General Notes: Husband - Capt. Daniel M. Donehoo

---

He grew up in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and early in life learned the trade of a millwright, and engaged in building mills. He followed that business until 1862, when he resolved to enlist in the army. He took an active part in raising the 17th Cavalry, and on the organization of the regiment was elected colonel, but the order was to commission regular soldiers only as colonels of cavalry, so he accepted the rank of captain. He was soon afterward injured while trying to capture a deserter, and resigned and returned home. In 1864 Captain Donehoo engaged in the oil producing business, which he continued until 1866. He was engaged in the construction of railroads for four years. He was a Master Mason, and was always an active Democrat. He was appointed postmaster in 1887. He was the Democratic candidate for the state senate in 1862, and was defeated although he ran largely ahead of his ticket. He was census marshal in Beaver County in 1860, and again in 1880. He was many times a representative in Democratic state conventions, and once in the national convention.
