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.
