Miss Laura C. Flinn, a native of Newport and for 30 years Superintendent of the Women's Department of the Pennsylvania Hospital for nervous and Mental Diseases, formerly known as Kirkbride's, died yesterday in Philadelphia where she had been living in retirement.
A sister of the late Dr. Irvine Flinn of this city and of the late U. S. Marshal William R. Flinn of Newport, Miss Flinn was well known to many Delawareans. Her administration of the affairs of the women's department at the famous Philadelphia asylum gained wide recognition.
Although she retired from her position a number of years ago and had been inactive, Miss Flinn enjoyed health, and her death came as a shock to relatives and friends here. She was 83 years old. Miss Flinn was born and reared in Newport, was educated there and in Wilmington and lived in this vicinity until she took the position at Kirkbride's. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Funeral services will be held from the home of a nephew, Arthur C. Gamble, of 215 North Walnut Street, Newport, tomorrow afternoon at 1:30. Burial will be in St. James' Cemetery, Newport.
