Saturday, 24 May, 1873

         A Fatal Fall - About 1 o'clock Friday morning, as
       PATRICK O'DONNELL, second engineer of the propeller
       City of Detroit, went on board his vessel, then lying
       at Point Edward, he stumbled and fell through the ele-
       vator hatch from the upper deck. He was taken to the
       Union Hotel, at Fort Gratiot, where Dr. Carvalle, of
       the Fort, and Dr. Shoebotham, of this city, attended
       him. It was found that he had received severe internal
       injuries, and death ensued at sundown Friday evening.
       Nothing was due MR. O'DONNELL from his employers, as
       he had just drawn his pay in full, but CAPT. PRIDGEON
       generously paid all the expenses connected with his
       death and funeral. He lived at 85 Oak St., Detroit,
       whither his remains were taken Saturday morning, his
       wife having arrived at Fort Gratiot a short time
       after his death. Deceased was about 30 years of age.
       
       [Transcriber's Note: The dates on his monument in
       Mount Elliott Cemetery are 1833-1873]
