General Notes: Husband - Samuel Donnelly
He was born in county Armagh, Ireland, and there attended the public schools, being reared by Thomas Weaver who was a real estate dealer and served dairy products to the County Infirmary for half a century. Learning the plumber's trade he immigrated to the United States, settling first on Long Island, in New York, returning to Ireland three months later and there marrying. The three following years he passed in the homeland, once more coming to the United States and locating in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he was employed at his trade for the Philadelphia Company and Smith & Wiley. About 1886 he moved to Sharpsburg and installed the plumbing fixtures in the first house in Aspinwall, remaining in that locality for eight years. He then once more went to Ireland, where he lived for two years, at the end of that time making his final voyage to America, taking up his residence in East Carnegie and entering the employ of George Lenfestey, by whom he was engaged for two years. Mr. Donnelly subsequently established an independent business and was successfully engaged in plumbing until 1908, when his son William succeeded him as proprietor of the business and the elder Donnelly retired. Mr. Donnelly's political action was always been taken as the friend of the Republican party, while he and his wife held membership in the United Presbyterian Church. He was formerly a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
