JAMES DONOVAN
April 3, 1908
The people of this community were shocked on Thursday morning to learn of the death of James E. Donovan, of Charlotte township, which occurred at his late home at about four o'clock. While Mr. Donovan's condition was known to be of a serious nature, and his health had been poor most of the winter, few realized that the end was so near.
James Edward Donovan was born in Knox county, Illinois, June 25, 1858, and came to Charlotte township with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. Donovan in 18??. Since that time he had made his home on the farm where his death occurred. On October 15, 1887, he was united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth O'Neil, of this city, who preceded him to the other world, February 10, 1903. The union was blessed by six children, three daughters and three sons, namely; Harold, Mary, Nellie, James, Alice and William. In addition to the bereaved children, deceased is survived by his aged parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. Donovan, of this city, three sisters and three brothers--Mrs. Kate Scheible, of Kankakee; Mrs. Etta Hart, of Ottawa; Mrs. Nellie Deaney, of Rantoul; John, of Chatsworth township; Timothy, of Kankakee; Thomas F., of Joliet --who, with a large circle of friends, mourn the loss of one honored and respected by all who knew him.
The funeral will take place tomorrow (Saturday, morning), leaving the home at about nine o'clock. Services will be held at SS. Peter and Paul's church, conducted by Rev. Father W.J. Burke, at ten o'clock, and will be attended by the members of the K. of C. and M.W. of A. lodges, of which deceased was a member. Interment will take place at St. Patrick's cemetery.
