Notes:

(Research):?b?The Rev. David Mackay?/b?, was the minister of the parish upwards of half a century. Amid the varied trials he was called to bear during a life of eighty-four, and a ministry of more than fifty-one years, the word of God was his support. Perhaps the most remarkable feature in his character was the interest he took in young men of talent, and unwearied efforts he made to bring them forward from humble life, to stations of usefulness and respectability.

The land-owners of this parish are; Sir John Gordon Sinclair of Murkle, Bart., the Duke of Sutherland; Major Innes of Sandside; James Sinclair of Forss; and ?b?Captain Macdonald of Shebster.?/b?

Died:
Death of Mr, D. McDonald.
The death of Mr. Duncan McDonald, which occurred at his home in Dalhousie, on Wednesday last, after an illness of about a year, has caused a feeling of the deepest regret throughout the whole township, where nearly fifty years of his life were spent. He was born on Oct. 25th, 1831, on the farm in Bathurst township, near Playfair, where his nephew, Mr. Peter McDonald, now resides. When quite young he engaged as an apprentice at the shoemaking business with the late Wm. Clcndenning at Fallbrook. After serving his time, and working at his trade around the neighbourhood for a while he moved to Dalhousie and purchased a lot from his brother Alex., who at that time owned the land on which the village of McDonald's Corners now stands, and from whom the place got its name.
There he erected the building now occupied by Mr. Andrew Ranger and started a shoemaking shop, which he conducted for about fifteen years. After disposing of his property in McDonald's Corners he purchased the farm on the 9th line, where the remainder of his days were spent in tilling the soil.

Before moving to McDonald's Corners he was married to Susan Cameron (sister of Mr. Thos. G. Cameron of this place), who survives, together with ten children five boys and five girls. Four of the daughters Mary, Sarah, Susan and Agnes are married and reside in Michigan. Isabella lives with her brother Benjamin on the homestead; Neil amd John In Dalhousie; Duncan, near Ardoch ; and Robert, in Michigan. Three of deceased's brothers and two sisters survive him - Alexander, in Dalhousie ; Hugh, Fallbrook; Peter, Brussels, Ont; Mrs.Jas. Lees, Fallbrook and Mrs. Elliott, Michigan.

Deceased took an active interest in municipal affairs, and for seven years served in the capacity of councillor so faithfully that he was promoted, two years ago, to of the highest office in the gift of the people - that of Reeve - and which he occupied at teh time of his death. In his younger days Mr. McDonald followed the standard of the Conservative party, but latterly embraced the principles enunciated by the Reformers, and supported their candidates. He was a member of Snow Road Presbyterian Church, and one of the first to become initiated into membership in Cornucopia Lodge, No. 299, I.O.O.F., at McLaren's Depot. This is the first death to take place in that lodge since it aria instituted nearly eight years ago, and the funeral on Friday to Highland Line Cemetery was conducted by its members, who attended in a body. In the absence of Rev. Jas. Binnie, the Rev. M. McGillivray, of Kingston, officiated at the house and also at the grave. The widow and family have the sincere sympathy of the community in their bereavement.
