"The sudden death of Mrs. Ed D. Donnell, 76, whose husband died April 11, announced in a bulletin in the Daily News Saturday, brought great sorrow to her many friends here. She passed away at her home at 5372 E. Washington street Saturday. Her son, Dr. C. E. Donnell, wife and granddaughter, Mary Elizabeth, had lived with her since the passing of her husband.
"Mrs. Donnell had not been well since a serious accident four years ago when she and her late husband were victims of an auto wreck two miles north of Shelbyville. As a result she was in the Major hospital at Shelbyville for several weeks.
"The deceased maiden name was Ollie O. Rogers. She was the daughter of Edward H. and Mary Jane (Shaw) Rogers and was born at Vevay March 23, 1868, and came to Greensburg in 1876. She was married to Ed D. Donnell, a Greensburg newspaper man, Feb. 22, 1888. They were located in Greeley, Colo., from 1890 to 1893 and returned to Greensburg and lived here until 1910 when they moved to Indianapolis where Mr. Donnell was for many years state printer.
"Mrs. Donnell was a beautiful woman in appearance and character and possessed a pleasing personality. She sang in the Christian church choir for many years and also was heard in other churches of the city and in musical events generally. She was prominent in musical circles and in society here and had many warm personal friends.
"Mrs. Donnell was a member of Irvington chapter, Order of the Eastern Star; the Irvington Coterie Club, the Monday Club, the Heyl Study Club, Delphian Society and the Downey Avenue Christian church.
"Besides the son, wife and granddaughter, she leaves three nephews and a niece: Roger Moulton of Indianapolis, Ed and Da Batterton and Mrs. Frank Marlin of Greensburg. A brother, David Rogers, died in Cincinnati about 80 years ago. A sister, Mrs. Jennie Moulton, died at her home, Nov. 15, 1932, and another brother Stephen F. Rogers, died in this city March 23, 1933. She is the last of the family.
"Funeral services will be held in the home at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, conducted by the Rev. Charles H. Winders, assisted by the Rev. Bert R. Johnson, pastor of the Downey Avenue Christian church. The body will be brought to South Park cemetery here where a short service will be held at the grave where the casket will be opened at 11:30."
