HASTINGS, Mimi, June 26-The news
of the death of Mrs. Ignatius Donnelly, of
Nininger, which occurred in ST Paul to-
day, was received with profound regret
by her large circle of friends in this city
and vicinity. She was a prominent mem

Mrs Donnely was one of the greatest
amateur singers in the country. She had a
voice majestic in compass. range ana sweet

that she has in her day moved audiences to
tears by her rendition of a simple ballad
She sang for many charitable purposes
Among others, at the request of the late
Horace Thompson, she sang for the Baptist
Church in this city, which was heavily in
debt. The vast crowds that came to heal
her helped the church greatly in raising the
debt. She was also a woman of great
ability and mental power, but without os-
tentation vanity ambition. She was ex-
ceedingly devout and devoted member of
the Catholic Church. She established the
first Catholic Sunday school and church
choir ever organized in Hastings probably
the first in Dakota county, and possibly the
first in the whole state. This was in 1857

The funeral of Mrs. Ignatius Donnelly
took place from the cathedral at 1920 yes
terday morning. The family and imme-
date friends and pall-bearerS gathered at
the residence of her daughter, at 268 Kent
street, at 10 a. m.
The honorary pall-bearers were Thomas
A. Prendergast, P. H. Kelly, Nj. Doran
J. I. Beaumont. H. F. Stevens H. P. Hall,

Paul; DR.. William Thorne, of Hastings;

field.
The cathedral was we'll filled with
friends, who gathered to show their affec-
ton for the dead and respect for the liy-
ing. Father Fitzgerald, of the Church of
the Guardian Angels, of Hastings, was the
celebrant of the solemn requiem mass
Father Flick assisting deacon and
Father McMahan as sub-deacon Upon the
conclusion of the mass, Father Heffron of
the cathedral parish, delivered a brief ser
Christian virtues of the deceased and ut
tered words of comfort for the living.
The top of the casket was literally con-
cealed from sight by the profuse floral
offerings of loving friends and a long pro-
cesson of carriages followed the remains to
Calvary cemetery, where the interment
took place, Father Fitzgerald official ting at
the grave.
Besides the bereaved husband and chill
dren of the deceased, there was present
Mrs. Farrie, of Hastings the widowed Sis
ter of Mrs. Donnelly.
That death brings the living together in
closer bonds was notably manifest upon
this sorrowful occasion. There were many
present at the cathedral yesterday. men
of mature years and with gray hairs, who,
as young men, made their first entry into
active politics in the memorable political
campaign of 1868 as supporters of Mr. Don
nelly, who was the then central figure. In
the years which have elapsed political es-
arrangements have followed, which curtailed
or destroyed personal relations, but beside
the open grave only the friendships of the
past were remembered. and all gathered as
sincere Sympa tiiiZers with Mr.. Donnelly
and the children of his estimabe wife in
the hour of their great affection The sun
shone brightly, almost as if in mockery of
the great sorrow, as Mrs. Donnelly was
laid to rest in beautiful Calvary, but there
is nevertheless sunlight in the lesson of
life which the affective event produces
friendships and companionships. both fam
lily and general, are sundered, not de-
stroyed. The reunion comes in its own
good time.
