- After one week's illness with pneumonia, Peter O'Donnell passed peacefully away at his home two miles north of the village, at 10:20 o'clock yesterday morning, aged 59 years. The deceased came here from Calumet county three years ago, having purchased F. B. Perrigo's farm of 40 acres, to which he subsequently added 200 more acres. Mr. O'Donnell was a hard working, honest gentleman, and though his residence here had been a comparatively brief one, he had gained the respect and esteem of all whom had formed his acquaintance. He is survived by a sorrowing wife and four children-two sons and two daughters.
