Surname: DONALDSON, BOYLE, WHITFIELD, HULL, GILES paper unknown. (1907) WELL KNOWN DAUGHTER OF MR. AND MRS. BOYLE OF THIS PLACE. Mrs. G.C. DONALDSON, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin BOYLE of this place died Tuesday evening, May 14 at 6:10 o'clock at the Allegheny General Hospital, to which place she had been taken five weeks before to be operated on. Her death was a great shock to her many friends. While laying in the hospital she showed great fortitude and battled hard against the inevitable, knowing as she did that the chances were against her. The death of Mrs. DONALDSON was a very pathetic one as she was a woman whom all loved and respected. Rev. WHITFIELD, who was at one time the pastor of the Allenport M. E. Church, but who now has a charge in Allegheny, learned of Mrs. Donaldson's illness and was a frequent visitor at the hospital. It was during his pastorate at Allenport that the deceased joined the M. E. Church some 14 years ago and a bond of friendship existed from that time between the two. The day before Mrs. Donaldson's death, she asked Rev. WHITFIELD to sing a song entitled "All is Well." He did so and his sweet voice rang out in such melody that all around were touched with the pathos of the occasion. Funeral services were held at the Allenport M.E. Church, and conducted by Rev. WHITFIELD and Rev. HULL. It was a most beautiful service and Rev WHITFIELD repeated the song "All is Well," and there was not a dry eye in the large congregation of sympathizers. The great love of Rev. WHITFIELD for what he considered his duty in coming to Allenport and delivering the sermon on this occasion, is plainly seen when it is known that he left the bedside of his dead baby only a few hours before that he might acquiesce in the last wishes of the departed. Mrs. DONALDSON was 29 years of age and a member of the Daughters of Liberty. She is survived by her father and mother, husband who lives in Donora, one daughter, three years old, one brother, W. H. BOYLE of this place, and two sisters, Mrs. Harry GILES, and Miss Grace of this place. Interment was made at the Fayette City Cemetery, Friday May 17.
