Donaldson, who lived alone at her home, 209 West Monroe Street, was found dead in her home Monday evening Jan. 5, 1942 by Sheriff D.A. Wise. Mrs. Nellie Spencer and Seyb Hays, who live west of the Donaldson home, had not noticed any activity around the home during the day and when Mrs. Spencer came home from work Monday evening, they went to the Donaldson home but the doors were locked. Thinking that she had possibly gone somewhere for the day they returned to their home, but a short time later, when it became dark, they noticed a light burning in the dining room of the Donaldson home They again attempted to get in the house but the doors were still locked. Mrs. Spencer then called Sheriff Wise, who, with Chas. E. Long who lives just east of Mrs. Donaldson’s, opened a window on the west side of her home. Sheriff Wise climbed in and directly below this window found Mrs. Donaldson lying on the floor with a small school bell clutched in her hand. The fire in the stove in the dining room was out and a coal oil lamp on the kitchen table joining the dining room was still burning, but the oil was very low. Sheriff Wise unlocked the doors which had been locked from the inside Coroner P.M. Baker was called, and after a thorough examination of Mrs. Donaldson’s body and the surrounding circumstances, it was not thought an inquest necessary. Coroner Baker estimated that she had been dead most of the day Monday. Circumstances led to the belief that she might have become ill while eating her breakfast and went to the adjoining room near her bed, obtained the bell to summon help and fell near the window. There was partly eaten food on the table in the kitchen. Her son, Ray Hitch of Lancaster, was summoned and he had the body removed to Lancaster. Funeral services were conducted at the Presbyterian Church yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock by the pastor, Rev. W.G. Bensberg, who used the following obituary of Mrs. Donaldson: Ida May Mains was born June 7, 1867, at Corntown, Ky. She was the youngest child of a family of eight, all of whom preceded her in death. She grew to womanhood in the same neighborhood where she was born, uniting with the Methodist Church when a girl of thirteen. Thanks to Linda Brown for sharing this obituary.
