prominent residents of that com
munity passed away at the advanced
age of ninety-three yars and up to
within a short time of his death has
been in the best of health and suc
cumbed to the ravages of his advanc
ed years.
This splendid old gentleman was
born in Ottawa, Canada, February
12. 1S28, and spent his youthful
years in the dominion where he first
saw the light of day, coming in 1SR7

seh, where he lived until the death
of his wife in 1S75. when he remOV
eri Ti-ith Viia littlo familv tfk frote tn
reside until ten years later wnen ne

dent of Arapahoe, Mr. McDonald be
came identified with the Masonic fra
ternity and continued active in that
order until his increasing age made
necessary bis retirement from the
activities of the order. He came to
Murdock in the nineties and has for
the past twenty-seven years been a
leader of that place and lias been
making his home with his son, Harry
V. McDonald and family. During the
years of his residence in Cass coun
ty Mr. McDonald made many warai
friends by his splendid traits of char
acter and his genial manner of meet
ing his fellow man, all of which en
deared him to his associates.
He practiced throughout his life
time the precepts of being just to
his fellow man and there is no one
who can withhold from him the tri
bute to his splendid character and
his death has brought a keen regret
to the community in which he has
lived. To mourn the death of this
good man there remain four children
as follows: H. V. McDonald, Mur
dock; Mrs. Norma Mahoney, Minne
apolis; Percy McDonald. Los Angeles
and Mrs. R. F. Scott. Palanio, Ne
braska.
The funeral services were held on
