From the Montello Sun [Montello, Marquette Co., WI], Nov. 2, 1889, Page 3

Died, at her home in Douglas, October 22, 1889, Mrs. Mary A. DONOHER.

She had been ailing about three weeks, but it was not thought there was any
danger...but about 12 o'clock Monday evening was taken worse and died in a
few hours.

Mrs. DONOHER was born in Kildare County, Ireland, March 1817, and came with
her mother, brothers and sister to America in 1828, and settled in Boston,
where she married Peter DONOHER in 1845. They came to Wisconsin in 1851 and
settled on the farm where she died. Death having deprived her of her
husband in 1868, she was left as the only guide for their fmaily of seven
children, and their welfare was always her chief interest.

Of the seven children--Mrs. John and Mrs. James McKANNA, of Montello; Frank
of Butte City, Montana; James, Kate, Annie and Agnes, who live at their
home in Douglas--all were present at the funeral except Frank. Though they
have all grown to manhood and womanhood, they will greatly miss their
mother...(text cut off on copy from microfilm)
