Donahey, aged 74 years, 4 months and 24 days. In the death of Mr. John C. Donahey another of our oldest, most respected and best citizens have been called from earth to his eternal home. He was one of those men who made friends and kept them by his genial personality, - who was honest in all obligations, - who was true to home, family, church , state and nation, - who believed in all things calculated to upbuild the community, and promote morality and religion, - who lived in the world that his living would be of benefit and an example worthy of imitation to those who live after him, - who met all responsibilities that came to him with firmness and accepted them as a duty to be faithfully performed. John C. Donahey was born in Harrison county, Ohio, Nov. 2, 1832. His father died in 1839 and his mother in 1849. He then lived with his uncle in Jefferson county until he was 21, when he went to Holmes county, where he worked as a carpenter. He came to Muscatine county, Iowa, in 1866; to a farm in Buena Vista township, Jasper county, in 1883; and to Newton in 1892, where he has since resided. He was married in Holmes county, Ohio., March 13, 1856, to Miss Eliza Uhl. To this union six children were born, one dying in infancy. Four sons and one daughter, who with the mother survive him, and all of whom were present at the funeral. The children are J. H. Of Gearing, Neb., Ed. S. Of Redfield, S. D. , W. S. Of Des Moines, D. E. And Clementine of Newton. Mr. Donahey was a member of the 19th General Assembly of Iowa, was a sergeant in Co. L. 166th Ohio National Guard, a member of the Jasper County Board of Supervisors for six years, and a member of the Methodist Church from early manhood, in all of which he was true to his obligations, serving with great acceptance. Mr. Donahey had been a strong, healthy man, but of last few years has suffered from a physical debility that gave him great pain. To remove this he went to the Newton Sanitorium, where last week he was operated upon by Dr. Litteg, of the Iowa City University, one of the most expert surgeons of the state. The operation was a most successful one, and the patient so far rallied under it, that until a few minutes before his death he was visiting with friends and was merry with them. After their departure the nurse noticed that he was gasping for breath, and in a few minutes life was extinct. The funeral was held from the house at 2:00 p.m. On Friday, Rev. Willits officiating, and the body interred in the Newton Cemetery.
