Mrs. Elizabeth DonLevy, widow of the late James DonLevy, passed away on Wednesday morning, after a protracted illness, the last year of which she was confined to her bed. Her husband and their son William died about a year ago. Mrs. DonLevy was in her 78th year and had lived in Oconto with her family since August 1856, having at that time come here from Geneva, N.Y.

She was highly esteemed by a large circle of friends and neighbors, who deplore her death, the deferred long beyond the three score and tens years.

Six sons - James A., Homer, Peter, George, Albert and Frank - and a daughter Mrs. Lizzie Waggoner of Green Bay survive her. Funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Fr. Lochman, at St. Joseph's Church, this morning, and the body of the deceased was escorted to its last resting place by a large concourse of people.
