Life of W. P. FLANERY

T. J. FLANERY has returned from Owsley county, where he was summoned by a telegram announcing the death of his father, W. P. FLANERY.

W. P. FLANERY was born in Lee county, Va., June 28, 1824. He moved to Owsley county, Kentucky, in 1849. He died Feb. 3, 1907, aged 83 years and 6 days. His first wife, Susan Spivey, was the mother of six children, of whom four are living and two dead. His second wife, Jane WILLIAMS, preceded him to the land of shadows one year ago. She was the mother of four children all living except one.

Mr. FLANERY was a man of unusual prominence in the community where he lived and universally esteemed. Having served as justice of the peace a number of years he was a high oracle among his friends and neighbors who referred to him in all matters of law involving any points of difficulty in the settlement of affairs.

He united with the Disciples church about eight years before his death and was baptized by the Rev. Mr. Ball, who also officiated at the funeral. His remains were laid to rest at the old family burying ground at the forks of Buck creek, Owsley county, Feb. 5, 1907, attended by many friends and relatives.
