Judge Flenner Dies

J. D. Flenner, pioneer pastor, journalist, lecturer and litterateur, died at 
6:50 Tuesday morning, at the residence of his son, Guy Flenner Boise, Idaho, 
where he had made his home for the past two years. The direct cause of his 
death was diabetes, from which he had suffered intermittently for 9 years. He 
was in his sixty-sixth year. 

During this time, Mr. Flenner devoted considerable attention to magazine and 
literary work. He represented in Boise practically all of the principal 
newspapers in the east and west, and wrote for a number of magazines, besides 
devoting some attention to platform work. 

Mr. Flenner was a deep reader and a man of exceptional literary taste and 
ability. His contributions to The Statesman and other publications attracted 
wide attention and were extensively copied and quoted. Leading critics 
pronounced his version of the "Passion Play," one of the American literary 
classics. "Syringa Blossoms" a complication of editorial writing won more than 
statewide recognition. He left a number of manuscript, finished and 
unfinished, including the material for two volumes he intended to publish.
