The recent death of H.H. McDonald removed from our midst another member of one of our oldest and most highly respected families, leaving two sisters and three brothers out of an original family of ten.
He was a son of the late George and Sarah (Hutchins)
McDonald, and for several years was associated with his brother Lucius in the harness business on Main street.
He married Sarah E., daughter of the late David W. Dyer, and after homes in several other places settled down in Malden, Mass., where for 15 years they carried on an extensive millinery business. In 1896 they returned to Belfast and built their fine residence on Northport Avenue, where he died, December 9th, at the age of 75 years.
Though an invalid for many years he was often seen upon the streets and in the stores about town. He was a great favorite everywhere, having an unusually sunny disposition, and was never heard to speak a harsh or an unkind word. He bore his periods of suffering with heroic patience, and his genial presence will be sorely
missed in the home and among the neighbors, who were devoted in their attentions to one of whom it could be truly said, "In his spirit there was no guile." Mr. McDonald leaves a widow but no children.
