He was married there to Miss Sarah Ann Heath, and eight children were born to them, one of whom, a son, died in infancy. Mrs. Donart died in Stillwater, May 16, 1921. The seven surviving children were with their father at the eime of his death, except G.H. Donar, who was unable to come from Los Angeles, Calif., on account of the quarantine.

He established a farm there, and lived there with his family for thirty-one years. Originally he was a carpenter and contractor, and in the early days he built a few houses in Stillwater, but nearly all his life was spent at farming.

Mr. Donart was a member of the United Brethren church, but was affiliated with no lodge.
