Obituary

O'DONNELL.

Last evening at the family residence, 1308 west Seventh street, Mrs. Mary O'Donnell, an old-time and highly esteemed resident of Davenport, passed from life to death. For sometime past she had been in feeble health and during the past few weeks her condition had been exceedingly critical.

Everything, however, that medical skill could devise was done to avert the end, but owing to her advanced age and the severity of the attack death was the victor in the unequal battle, and at the hour of midnight she peacefully passed away.
The deceased was a native of County Limerick, Ireland, and was seventy-two years of age. She came to Davenport forty-three years ago and has lived here continuously during all those years. A woman of kindly and sympathetic impulses, she made many warm friends during her long residence in this city and among the wide circle of her acquaintances her death will be generally regretted. The deceased is survived by a son and daughter-James O'Donnell and Mrs. Maria Bennett, both of this city.

The funeral will probably take place Thursday morning, although the arrangements have not as yet been completed.
