Special to the JOURNAL.
COLO, August 10.--Mrs. Elizabeth O'Donnell, wife of Martin B. O'Donnell, a well known farmer, living south east of town died Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock after an illness extending over about three weeks time. The funeral services were conducted this morning at ten o'clock by Father Mulcahy of Waterloo, at St. Mary's church. The officiating priest is a cousin of the deceased.

Elizabeth Croker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Croker, was born April 19, 1879, and died August 8, 1906, aged 27 years, 3 months and 19 days. She grew to womanhood on the farm of her parents and graduated from the Colo schools with the class of '97. About a year later she was united in marriage to Martin B. O'Donnell. To this union four sons were born, all of whom survive the mother, and with the husband, father, mother, brothers and sisters will deeply mourn this irreparable loss.

Mrs. O'Donnell was a woman of many excellent qualities and her friends were numbered by her acquaintances. She leaves a host of warm friends who are sincere in their expression of sympathy for the surviving relatives.
