MRS. MARY M'DONALD
Mrs. Mary McDonald, 76 years old, pioneer resident of San Bernardino, where she lived for 52 years, died at her home, 1822 South Flower Street, Los Angeles, at 4:20 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Word of her death came as a surprise to her sister, Mrs. John H. Barton, 665 D Street, San Bernardino, and to her brother, D. R. Seely of Highland, who believed Mrs. McDonald in good health.
Had Mrs. McDonald lived until Christmas Day, she would have been 77 years old. She was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Dec. 25, 1846, and came to San Bernardino as a small child with her parents, David and Mary Seely, in 1851. With her death is dropped a link in one of the most prominent of pioneer families.
Mrs. McDonald was known to the earlier residents as Mrs. John Satterwhite. Her first husband, Mr. Satterwhite, was a leading pioneer attorney of San Bernardino, and prominent in politics.
Mrs. McDonald was for years the owner of large property interests in the early days, at one time owning the west half of the block, facing on Court Street between D and E Streets as well as E Street frontage. At the time of her death she owned property just north of the Garner Building on E Street.
Mrs. McDonald, although not active in club or church work, was always looked upon as of more than ordinary ability in business dealings.
She is survived by three sons, John W. Satterwhite and Walter Satterwhite of Los Angeles and William T. Satterwhite of Sacramento;
a daughter, Mrs. Dolly Bonner of Los Angeles;
two sisters, Mrs. John H. Barton of San Bernardino and Mrs. Isabel Corbett or Seattle, and a brother, D. R. Seely of Highland.
All of the sons are practicing law.
No funeral arrangements had been made last night.

HEIRS SUE OVER PART IN ESTATE
Son and Daughter Charge Brother Exerted Influence in Satterwhite Will
Declaring the large estate of the pioneer Satterwhite family of San Bernardino had been unequally disposed of among the heirs, Mrs. Alberlia Dollie Bouterious and William T. Satterwhite, an examiner for the State Railroad Commission in Oakland, yesterday filed separate contests of the will of their mother, the late Mrs. Mary A. McDonald, who died December 17, 1923.
Both contestants based their suits on allegations that Walter Satterwhite, another son, had received more than a proper share of the estate. He also was charged with exerting an undue influence over his mother.
Dr. Reginald R. McDonald, the surviving husband, was left $5 under the terms of his wife's will, while the remainder of the property was apportioned among three sons and the daughter.
Mrs. Bouterious set forth the following estimates of value of the specific bequests: $86,000 to Walter Satterwhite, $50,000 to William T. Satterwhite and John W. Satterwhite jointly, $9,000 to herself.
She declared the will was not drawn according to the law and that Mrs. McDonald was incompetent at the time the document was executed.
