Final Tribute Paid To Father Flanagan Boys Town Founder Is Laid To Rest Boys Town, Neb.. May 21 — Il'Pl —His boys paid final tribute to Father Edward J. Flanagan. Shortly after dawn and through a light rain, they walked soberly to Dowd memorial chapel for the funeral of the man who took them off the streets and gave them a home. Moat of them filled the front section of the flower-decked I chapel The remainder helped conduct services for tho priest. A choir >f 60 recruited from Boys Town sang a response of the ’ •o'emn mass of requiem chanted by Father Edmond C. Walsh, acting director of the little home: founded 31 years ago by Father Flanagan. Two former members of Boys ■ Town—the Rev. John L. Farrald. I and the Rev. Leo Kuhn—assisted Father Walsh in mass. A third, the Rev. Msgr Ben Martin, was master of ceremonies. Surrounding the bier of the priest, whose work with youth l attracted world-wide attention.' were a guard of honor from the i Knights of Columbus, two Boy; Scouts, and two members of thei senior class of Boys Town high school. Although the early morning service was primarily for citizens ; of Hoys Town, there were hundreds of others — relatives, emnloyes of the institution, and • 'riends. There were more than 100 former Boys Town citizens in i special section. Father F’anagan died of a heart ; itlment in Berlin May 15. He had I •one to Europe early in March at he request of the army to study Mid welfare problems in Austria Cpon completion of the study e went to Berlin to study tier nan youth problems. He died before completion of ''is mission. Father Walsh's sermon for his iredecessor was taken from Mat •hew 25: 34-36. “Come, ye blessed of My Fa'hr, possess the kingdom prepared *>r you from the foundation of •he world. “For I was hungry and you gave Me to eat: I was thirsty and you gave Me to drink: I was a strang r and you took Me in: “Naked and you clothed Me dck. and you visited Me: I wa* - n prison and you came to Me.” Many of the boys wept at the •onc'usion of the biblical reading Father Walah recited the fam* •tar story of Father Flanagan's "ruffle to build Boys Town, and repeeUsd the famous priest's credo: "There are no bad boys. There is only bad invironment, bad training, had example, bad thinking" A second funeral service, designed for the public, began at 1« a. m It was conducted by Father Flanagan's brother, the Right Rev Msgr. Patrick A. Flanagan After the double service, the body was committed to a torch in the northeast corner of the chapel. The marble slab covering the sarcophagus bore the inscription: “Father Edward J. Fanagan. founder of Bovs Town “Lover of Christ and Man “July IS.
