Virginian-Pilot  February 9, 1907
The funeral of the late David F. Donovan was solemnized from St. Mary's Catholic 
church at 10 o’clock yesterday morning and was largely attended by friends and 
delegations from the Board of Trade and Business Mens’ Association, the banks and 
other business institutions.
Requiem mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Doherty. Rev. Father Walsh and Rev. 
Father Kelliher occupied seats in the sanctuary.
At the conclusion of the mass, Father Doherty, who had known and was intimately 
associated with the deceased for many years, delivered a beautiful eulogy on his 
life and character.
During the service, Mrs. James Hughes rendered as a solo, “Abide With Me." There 
was a profusion of lovely floral tributes, among which were the following. An 
immense bunch of roses from the officers and directors of the National Bank of 
Commerce; a standing wreath from the officers and directors of the Merchants and 
Mechanics’ bank; a pillow from the Seaboard Fire and Insurance Company, and a lyre 
from the Atlantic Creosoting Works. The remains were laid to rest in St. Mary's 
cemetery and the pallbearers were as follows:
Honorary—N. Beaman, Robert Johnson, W. H. Wales, James W. McCarrick, William Hart, 
B. W Leigh, W. C. Cobb and Major Tazewell Thompson.
Active—John R. Coleman, John F. Lawler, W. M. Hannon, Patrick Hart, M. McKevitt,
