- DEATH CLAIMS L. B. FLANNERY THIS WEEK
Prominent Rowan Countian Dies At Bluestone Home
Lonnie B. Flannery, 67, prominent Rowan County farmer and a community leader, died at his home near Bluestone Saturday morning following a lingering illness.
Mr. Flannery had been in failing health for two years. During the past few months, his condition had become worse and ten days prior to his death he had been confined to his bed.
Born in Elliott County on September 14, 1877, the son of Rufus and Maggie Elliott Flannery, he moved to a farm near Bluestone 46 years ago. He resided there until his death.
In 1896 he married Martha Bell Alderson. To this union eleven children were born. Two died in their youth, leaving his widow and nine children as survivors. The surviving children are: Ray Flannery, Mrs. Bessie Gilkerson, Mrs. Gladys Lacey ad Rufus Flannery, all of Morehead; Mrs. Rose Carpenter of Dayton, Ohio; Leonard Flannery and Delmar Flannery, both of Muncie, Indiana; Mrs. Pruda Shay of Bluestone; Mrs. Beulah Dillon, of New York; and Woodrow Flannery, now in the United States Navy, now serving in the South Pacific.
Other survivors include a sister, Mrs. Julia Haney, of Dayton; three brothers, Clyde Flannery of New Castle, Indiana; Jason Flannery of Bluestone; and Chauncey Flannery of Sandy Hook.
All the children, except Woodrow, and all the brothers and sisters were here for the funeral.
Funeral rites were conducted Monday at the Siloam Church of God. Mr. Flannery helped build this church. The rites were conducted by Rev. Manning of Morgan County and Rev. Zack Haney. Burial was in the Siloam Cemetery.
Mr. Flannery was active for many years in politics, being a leader of the Democratic Party in his community. He was always interested in progressive farming and practiced this on his own farm which consists of several hundred acres of very fertile land in the Triplett Creek Valley. He took an active part throughout his life in anything progressive for the county.
One of the pioneers of his community and of Rowan County, he was very active in helping secure good roads and schools.
Although he was not a member of any church, he was converted before his death.
Funeral arrangements were handled by the Lane Funeral Home.
