John T. DONAHOE, Joliet; Treasurer of Will Co.; was born in Joliet Oct. 16, 1855; he 
is a son of Timothy DONAHOE, who came to Joliet from Ireland in 1853, and is now a 
resident of Wilmington. John T. left school at the age of 13, and entered the grocery 
store of his brother in Wilmington as clerk, remaining with him until he was 17 years 
old; they then engaged in business in partnership in Braidwood, and, on attaining his 
majority, he purchased the interest of his brother and continued the business alone until 
his election as County Treasurer in November, 1877; he is the youngest Treasurer Will Co. 
has ever had, and probably the youngest man ever elected to that office in this country.
