Benjamin Franklin Donathan
Benjamin Franklin Donathan, son of Jerimiah B. and Mary Dunn Donathan, was born in March 1871 near Magazine, AR. He was raised and educated in the Reveilee Twp of Logan County where he was a member of a large and well respected farming family of that area.
On April 18, 1889, in Logan Co., Ben married Nancy Elizabeth "Monk" Shamblee, daughter of Captain William LeRoy and Elizabeth Carroll Shamblee. Born in March 1871 in Boonevile, she was a graduate of the Fort Smith District High School at Booneville, and she was a member of the Booneville Methodist Church since youth.
After their marriage, the couple made their home near Mill Branch in the Old Town of Booneville. From the 1890's to 1909, Ben Donathan and Captain W.L. Shamblee ran Shamblee and Donathan (planning mill and cotton gin), first located in the Old Town of Booneville on Mill Branch and, after 1899, located on Railroad Avenue. Around the turn of the century the family moved from the Old Town to the southeast corner of Main and McCandless Streets. After Captain William L. Shamblee's death in 1915, the family moved to his two-story home on Cooke Street (now Second Street), which the Donathans tore down many years later to build a smaller home. After Ben Donathan retired from the ginning business in 1909, he engaged in farming.
The Donathans were the parents of two chidren: Felix LeRoy born August 1890, and Benjamin Fannin "Jeff" born June 18, 1906.
Benjamin Franklin Donathan died on February 27, 1939, at his home in Booneville of a heart attack after a bout with stomach and throat cancer. Mrs. N.E. "Monk" Donathan died at home in Booneville, also on September 23, 1954. Both are buried in Oak Hill Cemetery.
