AMANDA J. FLENNER
 
  Mrs. Amanda J. Flenner, widow of the late Dr. W. Flenner, for thirty-
eight years, a well-known and highly respected resident of Tyrone, but 
who for the past month has made her residence with her daughter, Mrs. 
A. R. Rhodes, 418 Maple avenue, Altoona, passed away at the home of the 
daughter at 1.45 yesterday afternoon, following an illness of three 
weeks' duration from catarrhal pneumonia.
  She was the youngest daughter of the late George W. and Jane 
(McPherran) Mattern and was born at the old Mattern homestead at Seven 
Stars, Huntingdon county, on January 5, 1845.  On August 20, 1861, at 
the Logan House, Altoona, she was united in marriage to Dr. W. Flenner, 
who preceded his wife to the grave in 1911.  Seven children survive to 
mourn the death of a kind and loving mother.  They are: Albert W., of 
Glen Mills; Harry R., of Erie; Mrs. P. D. Wilson, of Philadelphia; Mrs. 
S. E. Lynn, of Berwick; Mrs. A. R. Rhodes, of Altoona; George S. and A. 
Raymond of Tyrone.  One brother, John S. Mattern, of Seven Stars, also 
survives.
  In 1889, Mrs. Amanda J. Flenner became a member of the First English 
Lutheran church of Tyrone, and was ever one of the church's most active 
and most devoted members.  She was a member of the Dorcas society and 
the Ladies Aid society of that church.  She was a good mother, a kind 
neighbor, and she will be greatly missed in this community, where she 
had lived her life and had come to be known and loved by all who had 
the pleasure of her acquaintance.
  Funeral services, conducted by Rev. E. M. Morgan, her pastor, will be 
held in the Lutheran church of Tyrone, Friday afternoon at 2.30 
o'clock.  Interment in Grandview cemetery.  Short services at the home 
of the daughter in Altoona by Rev. Dr. Stine, will be held at noon 
Friday.
