OBITUARY

William Donohue was born in Clare County, Ireland, January 25, 1829.
He came to America in 1850 and settled in Montgomery county, New York. His 
father’s family consisted of nine children, and with the exception of one all 
are now dead.
He was married to Miss Mary A. Lidy on October 17, 1852. For nearly forty-four 
years they walked lovingly together until God thus suddenly called him home. 
Four children blessed their union-three boys and one girl-all of whom have 
come to years of maturity.
Mr. Donohue moved to Iowa in 1868, settling at York Prairie, Cedar county; at 
which place he lived until two years ago, when he moved to Bennett, where he 
died on Saturday evening 1st inst.
He was converted and joined the Christian Church in New York State many years 
ago. He also connected himself with the same church at York Prairie and was a 
faithful and consistent Christian.
He was greatly interested in his children’s welfare and loved them very 
dearly. He was kind and benevolent and took a great interest in temperance and 
reform work. He had a sunny disposition and was noted for his wit. It is safe 
to say that he brought sunshine into many a life by his jovial manner.
He could always give a reason of the hope within him. He often gave testimony 
to the fact that he was ready for the changes that might await him in the 
future. He rests in peace.
The funeral services were conducted at the M. E. Church, York Prairie, August 
4, 1896. Rev. A. B. Calder preached the sermon, taking for his text II Cor., 
4:18 He was assisted in the service by Revs. W. Huddleson and W.E.McCormack
