Daily Times, Davenport, Scott, Iowa, Nov 5, 1895

O'DONNELL
Last evening at the family residence, 1308 west Seventh street, Mrs. Mary
O'Donnell, an old-time and highly esteemed resident of Davenport, passed
from life to death. For sometime past she had been in feeble health and
during the past few weeks her condition had been exceedingly critical.
Everything, however, that medical skill could devise was done to avert the
end, but owing to her advanced age and the severity of the attack death was
the victor in the unequal battle, and at the hour of midnight she peacefully
passed away.
The deceased was a native of County Limerick, Ireland, and was seventy-two
years of age. She came to Davenport forty-three years ago and has lived here
continuously during all those years. A woman of kindly and sympathetic
impulses, she made many warm friends during her long residence in this city
and among the wide circle of her acquaintances her death will be generally
regretted. The deceased is survived by a son and daughter-James O'Donnell
and Mrs. Maria Bennett, both of this city.
The funeral will probably take place Thursday morning, although the
arrangements have not as yet been completed.
