Annie MacKinnon Hurd died of Typhoid Fever in Cleveland in 1892 leaving her grieving husband David Braid Hurd (Herd) and 3 young children. She was my great grandmother.
I think it must be Mackinnon, Mac, Not Mc as in Mckinnon. So her full name must be Annie Mackinnon Herd, The marriage certificate of her Son lists Alexander Mackinnon Herd.

Annie Mckinnon Herd , Mckinnon not Mackinnon is the correct spelling of her Maiden name and her last name was spelled Herd not Hurd. She was my maternal Great Grandmother. Her spouse was David Braid Herd , was first marriage for both on Dec 17 1887 in Watertown Massachusetts they were both age 23. Upon her death David remarried Annie's cousin also named Annie Mckinnon. They had a child Wallace Herd born October 1899 and died shortly after on Dec 9 1899. David died Dec 16 1899 in the Kennebec jail in Augusta Maine while serving an 8 month sentence for selling liquor on his third and successful suicide attempt by cutting the left jugular vein on his neck with a metal lid from a tobacco container. According to the newspaper the Daily Kennebec Journal dated Dec 18, 1899, without anything to work with he broke off a piece of a tobacco box making a jagged edge. With it he sliced his neck on the left side and in doing so badly injured the jugular vein though not severing it but in the hope to do so. After his first suicide attempt In November 1899 he was saved by Surgeons who stitched up his injury with 37 stitches to his windpipe which he had cut with his straight razor in his jail cell as another prisoner had alerted the guards. His second suicide attempt Dec 9 1899 coincided with the death of his two month old infant son Wallace Herd and David jumped from the upper corridor of the jail to the brick floor below and survived having sustained only a broken left forearm and bumps and bruises. While tragic had David not died when he did it is unlikely I would be alive since his oldest surviving child was my Grandfather. Alexander Mckinnon Herd who was sent to Cape Breton Nova Scotia Canada by his Stepmother Annie #2, to be raised by relatives there. Rest in peace Annie #1, David and Grandpa Alex.
