Virginian Pilot July 11, 1899

The many friends of Mr. William Donovan in Norfolk will learn with sorrow of his 
demise, which sad event occurred at his home, No. 560 East Main Street, at 10:40 
a.m. yesterday. Mr. Donovan had been in failing health for some months and his 
death though not altogether unexpected is a great bereavement to his family and 
other kindred. He was in the 54th year of his age and was one of our best known 
and most highly respected citizens and for a number of years a most successful 
business man. He was a consistent member of St. Mary's Catholic Church, from 
which his funeral will be held at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.
                               ************
