Wm. Donner died last Thursday at the home of his son, Wm., in this city. Mr. Donner was born in Mechlenburg, Germany, and at his death was 83 years of age. Coming to this country in the early 60’s, he settled in Iowa, where he resided until about thirty-two years ago when he moved to Nebraska where he has since resided.
For the past four years he has resided with his son in this city.
A short funeral service was held at the house on last Saturday and the body taken to Germantown, Nebraska, his former home, where, after a short funeral service, interment was made.
