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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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\u2019s cemetery. &#8211; COM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monticello, March 9, 1891<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE DAILY PATRIOT, FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1891 DEATH: MACDONALD Ronald B.
