The obituary of Casimir Donegan, James' brother says that Casimir
is the brother-in-law of Clevy Donegan. The Davenport directories
list a James J. Donegan with wife Clevetine, so that obituary
lets me know that I can associate this James with the James J.
and Clevetine of the directories.
James began his career with Ralston Purina as a laborer
by 1931. In 1936 he was an assistant foreman and a foreman
in 1938.
