McDonald, Angus

ACTON'S CENTENNARIAN GONE. - On Thursday last Mr. Angus McDonald, - Acton's Centennarian - who was visiting his friends at Uxbridge, departed this life at the remarkable age of 105 years and two months. The old gentleman left Acton on the twenty-third of March, in his usual health, and intended remaining at Uxbridge for some time. Mr. McDonald emigrated to Canada in 1832, having been discharged from the army sixteen years before. He settled on a farm near this village, where he had lived ever since, except when at rare intervals he visited some of his numerous descendants. He had seven children, the majority of whom are still living, and leaves a large progeny extending through four generations. A lengthy account of the deceased's career appeared in the FREE PRESS of February 15th, 1877. The funeral took place on Saturday, and was attended by a number of friends from this village.
