  FRAMES FOR THE FUTURE Iron River area centennial book page 396 "Thomas Flanagan Family" Iron River's first school master was Thomas Flanagan. He was born in Freedom, Wisconsin near Appleton on March 20, 1858. Tom's parents were John and Margaret (Cleary) Flanagan who were natives of County Westmeath, Ireland. Mr. Flanagan was married to Mary Hayes and came to Iron River in 1881 when it was a small mining hamlet and resided here continually until his death in 1928 at age 70. Tom accepted a position as school master in the fall of 1881 and continued in that work the following year. He received his education at Lawrence College in Appleton. Mr. Flanagan received his teacher's permit by passing an examination in Marquette, which at that time was the county seat of this district, also a part of Marquette County. The school in which Mr. Flanagan taught was a log building next to what is now Selin's Furniture Store on Genesse Street at Fourth. Many of Iron River's prominent citizens attended school under his instruction. In 1882 Mr. Flanagan was honored by being made first clerk of the newly organized Iron River Township. After completing 11 years as township clerk he was elected treasurer, a position he held for two years. He was then elected township supervisor, a position he held for three years. Later, when Iron River became incorporated as a village, Mr. Flanagan was appointed police marshall. Tom and Mary were the parents of seven children: Edward, Clement, Lillian, Eulalia, Clarence, Chester and Margaret. Clement, Lillian, Eulalia and Margaret were all educators. Margaret, or "Nad" as she was known, served as principal of the James and Lincoln schools. Clarence was a medical doctor and practiced in Menominee for many years. Eulalia was married to L.C. (Sharkey) Brazell of Iron River and Lillian to Mike Schroeder of Vulcan. Tom and Mary had 13 grandchildren, two of whom, Mrs. Carl W. Anderson (Peggy Flanagan) and Chester H. Flanagan, live in Iron River. Chester married Judith Nolingberg of Iron River and Clement married Ethel Bagley of Gaastra.
