"OBITUARY, ST. PETER HERALD, FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1915, FRONT PAGE



FRANK DONNELLY PASSES AWAY

Just before noon last Monday, Frank Donnally, an old and well known 

resident of St. Peter, died at his home on Front street. Mr. Donnelly had 

been in failing health for the last two years, having been a sufferer 

with nephritis. Five days before his death he was compelled to take to 

his bed. Mr. Donnelly, who was 82 years of age, was born in Londonderry, 

Ireland, and came to this country when twenty years of age. After coming 

to America he made his home in Wisconsin until the opening of the Civil 

war, when he went to Alabama, where he remained until its close. Later he 

came to Minnesota and settled in Waseca county, but for the last forty 

years he had made his home in St. Peter. When he first came here he was 

engaged in railroad work, and then was employed by A.J. Lamberton. For 

the last twenty years, however, he had been employed as coachman by F.A. 

Danahower. Mr. Donnelly was an upright man, and was universally 

respected. In 1867 he was married in Waseca county to Miss Jennie Murphy, 

who remains to mourn the death of her husband. Of their nine children, 

six are still living. They are: Mrs. P.L. McCabe, Cologne, S.D.; Frank 

Donnelly, St. Paul; Mrs. J.W. Farrell, Madison Lake; John Donnelly, 

Salmon City, Idaho; Peter Donnelly, Omaha, Neb., and Miss Helen Donnelly, 

Omaha, Neb., and Miss Helen Donnelly, Madison Lakel Funeral services were 

held from St. Peter's Catholic church at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning, 

and the interment was in Calvary cemetery.
