DONALD R. DANA DIES IN SERVICE OF HIS COUNTRY
Highly Esteemed Young Man Expires From Pneumonia at the Great Lakes
HAD BEEN ILL SHORT TIME
     The death of Donald R. Dana, aged 23, son of James T. Dana, one of the city's best known and most highly esteemed young men, occurred at 4 o'clock this morning at the Great Lakes Naval Training station where he had been stationed as a member of hospital unit, No. 1 for the past several months.
     His untimely demise was caused by pleuro-pneumonia, which developed from an attack of the influenza. He was taken ill about ten days ago.
     Besides his father the deceased is survived by a brother, Dr. F. C. Dana of Chicago; and two sisters, Miss Nina Dana, a domestic science instructor in the public schools of St. Paul, and Miss Ruth Dana of this city.
Was Born Here.

Following his graduation from that institution he became an employee of the Dana and Worm Drug company, of which his father is president. He worked in the capacity of bookkeeper for that firm until leaving for service in the medical corps of the U.S. navy in July.
     Mr. Dana was one of the first young men of the city to make application for enlistment in the service of his country, but was rejected three times on account of being underweight. After a hard fight he succeeded in meeting the physical requirement for enlistment and was accepted in the navy.
Death Great Shock.
     When word of the young man's death was received in the city this morning it cast a shadow of sorrow over the entire community. Despite the fact that it was known to his many friends and relatives that he was in critical condition, and hopes for his recovery were doubtful, announcement of his death came as a great shock.

DONALD R. DANA IS LAID AT REST
Requiem Mass Sung at 9 O'Clock This Morning
FLORAL TRIBUTE IS LARGE
Six Jackies Act As Bearers - Knights of Columbus Attend in a Body
     Fond du Lac again bowed in sorrow today when another Fond du Lac youth, Donald R. Dana, who died while serving the colors in the navy, was laid to rest at Calvary Cemetery. From the time the body of the young man arrived Saturday at the Dana residence on E. First street, throngs of people called to pay their last tribute to a lad who had tried determinedly to gain entry to the service.
     A requiem mass was sung at 9 o'clock by Rev. J. A. Crowe, a cousin of the deceased, assisted by Father J. J. Collins and Rev. G. Kosterman. Thier services were most impressive and the church was filled to overflowing. The floral tribute was one of the largest ever witnessed in Fond du Lac.

McGalloway, Sylvester Yantz, Robert Lange, Carl Schroeder and Fred Worm, all of whom were stationed at Great Lakes, Ill., and all of whom were intimate friends of the deceased.
Father Collins Speaks.
     During the course of his sermon, Father Collins translated into English the mass as it was read in Latin. Upon the conclusion of the translation he paid a beautiful tribute to Donald Dana. In part Father Collins said, "In a spirit of Christian faith he departed from this world into that other world, cherishing the ideals for which God sent him here. He has severed connections with his immortal soul. The body will repose in the earth but the soul will, according to the teachings of Holy Church, go on to the reward which I believe that this young man deserves. True, he has been called early to lay down his life in sacrifice but we should all be prepared to sacrifice. Christ sacrificed his life, believing that sacrifice was necessary. We should ever bear in mind that this life is full of sacrifices and true happiness in life lies in the belief that the immortal soul will be consecrated to God forever. He has been parted from his earthly father but there is consolation in the fact that he will be reunited with his earthly mother. He has ever held high ideals and lived up to them. It is now that he will reap his reward."

Trains helped hold down FdL County welfare rolls
A century ago this week, Fond du Lac was taking a thrifty - if not terribly humane - approach toward the unemployed homeless: it bought them one-way tickets out of town.
     The Nov. 4, 1902, Fond du Lac Commonwealth reported, "Inquiry to various offices throughout the country revealed but a few families who are wholly dependent upon the county poor appropriation. Conditions in this line are, according to the reports of the commisioners, gradually growing better, and where a few years ago the county funds were quite insufficient for the purpose, balances now grace the reports of the comissioners.
     "In this city the county depending poor are in charge of Geo. P. Dana. At the present time, there is but one permanent charge upon the county, and that but a nominal one. Similar reports are given by other town comissioners (in Fond du Lac County), which shows business in that line to be somewhat lax this year. Mr. Dana states that the greatest expense that have to contend with is to prevent transient poor from locating in this city and becoming a permanent charge to the county. There are great number of this class who apply for aid from the county poor commissioner, stating that they will be dependent but a short time, and that they knew Fond du Lac was booming and came here for work.
     "By rough experience, it has been found that, there is a class who make business of this standing the poor commissioner off." They will live upon one until he learns of the game and then they will move to repeat their performances with some other commissioner in another town. In some cases, however, people get stranded, and a little help from the county would perhaps set them aright. At times such has been the case in this citym but according to Mr. Dana, the county prefers not to take chances (but instead of) help the transient poor to reach their destination. Many men make application for help of the transient variety, who have families. They have just arrived in the city, on their way to perhaps some city out of the state. Their fare was paid this far by some other county poor commissioner. When they reach here and make their application for aid, they are asked if they are on the way to a particular place, and if so, Fond du Lac County purchases thier railroad fare, and prevents them from locating here and becoming an expense to the county.
     "This year ... the poor commissioners will be able to render a commendable report for that portion of the county's expense." on 17 November 1902.¹⁵ He lived in 1905 in Fond du Lac.¹⁶ He Hardware, stoves, etc. in 1905 at Fond du Lac.¹⁶ He witnessed the naturalization of Michael Normile on 31 August 1906; This is the date of his declaration of intent.¹⁷ He wasCounty Sheriff from 1907 to 1909 at Fond du Lac.^3,11
