Death Summons Beloved Pioneer Citizen Thursday«/b»
John Donwen Passed Away at Highland Park Home After Several Months of Illness
Funeral Services were Held Monday Morning
Highly Esteemed by Many Admiring Friends: Will be Missed Among His Neighbours
Seldom has a death occurred in Jackson that created more universal sorrow than when the news that John Donwen had passed away at the Donwen family residence, 208 Emily Street, Thursday, May 1, following several months of declining health, largely caused by his advanced age.
Mr. Donwen was a gentleman widely known for his pleasing personality and splendid citizenship, in fact it was an honour to enjoy his acquaintance an share in the goodwill he contributed to the community in which for many years he had been a leading citizen. Not only was Mr. Donwen active in church circles, but he also was always ready and willing to assist in any worthy cause that had for it's purpose the making of Jackson a better and more progressive city.
For many years the Donwen family resided in the Wisconsin township community where Mr. Donwen was engaged in farming, but in 1920 he decided to retire from the farm and when the Donwen's purchased the beautiful home in Highland Park where they have since resided and where they were beloved by their neighbours and friends, in fact to have know the Donwens and to have been privileged to be their friends was indeed a distinctive honour.
Probably one of the happiest of epochs enjoyed in the long and busy lives of Mr. and Mrs. Donwen, was the privilege on January 12, 1934, of celebrating the anniversary of their golden wedding and when their children and neighbours joined with them in a day of real celebration, indeed, a pleasant memory that will long be treasured by their children in the future years.
John Donwen was born at Wincheringen, Prussia, Germany, October 6, 1855, immigrating to American in 1882, when he settled at Cabery, Illinois, and where on January 12, 1884, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Schmidt. They made their home on a farm near Cabery until 1912when they came to Jackson County. The union of Mr. and Mrs. Donwen was blessed with the birth of twelve children, eighth of which, together with Mrs. Donwen, survive a kind husband and indulgent father. The children are John Donwen, Nick Done, William Donwen, Mrs. Albert Blizek, Mrs. Joseph Maras of Jackson; Mrs. Louis Soucek of Minneapolis; Mrs. S. Weisenhofer of Hastings, Michigan; and Mrs. O. E. Verdick of Alpha. Three daughters and one son preceded their father in death.
Funeral services were held from the home Monday morning at 8.30 and from the St. Wenceslaus' Catholic church of which the deceased was a devout member, at 9 o'clock, with Rev. Father Felton officiating, and at which time many beautiful floral tributes were in evidence as testimony of the high standing in which Mr. Donwen was held by his many neighbours and friends. Pallbearers were George Bender, Frank Fiala, Ray Lockner, Peter Verdick, Laurence Lansing and Louis Dostal. Burial was held in the family lot in the Catholic Cemetery.
Out of town relatives and friends attending the service were Mrs. James Hagerty, Harvey, Illinois William Schafroth, Kankakee, Illinois' James Bergan, Mr. and Mrs. John Bergan and two sons, Ashkum, Illinois; Mr. and Mrs. Max Gatettenbauer, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Schmidt, Rock Island, Illinois' Mr. and Mrs. Mat Boeson, Theodore Boeson, Des Moines, Iowa; Edith Donwen, Winona; Evonne Verdick, Rochester; Mr. and Mrs. Louis Soucek, Gertrude and Jerome, Minneapolis.
