General Notes: Husband - Charles G. O'Donnel


He was born in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, and came to Jefferson County in 1867 with his father. The family located on the site of what became the town of O'Donnel, which was named in honor of his father, and which became the site of one of his sawmills. The son remained at home until twenty years of age, and then went to Fullers Station to take charge of his father's sawmill at that point, where he continued from 1884 until 1889. He was fitted for this work by a two-years' course in Union Business College, Pittsburgh, at which institution he was graduated in 1884. In 1889 he moved to Camp Run, and joined his father in the ownership and management of the mill at that place, which was erected in August, 1889. They employed fifteen men in the mill, which had a capacity of 40,000 feet of lumber per day, and had forty men in the lumber woods. They also owned a half interest in 1,300 acres of excellent timber land, the other half interest being owned by the Andrews Company.
He was a member of the Patriotic Order Sons of America of Emerickville; the Order of United American Mechanics of Knoxdale; and the Knights of Pythias of Reynoldsville. In politics he was a Democrat.
