In 1913, Flagler fell down a flight of marble stairs at Whitehall. He
never recovered from the fall and died of his injuries on May 20 at 83
years of age.
He was entombed in the Flagler family mausoleum at Memorial
Presbyterian Church in St. Augustine alongside his first wife, Mary
Harkness; daughter, Jenny Louise; and granddaughter, Marjorie. Only
his son Harry survived of the three children by his first marriage in
1853 to Mary Harkness.

When looking back at Flagler's life after his death on May 20,
1913, George W. Perkins, of J.P. Morgan & Co., reflected, "But that
any man could have the genius to see of what this wilderness of
waterless sand and underbrush was capable and then have the
nerve to build a railroad here, is more marvelous than similar
development anywhere else in the world."
