During the nuptial Mass beautiful music was supplied by the pupils of Notre Dame Convent. At the conclusion of the nuptial Mass a reception was held at the Rectory where an hour was spent in speech and song. Thereafter Dr. and Mrs. McMillan left on the eastbound train amidst showers of rice and with the hearty wishes of hosts of friends for a long and happy journey through life. If the number and value of the gifts received be a token of the high esteem in which they are held, then the young couple are popular indeed, for never on such an occasion was there so magnificent a display of presents. The Guardian extends congratulations, and trusts that the Doctor, with so accomplished a life partner, may be as successful in the practice of medicine, as he was brilliant in his college course.

DEATH: MACDONALD - FUNERAL OF A PROMINENT ISLANDER - DENVER, Jan. 28 - The funeral of Alexander John Macdonald, floor manager of the Denver Dry Goods company, who died of pneumonia at St. Joseph's Hospital Friday night, Jan. 15th took place Sunday afternoon at 1.30 o'clock in St. Leo's church. Interment was in Mount Olivet cemetery and the body was on view in Horan's undertaking rooms, 1527 Cleveland place after 9 o'clock Sunday morning.
Macdonald was one of the best-known men in Denver. He was born on Prince Edward Island sixty years ago, and thirty-five years ago left Charlottetown, his home, for Boston. For ten years he was with Jordan, Marsh & Co., but having lung trouble came to Denver. For ten years he was with Daniels & Fisher, and then resigned to be with the Denver Dry Goods company. He was considered to be one of the best dry goods men in the country.
Of an unusually genial disposition, with his smooth-shaven and ruddy face and hair as white as snow, Macdonald was one of Denver's most popular men. He was personally known to thousands of shoppers. No man in Denver was so well known among the Capitol hill residents.
Macdonald was of the great Macdonald clan that has given many famous men and women to Scottish history, including Flora Macdonald, whose love for "Bonnie Prince Charlie" is one of the stirring romances of the House of Stuart. The direct ancestor of Macdonald fled from Scotland to France and thence to New Brunswick, during the Napoleon wars, and from New Brunswick crossed over to Prince Edward Island, where the family has since been prominent. It is one of the best known families in that section of Canada.
A. J. Macdonald never returned to Prince Edward Island. Brothers and sisters in the intervening thirty-five years have married and are now grandparents. Macdonald was the owner of a ranch on the outskirts of Denver, and only two weeks ago had begun negotiations for its sale with the intention of closing up his property interests and spending the summer with his relatives in and around Charlottetown.
The death of the well-known dry goods man was remarkably peaceful. It was known, of course, that he could not live, but it was supposed he would survive the night. Friends who had been spending Friday evening with him left at 10 o'clock. Shortly after they had left the nurse asked him how he was.
"Just so-so, child," replied Macdonald with a smile.
There was one deep-drawn breath, and he was dead. He took sick only the Sunday before and up till then was in the best of health.
The funeral was magnificient and very largely attended by his very many friends. The employees of the store marched in a body.
The floral tributes were many and beautiful and this alone testified to the high esteem in which he was held and his worth as a citizen. The chief mourners were J. C. McKenzie, Mr. and Mrs. Blackham, Mrs. Norman McDonald and her son Norman McDonald, all Islanders, except Mr. Blackham, living in this City.
Mr. McDonald has two brothers, James McDonald of Summerside and Charles McDonald of Charlottetown.

DEATH: MACEACHEN - At Bayfield, Lot 46, on the 4th inst., Charles McEachen, Esq., aged 94 years. Deceased was one of the old landmarks, one of the links between the present and past generations in this Province. He, indeed, was an "old oak covered with snowflakes". He was born and reared in the vicinity in which he lived all his long life. From his early manhood he was a Justice of the Peace, and was always foremost in what ever was for the general good of the people. He was a sturdy upholder of whatever he believed to be right, and most uncompromising in his condemnation of what, in his estimation, was wrong. Unswerving devotion to principle was with him a dominant characteristic. He was all his life an ardent, consistent and faithful Conservative, and in his younger days was always found in the thick of the fight. He stood beside his friend and cousin, the late Hon. Emanuel McEachen in all his political battles. He, himself, was a member of the Legislative council for a brief term. He was generous and warm-hearted and in his hospitable home the visitor and stranger always found a hearty welcome and kindly entertainment. "Take him, for all in all he was a man whose like we shall not see again". Although, for the last year or two, burdened with the infirmities of age, he was not to any extent a sufferer, and only for two or three days previous to his demise did he fail anyway rapidly. He was conscious up to the last and devoutely received the Sacraments for the dying. His funeral to the parish church of St. Columba, on Saturday the 6th was very largely attended. High Mass of Requiem was sung and the funeral service was performed by Rev. Jas. Æ. McDonald, P.P. His wife predeaced him by about fifteen years. He leaves to mourn three sons and four daughters. May his soul rest in peace.

DEATH: MACDONALD - The quiet village of Mount Stewart was stirred as perhaps never before, when on Friday evening, February 12th, the news began to circulate that Pius Macdonald of Allisary had accidentally met his death early that afternoon. The fatality was so sudden, so unexpected, those who heard were so utterly unprepared for it, that they could not for the moment realize its truth, and were fain to regard it as a dream rather than a reality. And yet it was only too true. The genial Pius was indeed dead, his noble life crushed out by a falling tree, his son being the only witness of the sad accident. Tenderly did he raise his father's prostrate form, and took the bruised head upon his lap, as if love's warmth could restore it; but the injured man was beyond human help; he merely gasped as if in an effort to speak, and in an instant was with God. The late Pius MacDonald was the youngest brother of the Right Reverend Bishop of Charlottetown, and was born about fifty five years ago at Allisary, on the very homestead which he occupied at the time of his death. In early life he married a daughter of the late Ronald MacDonald of St. Peter's Lake by whom he had five children, two boys and three girls, all of whom survive him. The eldest son is married and lives at Cranbrook, British Columbia, the other members of the family live at their home at Allisary. The funeral on Sunday afternoon February 14th, was a splendid demonstration on the part of clergy and people. A special train brought a number of people from Charlottetown and intermediate stations, while hundreds having come in sleighs, made up a procession that extended from the home of the deceased almost to the church. His Lordship Bishop MacDonald officiated, assisted by Rev. A. J. MacIntyre as deacon, and Rev. I. R. A. MacDonald as subdeacon, while Reverend Dr. MacLellan had charge of the ceremonies. The choir was assisted by Reverends A. J. MacDonald, R. J. Gillis, Dr. Morrison and Dr. Curran; Reverends Dr. A. B. Macdonald, R. J. Macdonald, J. C. MacMillan and A. P. MacLellan occupied places in the sanctuary. After the Libera had been sung the body was borne to its last resting place in the cemetery, where the Pastor Reverend A. P. MacLellan recited the closing prayers of the church. Com.

DEATH: MACDONALD - Suddenly, by the accidental falling of a tree at Allisary, near Mount Stewart on the 12th inst., Pius McDonald, aged 57 years, leaving two sons, three daughters and a large circle of friends to mourn. May his soul rest in peace.
OBITUARY
The chronicling of the awful sudden death of Mr. Pius McDonald, of Mount Stewart, recorded in our obituary column today, is one of the very saddest duties we have ever found ourselves called upon to perform. He, with his son John A., were in the woods on the 12th felling trees. A large old tree that had been broken, about twenty feet from the ground some time ago, but had not been entirely detached from the stump, remained, with its top on the ground. Deceased commenced cutting down the trunk, when suddenly the top separated from the stump and crashed down on the unfortunate man, striking him on the head or back of the neck, bearing him to the ground and killing him instantly. He never articulated a word. His son, who was close by, gave the alarm, and Mr. Daniel Handrahan, the only other person within hearing, who was chopping not far away, came on the scene at once. Life was extinct, and nothing remained but to convey the remains to the home he had left, shortly before in the fullness of health and manly vigor. Deceased was a brother of his Lordship Bishop McDonald, and lived at the old homestead with his family of three daughters, one son and an older brother. His other and older son lives at Cranbrook, B. C.. His wife predeceased him some eight or nine years, and her sister, who took charge of the young family on their mother's death, died a little over a year ago. Deceased was a genial, upright and honorable man; the soul of honor, whose word was his bond, and who enjoyed in an eminent degree the unqualified respect, esteem and love of the whole community in which he lived, and of every one with whom he was acquainted. He was a warm-hearted true friend, of the most gentle and unassuming manners. He was a charter member of the local branch of the C. M. B. A., had passed through the President's chair, and, at the time of his death, was filling another term of the Presidency. His Lordship, the Bishop, had been absent at Halifax and left there on Friday for home. At Pictou the sad intelligence reached him. The funeral took place at the parish church at St. Andrew's, on Sunday afternoon, and was very largely attended. There must have been at least one hundred and fifty sleighs. St. Andrew's is across the river almost opposite the home of the deceased and the rear of the cortege had hardly left the house when the van had arrived at the church. A special train went out from Charlottetown conveying a large number of friends. The pall-bearers were members of the C. M. B. A. In the sanctuary were his Lordship in cope and mitre, Rev. A. P. McLellan, P.P., Rev. A. J. McIntyre, Rev. I. R. A. McDonald and Rev. D. B. McDonald. Rev. Dr. McLellan and the other priests present and assisting the choir included Rev. A. J. McDonald, Very Rev. Dr. Morrison, Rev. Dr. Curran, Rev. R. J. McDonald. Before the absolution, a short and most appropriate exhortation on death with special reference to the sad occasion calling together those present, was delivered by Rev. Dr. McMillan. His Lordship, the Bishop, officiated and in accents trembling with emotion chanted the absolution. The service at the grave was peformed by the pastor, Rev. A. P. McLellan. R.I.P.

MARRIAGE: MACDONALD-MACAULAY - Local & Other Items - One of the prettiest events of the season took place on Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 16th, 1909, at the residence of Mr. Philip E.

DEATH: MACPHEE - OBITUARY - It is with deep and sincere regret that we chronicle today the death of Joseph L. McPhee, which sad event took place at his home, at St. Margaret's, on the 5th inst.
The deceased had been in failing health for a number of years and everything that medical aid and kind friends could do to effect his cure was of no avail.
His illness he bore with true Christian patience and resignation to the Divine will.
He was ever a model Christian, an honest and upright citizen and his memory will long be cherished in the community where he lived, for his many noble qualities of heart and mind.
He was attended in his last hours by his beloved pastor, Rev. K. C. McPherson and died consoled by the rites of the Catholic Church of which he had ever been a pious member.
On Sunday afternoon, the 7th inst., his remains followed by a large concourse of people, were conveyed to St. Margaret's Church, where the funeral service was performed by the pastor, thence to the adjoining cemetery, where all that was mortal of a good and just man was laid to rest.
The pallbearers were Herman McPhee, Allan Gillis, Alexander Montgomery, James R. McDonald, John Kelly and Alexander McDonald.
He leaves to mourn a bereaved widow, two brothers and four sisters, besides a large number of friends and relatives, to all of whom we extend our sincere sympathy.
May his soul rest in peace. – Com.

DEATH: MACDONALD - OBITUARY - We regret to chronicle the death of Mrs. Michael McDonald, which occurred at Kelly's Cross on Tuesday, 16th of March, 1909, after an illness of less than two weeks, in her 56th year. The deceased was a most estimable lady in many respects. Her many acquaintances can bear ample testimony of her amiable qualities in the capacity either of wife, mother, social neighbor or a genuine christian lady. Her happy, jolly manner in any and all circumstances; her industry and integrity in material and industrial affairs; and above all – which in truth was the motive power of her secondary virtues – her loyalty to the Catholic Church, whose tenets she held in reverence, whose precepts she faithfully obeyed, are some of the prominent characteristics of the deceased which stand out in evidence of a christian life now that she has gone to enjoy the eternal reward of her mortal career.
What a fitting and consoling end to a well-spent life to have the sacraments of the holy church administered at the hands of her son, Rev. Maurice McDonald, during her illness, who remained by her bedside for ten days.
Her funeral on Thursday morning the 18th, to St. Joseph's Church, Kelly's Cross, was most impressive. A solemn mass of requiem was celebrated by Rev. Maurice McDonald, assisted by Rev. Dr. Curran as deacon, and Rev. D. P. Croken, as sub-deacon, with Rev. Dr. Monaghan as master of ceremonies. The choir was assisted by Revs. J. J. McDonald and J. C. McLean, while Rev. Dr. McLellan and Rev. P. D. McGuigan occupied seats in the sanctuary.
The pallbearers were John Bradley, John Stordy, James Kelly, Charlottetown, Francis Bradley, James M. Duffy, Kinkora and D. G. McDonald.
Besides her husband she leaves to mourn eight sons: Owen A. in Boston; Rev. Maurice McDonald at the palace; Dominick, Matthew, Urias, Wendell in the States; Aeneas and Russel at home; and three daughters, Mrs. Davison, Boston; and Mary E. and Dora at home, to all of whom we tender our sincere sympathy. – Com.

DEATH: LOGAN - OBITUARY - The last sad tribute of respect was paid on Saturday to one of the oldest most highly respected and most estimable residents of Mount Stewart – W. J. Logan, Esq., J.P.
Mr. Logan was born in Glasgow, Scotland, about seventy years ago, and he passed away on Tuesday last at 10 o'clock. Coming to P. E. Island when quite a young man, he first settled at Millcove. Afterwards he removed to Mount Stewart where he married a daughter of the late Mr. George Scott, of Mount Stewart Farm. At Mount Stewart, Dromore and elsewhere he was a teacher for nearly fifty years. At the same time he occupied himself in farming, while he provided for his family. His family consisted of six sons and four daughters – all of whom are well settled in life. Of the daughters, the eldest is the wife of Mr. R. P. Pryor, manager of the Bell Telephone Company, Boston; a second is Mrs. David Jay, of Mount Stewart; and the third is Mrs. Duncan McIntyre, of Wardner, Idaho, while the fourth is Miss Logan at home. The sons include Messrs. Peter and George Logan, of Cape Nome, B.C., Mr. Arthur Logan is a successful contractor in Summerville, Mass., and Mr. M. B. Logan resides on the farm at home. Mr. W. A. Logan, the eldest son, Hospital Steward at the Concord Reformatory, arrived on Friday by the Minto to be present at the funeral, which was postponed in order that he might arrive on time.
The funeral was attended by persons of all denominations, in large numbers. Mr. Logan was a devout member of the Roman Catholic Church, and died in the blissful hope of a glorious resurrection. The services were conducted by the Rev. A. P. McLellan, of St. Andrew's, and he was laid to rest in St. Andrew's Cemetery. As a Justice of the Peace, the deceased gentleman assisted, for many years, in the settlement of most of the disputes of the neighborhood. He was a man of good literary ability, and at one time a frequent contributor – in prose and verse – of THE EXAMINER and other newspapers. In every relation of life, his was an example of excellent conduct, and he leaves to his family and neighborhood the memory of an honest and true man.

DEATH: CAMPBELL - Local & Other Items - The death occurred at Kelly's Cross at 9 o'clock on Saturday evening of Rev. Father Cornelius Campbell, D.D. The late Dr. Campbell was the son of Mr. Michael Campbell, and was born at Millcove in 1866. He was educated at St. Dunstan's College and at the Propaganda College, Rome. In 1894, he became assistant priest at the Cathedral in Halifax, where he labored hard for eight years, until ill-health obliged him to seek a change of climate in the hope of regaining his strength. He accordingly spent several years in Colorado, but the physical improvement was not so rapid as his friends fervently desired, and he was unable to take up active pastoral work. For the past two years he has been at home on the Island, spending a good deal of time with his brother, Rev. Terence Campbell, of Kelly's Cross, where he breathed his last. Although in delicate health, his condition did not give his friends cause for alarm, but recently two hemorrhages weakened him and hastened the end. Dr. Campbell was an eloquent preacher, a ripe scholar, a hard-working student, and a ready, able writer. "A Life of Mary, Queen of Scots," and many contributions to the Ecclesiastical Review were among the writings which brought him prominence in literary circles. He leaves to mourn a father, four brothers and three sisters. The brothers are: Rev. Terrence Campbell, at Kelly's Cross; Walter, Hugh and James, at home. The sisters are Mrs. McGrath, at Kelly's Cross; Clara, in Boston and Mrs. George Conroy, at Tignish.

DEATH: MACDONALD - OBITUARY - A deep gloom has been cast over Chepstow and surrounding country by the intelligence of the death of Mrs. Patrick McDonald at the comparatively early age of 59 years which sad event took place on Friday the 16th ult. Up to a few years ago Mrs. McDonald was in the possession of good health when an insidious disease fastened itself upon her and notwithstanding the best medical skill and the unremitting attention of a loving husband and family she passed to that bourne from which no traveller returns. The deceased was one of nature's noble women and her jovial large-heartedness, generous and sympathetic nature made her a general favorite of all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. Possessed of a religious spirit and endowed with the virtue of self-sacrifice, she was ever ready to assist the sick, the poor and the needy. She leaves to mourn a sorrowing husband, seven daughters and two sons. Her funeral from her home in Chepstow to St. Mary's Church, Souris, was largely attended. A High Mass of Requiem was sung by Rev. John A. McDonald after which her mortal remains were interred in the adjoining cemetery there to await the final resurrection.

THE DAILY PATRIOT, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, 1909
DEATH: CAMPBELL - OBITUARY - Though perhaps late with a tribute to the memory of the late Rev. Dr. Campbell, we assume that a fitting reference is ever opportune, especially when the subject thereof is so worthy as the subject of this notice. For the past three or four years the people of Kelly's Cross were delighted to see him return again and again to sojourn for a period with his beloved brother, our pastor. Although unable to perform active duties, except occasionally to offer up the Great Sacrifice of the Altar, we were conscious that a great mind and heart was in our midst, as the fame of his literary and pulpit reputation had preceded him, which commanded the especial reverence and respect of all who came within the sphere of his influence. His kind and winning manner, his interesting and instructive conversation edified those who had the pleasure of an intimate association with the late Dr. Campbell. While incapacitated from strenuous physical labor in the Lord's vineyard, still he was ever, even to the last, employing his virile pen in contributions to the literary and ecclesiastical periodicals, combatting errors, promoting Catholic progress, advancing to the limit of his decreasing physical powers the cause he espoused when he was ordained a priest of the Catholic Church. We entertain the hope that the many literary gems which dropped from the pen of the late reverend gentleman may be collected and published for the instruction and edification of the reading and thinking portion of the community.
A hemorrhage about three weeks prior to his death shattered the hopes of those who believed we would have him among us for many years yet, and on Saturday night, April 17th, about 9 o'clock, the sad and solemn tolling of the bell of St. Joseph's Church told the people of the parish that the pure soul of Rev. Dr. Campbell had been summoned to its eternal home in Heaven. He breathed his last surrounded by his brother, Rev. T. Campbell, Rev. J. J. McDonald, Kinkora, his sisters, Mrs. McGrath and Mrs. Conroy, and his brothers, Hugh and James.
His body, enclosed in an elegant casket, lay in state in the parlor of the parochial house till 6.30 p.m., Sunday, at which hour, preceded by the priests, altar boys and choir chanting the Miserere, it was reverently borne by six parishioners between two parallel lines of the men and women of the parish, to the church, and placed within the Sanctuary. The Altar, Sanctuary rail, choir gallery, etc., heavily draped in black, myriads of candles burning, and watchers on guard all during the night, the body remained in the church till one o'clock, p.m., on Monday. A solemn Mass of Requiem was celebrated on Monday morning by Rev. T. Campbell, assisted by Rev. J. J. McDonald and Rev. Maurice McDonald as Deacon and Sub-Deacon respectively.
The funeral cortege, a very large one, proceeded at one o'clock to North Wiltshire, from which the remains were conveyed by special train to Bedford Station. On Tuesday morning, amid pomp and sadness, the mortal remains of Rev. Dr. Campbell were laid beside those of his kindred and ancestors in the quiet cemetery at Corran Ban. And here, while by his grave, deploring the early demise (in his 43rd year) of one of God's great and holy priests, and dropping the tear of sympathy for our beloved pastor, his aged and respected father, his brothers and sisters, let us, inspired by the example of his pure, holy, zealous life, resolve to strive to emulate some of his noble characteristics. May his soul rest in peace. – Com.

MARRIAGE: MACGILLIVRAY-O'DONNELL - WEDDING BELLS - Smiling June in all its beauty, could not be marked by a more ideal wedding morning – a feature always desirable in a marriage scene – than that of Tuesday, 11th of May, when Miss Kathleen L. McGillvray of Port Vernon, was united in marriage to Mr. Francis O'Donnell of Avondale, in St. Joachim's Church, Vernon River, by their pastor, Rev. Dr. Morrison.
The bride, always attractive, looked lovely in the ever-becoming and popular wedding costume, cream white silk. She also wore a beautiful white picture hat and an ostrich stole. She was given away by her brother, Mr. J. J. McGillvray and attended by her friend Miss Minnie McKenzie, of Charlottetown, formerly of Port Vernon. The groom was supported by his cousin, Mr. Joseph Carmichael, of Fairville. During the interesting and impressive ceremony the pipe organ discoursed sweet and inspiring music under the skilful fingers of Miss Eliza O'Neil.
After the marriage the bridal party drove to the home of the bride's aunt, Mrs. Farrell, Iona, and received hearty congratulations. Luncheon was served and a short time most pleasantly spent. They then proceeded to Riverside Cottage, the home of the bride, where every preparation was made to do honor to the happy event. Dinner was served in Mrs. McGillvray's excellent style, and the afternoon was whiled away with music, speech and song. Towards evening the happy couple drove to the home of the groom where they were joined by a number of invited guests and all were right royally entertained.
At the supper table, short and complimentary speeches were delivered. But the sentiments of the company was admirably expressed by Mr. John Fraser in his own clever way. He said the event was of more than ordinary interest as the bride was easily recognized as one of the best known and successful school teachers in the Province, having labored most acceptably in Avondale for some time and endeared herself to all by her superior qualities of character, as well as by her wonderful success in the school-room. Her departure from the noble profession was a distinct loss, but as Avondale had her now for a permanent resident it was all right. He heartily congratulated the groom on the crowning event of his life and said his example was well worthy of imitation and proved what a progressive and energetic young man can accomplish. Instead of joining the exodus as too many of our promising young men do, he built up a beautiful new home in a few years and has every prospect of a promising future before him. It is needless to say that many wedding gifts of beauty and value were received by the popular young couple.

DEATH: MACDONALD - OBITUARY - Daniel Garfield McDonald, son of the late John A. McDonald, Mill Valley, after an illness extending over more than a year, died May 18th, aged 22 years. 4 years ago his father died quite suddenly, and he was left with his mother and sister to care for a large farming property; and he proved himself a young man of intelligent progressiveness.

DEATH: MACDONALD - OBITUARY - The death, which occurred at Peake's Station on Sunday, the 27th ult., of Mr. Daniel B. McDonald, removes another of our landmarks from our midst. Deceased was born at Pisquid eighty-nine years ago. While quite young he settled down on a farm near Peake's Station. He labored zealously and succeeded in making for himself and family a comfortable home. He was much attached to his home and devoted to the members of his family; while he possessed many good qualities which tended to make him beloved by all. He was kind and obliging, ever ready to help those in need, and his door was never closed to the traveler who required food and rest.
He was a devout member of the Catholic Church and during his last moments had all the consolation of his religion. His funeral to St. Teresa's took place on Tuesday morning last, and, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, was well attended. The pall-bearers were Robert Mooney, Allan McDonald, Anthony McLaughlin, Peter Heron, Patrick Donnelly and Bernard Gillan, Jr. A High Mass of Requiem was sung by the Rev. I. R. A.

DEATH: MACDONALD - OBITUARY - Died at Clear Springs, King's County, on June 19th, Clement McDonald, aged 69 years.
Deceased was widely known in King's County, having served in several capacities under the Local Government. For nearly eighteen years he held the position of Exhibition Commissioner during the time of the County Exhibitions, besides several other commissions under the Crown. He was an ardent Conservative, and one of the strongest supporters of that party in his electoral district. He, however, never permitted his political opinions to antagonize himself from friends of the opposite party. As a matter of fact, many of his most intimate personal friends were Liberals.
He was a man of rare intelligence, well read in any subject, and a fluent speaker either on the platform or in ordinary conversation. In debate there were few his equal, and in conversation he was a host in himself. As a political controversialist he scarcely could be equaled in the county, as both friend and foe will be ready to admit. He was a man of sound judgment and his views on any subject were usually upheld.
In religion he was a Catholic, and a most devout member of St. Margaret's Church, in which he occupied the position of elder for the past thirty years. Although residing some two miles from the church, it was rarely indeed, that he failed to fulfil the obligation of attending Mass on Sundays and holy days, winter or summer, no matter what the state of the weather was. For the past three years he was subject to epilectic fits, which broke down his health, leaving him in a delicate condition. So his death was not wholly unexpected.
His funeral on the 21st ultimo was one of the largest ever seen at St. Margaret's Church, those present representing all shades and creeds, within a radius of many miles. Deepfelt sorrow was expressed on every hand. Clement McDonald did not, probably, leave behind a single enemy.
He leaves a wife and family of six daughters and three sons, mostly grown up.
The funeral service was conducted both in the church and at the grave by the pastor, Father McPherson, when all that was mortal of a kind husband and father and a faithful and true friend was laid to rest in the cemetery nearby, to await the final coming. May his soul rest in peace. – Com.

DEATH: MACDONALD - OBITUARY - There passed peacefully away at St. Charles, on August 5th, John McDonald, in the 52nd year of his age. He had been ailing for some time with stomach trouble, and despite the close attention of medical skill, and the constant ministrations of loving friends, death finally triumphed. Deceased was a man whose passing is a distinct loss to the community in which he lived. He was one of those strong pillars of society which seem to be divinely placed in every community of men as a guide, a director for those who are less gifted. Besides the more sterling qualities of justice, honesty and integrity, he possessed also in an eminent degree the finer characteristics and graces which make men useful and potent members of society. He was intelligent, broad-minded and public-spirited, and in every movement which was calculated to make for the betterment of his fellow-men, he was ever found ably supporting the right. In matters pertaining to the Catholic Church, of which he was a faithful follower, he willingly and enthusiastically took a prominent part, while his zeal for the cause of education, and for the general up-lift of his fellow-men, was vigorous and lasting. He held himself ever ready and prepared to console the afflicted, to comfort the distressed, and to encourage and cheer the struggler and the down-trodden. At home he was kind, entertaining and hospitable, a man whose heart and hearth glowed warmly and brightly to cheer alike both friend and stranger. Great as the loss of his passing is to society, infinitely greater is it to his widow and four helpless children. Poignantly, indeed, must they feel the loss of so faithful and loving a husband – so affectionate and devoted a father. But confidence in an all-wise God cannot fail to sustain them in this their hour of affliction, for though the gloom of sorrow may at first seem impervious to mortal eyes, hope still sees a star, and faith and love is able to penetrate the darkest cloud. The esteem in which the deceased was held by the community was openly manifested by the large concourse of people which on Sunday, August 8th, followed the remains to St. Charles' Church, where, after the obsequies were performed by his pastor, Rev. E. Walker, he was tenderly laid to rest in the adjoining churchyard beside loved ones who had gone before. To his grief-stricken widow and children, likewise to his brothers and sisters, is extended heartfelt sympathy. – Com.

DEATH: MACDONALD-MOONEY - OBITUARY - One of those events that cast a gloom over communities as well as over families took place at Greenvale on the 19th inst., when Christena, the young wife of Leonard Mooney, was called to her eternal reward. The deceased, who was cut off in the bloom of life, being but twenty-nine years old, was the only child of Emmanuel and Catherine McDonald, of this place. Death always causes sorrow, but seldom does death cause such poignant grief as this. As we have already said, she was the only child of her parents; their pride and comfort since childhood, and they fondly hoped would be the solace of their old age. To them the loss is well nigh irreparable. Her young husband suddenly deprived of his loving and cheerful wife is deserving of all sympathy. His only comfort will be the three orphaned children, to whom he must make up as much as he can for the great loss which, though they do not yet realize it, they have sustained. The funeral took place on Friday, Rev. R. B. McDonald conducting the services. Rarely has such a concourse of people gathered to pay their last respects to the dead in this parish; and when all that was mortal of that young mother, with her infant son in her arms, was consigned to the earth, it would indeed be a hard heart that would fail to be affected. However, the pure life and perfect reconciliation to the will of God in death of the departed cannot fail to bring solace to the hearts of those near to her and they look forward to a meeting in a better world, where there will be no parting. – D.

DEATH: MACDONALD - DEATH OF PROMINENT ISLANDER IN SEATTLE - Captain Alex. McDonald Who Rose From Ranks to Captain of Police in Seattle Stricken While on Duty - The Seattle Post-Intelligencer of August 15th contains the following notice of the death of Captain of Police Alexander McDonald, formerly of Mount Stewart. He was a brother of Mr. D. A. McDonald who at one time represented Fort Augustus District in the Local Legislature. He taught school for several years at Mt. Stewart.
Captain of Police Alexander McDonald died from cerebral hemorrhage at Providence hospital at 6.35 o'clock last night. His patrol at police headquarters was notified of the officer's death an hour and a half later, when they went on duty.
Since July 11, when Capt. McDonald was stricken suddenly at police headquarters, his life has been despaired of. For a time the end was momentarily expected. A week ago there came a change for the better. He regained consciousness for a time and even walked for a day. Friday he suffered a relapse and sank gradually until yesterday afternoon, when another stroke resulted fatally.
As a superior officer, Capt. MacDonald was rated unusually competent. After the election of Mayor John F. Miller, friends of the officer who died yesterday urged his appointment as chief of police, and the selection of the head of the department was made from between MacDonald and Ward. The body of the Captain was taken charge of by Collins Brothers. A meeting of the Seattle Police Relief Association, of which Capt. MacDonald was an active member, will be held either today or tomorrow, at which time plans for the funeral will be made.
Captain MacDonald was appointed to take the place of Irving Ward when the latter was named chief of police by Mayor John F. Miller. Since that time until he was suddenly stricken, he was a patrol commander.
He was born on Prince Edward Island, Canada, January 10, 1861. He was educated in the public schools, and for six years taught school on Prince Edward Island. He later taught in the schools of Victoria, B.C., for two years. He was in Seattle in 1889 and 1890, but for the next four years he lived in Portland, where he engaged in the real estate business. After spending some time in Alaska he returned to Seattle in 1898, and joined the police force as a patrolman. He was appointed clerk, sergeant and then captain.
Captain MacDonald is survived by a widow and one adopted child. The family home is 7713 Fifth avenue northeast.

The deceased was one of nature's noble women, and her jovial large-heartedness, genial affability, generous and sympathetic nature made her a general favorite with all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance.

DEATH: MACDONALD - OBITUARY - The death of Mrs. Allan McDonald, Harmony, which sad event occurred at the Charlottetown Hospital about 2 p.m. November 9th was a sudden and unexpected shock to her family and friends. The deceased was in her usual good health up to a few months ago, when she was stricken down with rheumatism, and despite all that loving hands and the best medical aid could do, she gradually became weaker and weaker. As a last resort she was removed to the Charlottetown Hospital. But death which no power can resist, which no entreaties can stay or turn aside, claimed its victim and the good kind wife and mother calmly breathed her last, strongly fortified by the last consolation of the Roman Catholic church, and in the presence of her eldest son, and her two youngest daughters. A husband, four sons and three daughters are left to mourn the irreparable loss of a model wife and mother, whose thoughts ever centered in the home, and the welfare of her family. To soften the grief of the bereaved family it is consoling to know that their loss is her gain, that she is waiting for them in that kingdom she was so well prepared to enter.
An unusually large procession followed her remains to St. Mary's Church, Souris, where a Requiem Mass was celebrated by the pastor, after which she was peacefully laid to rest in the adjoining cemetery. May she rest in peace.

DEATH: MACDONALD-MACPHERSON - OBITUARY - At Launching Place, Sarah McDonald, wife of Joseph McPherson, aged 45 years.
In the death of Mrs. McPherson we are again forcibly reminded that dust we are and unto dust we sooner or later must return. Mrs. McPherson had not been in good health for some time although hopes were entertained for her recovery, but such was not to be. On Friday evening, December 3rd, 1909, with her family and relatives by her bedside, she peacefully passed from time to eternity. She leaves to mourn their loss a husband, four sons and four daughters, a mother, brother and two sisters. She was one whom to know was to respect and esteem. Industrious and kind, she will long be missed in her home circle and the neighborhood. She was ever present in a house of sickness and many, young and old, will long remember her kind ministrations.
The high esteem for the deceased and the sympathy for the bereaved family was shown by the large funeral on December 6th, to St. George's, where a requiem mass was celebrated by her pastor, Rev. D. J. G. McDonald, after which the remains of a dutiful daughter, kind sister, loving wife and mother were in the adjoining cemetery tenderly placed in its kindred earth, to there wait the glorious resurrection. To those who mourn, we can only say, she is not lost but only a little time gone before, for "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." May her soul rest in peace. – Com.
