"Piedmont Herald" Piedmont, West Virginia, Fri 2 May 1924: "
The remains of John T. Flanagan, aged 57 years, who was killed Saturday when he 
fell from the Dodson railroad bridge and was drowned, were brought to his home 
in Westernport Sunday morning. Funeral services were conducted at St. Peter's 
Catholic Church in Westernport Tuesday morning, Rev. Edward McAdams officiating. 
Rev. J. J. Leary was in the sanctuary. Mr. Flanagan had been stationary engineer 
for the Wolf-Den Coal Corporation at Potomac manor, for 17 years. He is survived 
by his widow, two daughters, Misses Rose and Naoma and one son, Roy, all of 
Westernport. Mr. Flanagan was on his way to the train to visit his home in 
Westernport when his death occurred. As he was crossing the bridge his hat blew 
off and when he attempted to recover it, he lost his balance and fell off the 
bridge, striking his head on a rick in the river. Passing across the bridge was 
made difficult by the number of cars thereon."
