US congressman. Elected as a Republican to represent Pennsylvania's 24th District in the Forty-first Congress, he served from 1869 to 1871. An 1859 graduate of Pennsylvania's Waynesburg College, he was initially a teacher at Abingdon College in Illinois (1860 to 1862). In 1862 he joined the Union Army as a Captain in the 83rd Regiment of the Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and served throughout the Civil War. Following his discharge he studied at New York's Albany Law School, was admitted to the bar in 1867 and settled as a practicing attorney in Waynesburg. Donley's one term in the US House of Representatives was the only time he held a political office. Defeated for reelection in 1870, he returned to his Waynesburg practice.
When it comes to administrating, building and maintaining the site, Find A Grave is largely operated by its founder, Jim Tipton. Jim created the Find A Grave website in 1995 because he could not find an existing site that catered to his hobby of visiting the graves of famous people. He found that there are many thousands of folks around the world who share his interests. What began as an odd hobby became a livelihood and a passion. Building and seeing Find A Grave grow beyond his wildest expectations has been immensely satisfying for Jim. Every day, contributors from around the world enter new records, thousands use the site as an educational reference tool, long-lost loved ones are located and millions of lives are fondly remembered. In what other line of work would Jim have met one of the last living Munchkins, spoken to a gathering of grave enthusiasts in a Hollywood mausoleum and acquired treasures like his antique coffin screwdriver (it only screws in)?
