Norfolk Landmark December 27, 1902
The usual number of accidents always attendant upon a holiday celebration were 
recorded, most of which were results of a too-free use of the unreliable toy 
pistol or gun powder in some other form. An exception to the firearm accidents 
was the sad death of Mr. John O’Donnell, who returned to his home, 182 Bermuda 
street, complaining that he felt unwell and was found dead in the morning, 
smothered by pillows and bedclothing. It is supposed that while ill, he became 
unconscious and while helpless was smothered.
The funeral was held yesterday morning from Oliver’s funeral apartments at 10 
o’clock, the Rev. Father Walsh, of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, officiating. 
Interment was made in St. Mary’s Cemetery. The pallbearers were: Messrs. Edward 
C. Cheshire, Joseph J. Hennelly, Patrick J. Lawler, James G. Brownley, T. B. 
Wright and Charles H. Consolvo.
