Arizona Republican-March 25, 1903
A.F. MACDONALD
Arizona Republican Newspaper
March 25, 1903

Saturday evening W.A. MacDonald of Mesa City received a 
telegram notifying him of the death of his father, A.F. 
MacDonald at Casa Grandes, Mexico.  Accompanied by his 
brother, G.A. MacDonald and his sister, Mrs. Maggie 
Sorenson he left on the evening train for Mexico.

The death was very sudden and was a terrible shock to 
the family.  Mr. MacDonald had been in the mountains 
where he was taken very sick, and after getting some 
better he was taken to El Paso for treatment, remaining 
there but a short time.  On his return to Casas Grandes 
he suffered another attack which proved fatal.

A.F. MacDonald was one of the early settlers of Mesa City 
and was the first president of the Maricopa stake of the 
Mormon Church or Latter Day Saints and was released from 
that position only when he left for Mexico.  He has been 
a pioneer all his days and probably has done as much as 
any man with similar advantages to colonize and settle 
up the new countries in the south and west.  He had a 
master mind and was a born leader of men, commanding 
their love, respect and confidence in all positions.  
His loss will be felt in the colonies of Mexico and he 
will be mourned by all who knew him.
