"MAINE--A HISTORY", page 26 "EDWARD C. DONOVAN--Owner of two hundred and eighty-five acres in Houlton Township, Aroostook County, on the Ludlow Road, Edward C. Donovan is one of the most prosperous farmers and public spirited members of the community. He engages in general farming, raising hay, grain and potatoes, which he sells in the local market." "Edward C. Donovan was born on the farm he now conducts, in Aroostook County on October 27, 1883, son of Timothy J. and Alice (Hogan) Donovan. Timothy and Alice Donovan were each decended from families long established in New England and well and favorably known, the former having been born on the Houlton farm and the latter at Limerick. Timothy Donovan was active in matters of the community and wielded considerable power in politics. He was high in the estimation of the people of the town and countryside, and devoted his entire life to the farm, varying the crops and specializing in the raising of potatoes. Timothy and Alice Donovan were the parents of five children." "Edward C. Donovan attended the public schools of Houlton and went immediately to work upon the farm for his father. His career has been an honorable one, and his prosperity deserved. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus and of the Catholic Church." "Edward C. Donovan married Myrtle Haggerty, born at Littleton, daughter of Charles and Louise (Lafferty) Haggerty, her father having been a native of Houlton and her mother born at Benton, New Brunswick.
