W NLR, .. , N nv' 1. , x.. le.l . 0 ln his Twentieth Century History of Marshall County, indiana, written in 1908, Honorable Daniel lVlcDonald stated of Donaldson, lt is a quiet little village and proba- bly will always remain so. . . His prediction has remained true. According to McDonald, at the turn-of-the-century, Don- aldson boasted of two stores, a drug store, a grain elevator, a blacksmith shop, one doctor, a good schoolhouse, church. . . As one of the original found- ers of Divine Heart, in 1935, Brother Conrad Thelen, S.C.l., recalls that the town was still a busy village containing, be- sides the mentioned establish- ments, an active depot serving Penn Central Railroad, a Hernz Pickle Salting Station and-a postoffice. Moreover, Highway 30 intersected the village, pro- viding business for two filling stations and a modest hotel. Donaldson has now slipped back into virtual obscurity with the decreased use of the railroad and the building of a four-lane bypass of Highway 30. To Divine Heart and its inhabitants, however, the peo- ple retain their friendliness and the postoffice remains the one strong link all have with distant homes, families and friends.
