Storm Lake Pilot Tribune - Dec 15, 1932 - Mrs A.J. O'Donnell, one of the Storm Lakes well known residents, died at her home, 204 West Second street, Wednesday morning at 6:30 after an illness of some time. Although Mrs O'Donnell had been in ill health for the last six months, few realized that her condition was so serious and her death early Wednesday caused much sadness among her countless friends.

Margaret Agnes Alcox was born at St Charles, Iowa June 2, 1882. She married to Albert Roby at St Charles in the year 1898 and to this union two children were born. They are Cecil Roby of LaPorte, MN and Hazel E Peterson of Storm Lake.

Mr Roby passed away in 1902 in Des Moines where the family resided and after Mrs Roby and the children came to Rockwell City, where in the year 1908 she was married to Mr Albert J O'Donnell, who with the two children survive her. The same year they moved to Storm Lake, where they have since made their home.

Besides her husband and two children, she is survived by four sisters and three brothers, her father, mother, and two brothers having preceded her in death. She also had three grandchildren: Margaret Marie Roby of LaPorte, MN and Robert and Mary Peterson, the latter two with their mother having made their home with her since the death of their father.

Funeral services will be held from the home Friday afternoon. Burial will be in the Storm Lake cemetery.
