Beacon dated November 8, 1864
		(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 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.
