From Proceedings, Page 1933-95:
On May 3 the sad news reached us of the passing of Most Worshipful Dana J. Flanders, our loved and honored senior living Past Grand Master, after a long period of failing strength. In spite of the infirmities of the body, however, his brilliant mind retained to the very last its keen interest in all that concerned the Fraternity he loved so dearly, and which had honored him by entrusting to his care as Grand Master the direction of its destinies and fortunes. Up to a few months ago he attended with great regularity the meetings of Grand Lodge and of the Board of Directors, in whose deliberations he took an active and interested part.
His funeral services took place on a sunny afternoon in May at the church he so dearly loved, the First Universalist of Malden, and in the affairs of which he maintained the keenest interest to the day of his death. A great outpouring of Masons attended the services, and the beautiful offerings of flowers testified to the love and affection in which he was held by those in every walk of life. The service was gently simple, exactly as he would have had it, and was concluded, in accordance with his expressed wish, by the repetition of the Lord's Prayer in which the entire congregation joined. It was a beautiful service, and held no hint of gloom or unreasoning grief, more like a gathering of loving friends, come to sit for a space with their departed Brother, serene in their faith that in the words of the Master, he had but gone before to prepare a place for those that love Him.
