' A gloom was cast over this town
and vicinity when it became known
that David M. Donovan, aged about
rs years, one of our most respected
and best citizens had died suddenly
at his home here on Christmas Eve.
Mr.. Donovan was one of those large
/ hearted men who delighted in doing
things to make others happy. He
would gladly sacrifice his own pleas
ures that others might have the
good things in life. Generous to a
fault, always ready to respond to the
wants of those in need. His loss will
be deeply felt by all who knew him.
Mr.. Donovan was a devoted men,
Der of the M. E. Church, and was
! constantly engaged in work for the
benefit of the church. He was the
financial steward and his equal in
this position will be hard to find. He
loved the Sunday school and had
been its efficient superintendent for
many years. The night of his death
he had been present and superinten-
ding the Christmas exercises at the
church.
He was member of Ioka Tribe, I.
o. R. NJ, and held the position of
Chief of Records. He was also a
member of the Junior Mechanics and
was secretary of that order. Both
positions he filled with great eff
cheney.
A few years ago he was retired
from the place of station agent of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
at this point. A position he had Oc-
cupied for over 40 years and was
noted as being one of the most af- /,
fable and accommodating men in the |
employment of the company which
he served so well.
He loved his home and during his
leisure hours could always be found
there, in the company of his devot-
ed wife.
He was a neighbOr and friend in
the true sense of the word and the
writer will feel his loss deeply. His
funeral which was largely attended,
was held from the NJ. 3. Church, at
this place on Monday afternoon at
1:30 o'clock. Rev. Conrad Hamer Of
ficiating. Interment in Red Mems
