Obituary

Sep 13, 1928

The Llano News-Thurs., Sept. 13, 1928-"James Flack Dead-James Flack, for years one of the
most prominent attorneys in Central Texas, died at his home in Menard, after a protracted illness of
the past two or three years. Judge Flack and family resided in Llano for a long number of years
when he practiced law in this town and was regarded as one of the most successful criminal
lawyers anywhere in this section of the state. Some twenty years ago, he and his family moved
from here to San Saba, and then moved to Menard where he has since resided. Judge Flack is
survived by his wife and three sons, Joe and James of Menard and Frank of Fort Worth and many
other relatives. The funeral services were conducted at the Presbyterian church in Menard Sunday
afternoon at four o'clock after which the remains were laid to rest in the cemetery of that town. The
death of Judge Flack came as a great shock to his many Llano friends, although they knew his
condition and were aware of the fact that the end could not be far off. Deceased was a member of
the Presbyterian church, was a worthy and progressive citizen, and his devotion for his family was
beyond description. In his death Central Texas loses one of its most influential and successful
attorneys...extend their sympathy to the bereaved family in their hour of deepest sorrow."

Burial

James Flack
Nov. 9, 1860
Sept. 13, 1927
(Note: I used the 1928 year for the death year because of the obituary I found in "The Llano
News". Also, I did not put a day in September because the article was written after the funeral.
The tombstone has Sept. 13, but I think he died prior to the 13th. I could not find a TX death
certificate online at Family Search to verify this; I believe that his name must have been misspelled
so it didn't come up in the search.)²
