Minnie Magdeline Pierce, second daughter of Napolean B. and Nancy Ann Pierce, was born October 1, 1870 and departed this life September 4, 1935 at the age of 64 years, 11 months and 4 days.
On July 31, 1890 she was united in marriage to Andrew J. McDonald by the Elder John P. Davis. This union was blest by the birth of eight children, Alta, Clinton, Cleo, Anna, Audra, Rex, Grace and Elsie. Besides these children and a loving husband, twelve grandchildren, three sisters, three brothers, five son-in-laws and three daughter-in-laws survive.
At the age of sixteen she confessed her Christ and united with the Church of Christ at Antioch under the pastorate of Elder Richard Bex and later transferred her membership to the New Prospect Church of Christ.
Throughout her entire life she held to a firm conviction that Christian living exemplifies itself in service to others and devotion to home and family. For more than forty-five years she labored with untiring effort to rear her children in the best possible manner. Their joys were hers and their troubles found ease in her sympathetic attitude. There is great solace in the thought that she was truly a wonderful Mother. Her great happiness when visited by her children will be lasting in the memory of all.
When it came time for God to take her, the call came suddenly and after a week's illness her soul went home to Him. Her passing breaks the family circle kept so long intact.
