
that he could not live. Young Flan
agan revived from the anaesthetic
and talked for some time with his
mother before lapsing into final un
consciousness. He gave his ring to
his mother and enquired if the oper
ation had been successful.
Deceased would have been 25 years
old in September. For several months
past he had been manager of the.
Texas Oil Company's local plant,
with which he held a position for
some time prior to being made man
ager. He was for a year or more pri
or to going with the Texas Company
with H. M. VanSleen, the jeweler.
He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. G. D.
Flanagan, of Bowling Green, who
survive together with two brothers,
Speight and Deaver Flanagan, and
four sisters, Misses Ida, Pearl, Ellen
and Eunice Flanagan.
Funeral services were held at 12:30
o'clock this afternoon at Bowling
Green Presbyterian church, of which
he had been a member since boy
hood. A large congregation or
friends and relatives was present to
pay a last tribute of respect to his
memory. Rev. A. A. Mclean, his
pastor, officiated. Interment was m
the cemetery at that place. Quite a
good many friends from Gastonia at
tended the funeral.
Mr. Flanagan vas a young man of
many sterling qualities and was held
in very high regard by all who knew
him. He lived an exemplary Christian
life and was faithful in the discharge
of all his duties. His death brings
