(For the Beacon.
Died, on the first day of October, 1864, at her residence seven miles northeast 
of Greensboro, MRS. NANCY CAROLINE FLINN, wife of Anderson Flinn, in the 40th 
year of her age.
The deceased was a native of Alabama, and was born on the 8th day of October, 
1824.  Her maiden name was Barton.  Her mother still lives.  The disease of 
which she died, (inflammation of her liver and bowels,) was painful and 
protracted.  Her sufferings were borne with patience and resignation.  In 
recording the death of this estimable woman, it is due to her memory, and to 
those whom she has left to mourn her loss, to mention some of the more 
prominent traits in her character.  Mrs. Flinn was remarkable for her energy, 
quick judgment, and practical good sense.  She rarely failed of complete 
success in any thing she undertook.  In her family she was frugal and 
industrious.  She greatly excelled in the manufacture of many useful fabrics 
which the existing war has made necessary.  In disposition Mrs. Flinn was meek, 
modest, amiable and affectionate.  In the relations of wife, mother, friend and 
neighbor, her character was well nigh complete.  To these good qualities she 
added the graces of the christian.  She was for many years a consistant member 
of the Methodist Episcopal Church.  She has left nine children, who, while they 
cherish her memory, would do well to imitate her example.
Greensboro, Nov. 8, 1864. J. H. P.
