Civil War Union Soldier. He enlisted in Company G, 7th New Jersey Volunteer Infantry at age 19, and was promoted to Corporal on February 17, 1863. He participated in the Spring 1862 Peninsular Campaign, the 2nd Battle of Bull Run, the Antietam and Fredericksburg Campaigns, and the Battle of Chancellorsville. On the 2nd Day of the Battle of Gettysburg, he was killed in action while standing with his unit as it tried unsuccessfully to stem the tide of attacking rebels near Emmitsburg Road. First buried on Abraham Trostle's farm, he was re-interred in the National Cemetery, where he rests today under a marker that misspells his name "Flanagen".
