Death of Frank Donnelly

            Frank E. Donnelly died at his home in South Sioux City 
Monday morning, August 21, after an acute illness of several months. 
Mr. Donnelly was born at Niobrara, this state about fifty-two years 
ago. His early life was spent on the plains of the Dakota and Nebraska, 
where he followed the cattle business to a great extent.  He also was 
connected with steam boating on the Missouri River for a number of 
years and was well known from the head of the that stream in Montana 
down toward Kansas City. He was a man of great energy and large ability. 
He had a faculty for making money, but had no desire to accumulate wealth. 
He was free hearted and generous to a fault. 

            Mr. Donnelly was one of the first to engage in business in 
Wynot, where he conducted a saloon until two years ago, when he removed 
to Obert to engage in the same business. He resided there until a few 
days ago, when he removed with his wife to South Sioux City. 

            He leaves a wife, and one brother at Springfield, S.D., besides 
a large number of other relatives.

            The immediate cause of Mr. Donnelly’s death was dropsy of the 
heart, with complications.

            The remains were shipped to Springfield, S.D., Tuesday, burial 
being had in the family lot at that place on Wednesday.
