Cascade Pioneer, Dec. 28, 1916

WORTHY WOMAN CALLED

Mrs. Mary Donovan passed away at her home in Cascade Sunday, December 24, after 
an illness of a few days. Mrs. Donovan's maiden name was Mary McCarthy and she 
was born in County Cork, Ireland, February 2, 1844. She came to the United 
States with her parents in 1854 when they settled in the Garry Owen parish in 
Jackson County, Iowa. On June 2, 1864 she was united in marriage to Patrick 
Donovan, one of the pioneer settlers of Butler Township. They lived upon the 
farm until the Spring of 1907 when they retired and moved to Cascade. On August 
2, 1907, Mr. Donovan passed away.

Mrs. Donovan is survived by the following children: Mrs. P. C. Phillips of 
Dubuque, Frank Donovan of Toledo, Ohio, William Donovan of Coggon, Mrs. John 
Burke and Mrs. Joseph Burke, Jr., of Bernard, Michael and Miss Elizabeth of 
Cascade; four children preceded her in death.

Mrs. Donovan was one of those splendid, self-sacrificing women, whose life 
devotion was to minister to her beloved family, and in whose heart was implanted 
a deep and abiding reverence for her holy religion. She went to her final rest 
fulfilled by the sacrament and with implicit trust in a glorious resurrection.

The funeral services were held in St. Martin's Church Tuesday forenoon, Rev. L. 
Roche officiating. The remains were then conveyed to the cemetery at St. 
Patrick's Church, Garry Owen and laid beside those of her departed husband and 
children.
