No. Apostrophes are used to show something omitted, as in 'don't', or to show possession, as in Mary's pen.

Does an apostrophe come after the s at the end of the name?

Only if it is a plural possessive. For example: The Jones' house. In this example, the apostrophe is after the 's' because there is more than one Jones family member living in the house. This is a plural possessive. If you are only talking about one person then the apostrophe is after the name followed by an 's'. For example: Mike's book.

Why doesn't Walgreen's have an apostrophe?

I'm not sure why, but apostrophes seem to intimidate people. The apostrophe doesn't have a lot of rules associated with it--it is used to show omitted letters and to create possessives--yet it is often abused. The apostrophe isn't used to create plural words, 's shows a singular possessive, and s' shows a plural posssessive. Unless Mr. Charles R. Walgreen (notice the lack of an "s" in the name) made duplicates of himself, Walgreens should have an apostrophe. But it doesn't. McDonald's does, as does Wendy's. Even spell check thinks Walgreens should have an apostrophe.

What is the correct plural possessive form of Donahue?

Donahues' (with the apostrophe after the name).In the singular possessive, the apostrophe should come between the e and s. (That hamster is Phil Donahue's.) In the plural, you first add the s, then the apostrophe, so That house is the Donahues'.For words that end in an s the singular posessive form is s', so "Jesus' sandals are well worn." The plural form of words ending in s is es. (Jesus Lopez and Jesus Fernandez are known as the Jesuses.) To make that word possessive, it's "The Jesuses' jacked-up car was stolen."
