General Notes: Husband - William R. Donahey

---

Buffalo Twp, Washington Co, PA

He was ordained an elder in Buffalo Presbyterian Church in 1853, and served until his death. Much of his time and means were spent in behalf of his fellow-men. In his youthful days he taught school, which he took great delight in, as it opened many ways for usefulness in after years. He took special delight in the Sabbath-school, and was for many years elected superintendent of Buf­falo Sabbath-school.
