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.

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 worth while 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.”
