EDWARD S. DONNELLY, M. D.
 
   Dr. Edward S. Donnelly is accorded a place of prominence in medical circles
of Woodburn and possesses those qualities through which success comes as a
natural sequence. He was born January 10, 1885, in Friend, Nebraska, and is a
son of Patrick and Margaret Donnelly, pioneers of that state. For many years his
father engaged in farming and is now living retired in Hastings, Nebraska.
 
   Dr. Donnelly was reared in his native state and received his higher education
at Omaha, Nebraska, in the Creighton Medical College, from which he was
graduated with the class of 1912. He served as an interne at St. Vincent's
Hospital in Portland, Oregon, and afterward followed his profession in various
parts of the state. In 1923 he came to Woodburn and in the intervening period
has successfully treated diseases of the nose and throat, also enjoying a large
general practice.
 
   In 1916 Dr. Donnelly married Miss Marie May, of Mount Angel, Oregon, a
daughter of George and Mary May, Minnesota pioneers. Dr. and Mrs. Donnelly have
a family of five children: Joseph Emmett, Claudia, Kathleen, Cornelius and
Thomas. In politics Dr. Donnelly is a republican and his religious views are in
accord with the doctrines of the Roman Catholic church. He is affiliated with
the Knights of Columbus and his professional connections are with the Marion
County and Oregon State Medical Societies. An earnest student, he keeps in close
touch with the achievements of science in his chosen field of endeavor, and his
personality is one that inspires confidence and respect.
