Obit: Donna K. Donovan Died: Friday, October 12, 2001
Age: 94
Miss Donna K. Donovan, age 94, of Sullivan Terrace, Dushore, PA, passed away on Friday, Oct. 12, 2001 at Dorrance Manor, Kingston, after a brief illness.

Donna was born in Dushore on Oct. 19, 1906, a daughter of the late Henry and Addie J. Diltz Donovan.

She graduated from the Cherry Township High School, a member of the Class of 1924. She attended Lock Haven Normal School and became a teacher. She taught in Cherry Township and also in Elkland Township. She was the clerk at Pealer's Drug Store in Dushore for a number of years.

In 1971, Donna, Phoebe Kelley and Alice Taylor set up the Sullivan County Loan Closet, which supplied cancer patients' supplies, wheelchairs, hospital beds, crutches, etc. for needy recipients, all at no cost. The funds to purchase all the equipment and supplies were raised by the ladies and endless other volunteers by running rummage sales. The sales were preceded by many hours of sorting and sizing by the ladies. The three ladies retired from the Loan Closet in 1999.

Donna also enjoyed reading, knitting and doing crossword puzzles.

Donna was a member of Zion Chapel, Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, Dushore.

She was predeceased by two brothers, Ralph Donovan of Edwardsville, Phil Donovan of Elmira, NY and three sisters, Ruth Perozzi of Mildred, Nellie Cady of Binghamton, NY and Dorothy Rosettie of Beaver Dam, NY.

Surviving are several nephews.

Funeral services were held on Wednesday, Oct. 17 at 11 a.m. at the P. Dean Homer Funeral Home, 206 Water St., Dushore, with the Rev. Eddie A. Nilsen, her pastor, officiating. Interment was in Old Zion Cemetery, Dushore.

Re: Dennis Donavan, New Orleans LA

My great-grandfather is S. John DONAVAN, b ~1837 Ireland. He arrived in the U.S. about 1850 during the Potatoe Famine. The first record I have is the 1860 census of Tishomingo Co. MS, when he was working for the RR. He married Nancy Emeline MURPHY in McNairy Co. TN in 1862. They had 10 children, the last 3 being born in Dallas Co., TX after 1880. A family story says he came to America with his mother, her sister,& two of his brothers, one of whom was married. Since my records are nearer New Orleans than NY, I have guessed they arrived in New Orleans--Can you help me find some ancestry for my John DONAVAN? He could not read or write and his name is misspelled Dunevan, Dunnegan, etc. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

MAN SHOT at BEAR VALLEY -- The Mariposa 'Star' gives the following account of a fatal shooting affair at Bear Valley:

On Saturday last a man by the name of P.P. DONNAVAN was killed by another by the name of KING, at Mr. HALL's boarding house, at the Pine Tree vein. The difficulty occurred at the dinner table, and originated in a
dispute about hauling quartz. The lie passed, when DONNOVAN [spelled 2 ways] struck his opponent. Plates and other missiles were then used, and finally they clinched. DONNOVAN, being the stoutest man, got the advantage, and beat KING pretty badly, when KING called on the spectators to separate them.

Afterwards they renewed the quarrel and DONNOVAN struck him again. KING seized a large carving knife, and DONNOVAN told him if he wanted to fight with weapons he would fight him that way, and started for his pistol. On his return, KING had also procured one, and the shooting commenced. 6 shots were fired, 2 of which from KING's pistol took effect on DONNOVAN -- 1 in his breast and the other in his side, from which he shortly died. KING gave himself up and upon examination was acquitted.

Erma, Racheal, Mary Linda m. William Alexander Wyatt, Harry, Charles, William, and James Arthur b 08/07/1888 d 1980 m. Mary Ethel (Seward).

TLClifton — 2004-06-06 20:32:39Z

Robert and Sarah were married in 1845 in Sussex County DE. They are found on the 1860 and 1870 census there. I've been unable to locate them in 1850. Children were: Mary J c1845, Philip Henry 1851, Julia C c1852, Jonathan T c1855, Robert 1857, Anne 1861, George 1863, Lydia 1867, Noble 1872. Sarah died prior to 1880, but Robert and some of the children are listed in Sussex. Does anyone recognize this family?
