Neil McDonald (1878)

The gravestone can be found on the left side of the cemetery, in the 2nd row.  This is another great example of the restoration, as this gravestone was broken into many pieces prior to the restoration.

Roderick McDonald (1838)

Roderick is buried with his wife Betsy.  The gravestone can be found on the right side of the cemetery, in the 5th row.

Below, you will see the gravestone as it appeared prior to the restoration (2008), and after the restoration.  As you can see, the stone had fallen into the ground and was in very poor condition prior to the restoration.

THE DAILY PATRIOT, FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1891

DEATH: MACDONALD

Ronald B. McDonald, Esq., of St. Margaret’s, King’s County, died on the 28th February, after a short illness. Born in May, 1811, he was in his eightieth year, and to the last retained in a marked degree his vigor of mind and body. During his long life he witnessed great changes in the social and political condition of our people.

A pioneer farmer, by diligent industry he acquired competence; an earnest Liberal, he assisted in those struggles for reform which secured to us, Free Lands, Free Education and Free Government.

Mr. McDonald for some time held the position of a Road Commissioner, to which he had been appointed by a Liberal Administration, and the duties of which as well as of other public trusts he fulfilled with satisfaction.

A man of resolution and integrity, he commanded both confidence and respect. His last hours were consoled by the comforts of religion, and a large concourse of mourners attended his funeral to St. Margaret’s cemetery. - COM.
