Mr. O'Donnell was never married and leaves only a cousin, Mary Byrnes, who came from Ireland about ten years ago and had kept house for him; a nephew, Francis O'Donnell of Colo and nieces, Alice O'Donnell of Minnesota, Mrs. Gayton Huhn of near Nevada, Pauline O'Donnell of Marshalltown and Mrs. Clifford Buffington of Colo.
