PHlLIP MACDONALD, one of the leading dairymen in Monterey county, came to
California in 1864 from Ontario, Canada.

  Born in Prince Edward county, Canada, February 11, 1845, the son of Henry
Macdonald, a farmer by occupation, was reared on a farm, and was engaged in
agricultural pursuits previous to his coming to this coast. After his arrival in
California he resided in Marin county four years, Fresno county two years, and
then in Santa Cruz county till 1872, when he came to Monterey county. He leased
and operated the Haight ranch two years, after which he came to his present
location in Carmel valley. This property he leases of James Meadows. He owns his
stock, keeping about one hundred and twenty cows. The butter he manufactures in
his dairy is of the best quality, and always commands the highest market price.

New York city. Her father, James Flood, is a pioneer of San Rafael, California,
and is by occupation a dairyman. Mr. and Mrs. Macdonald have six children. Of
Mr. Macdonald's parents, it should be stated that his father was a Highland
Scotchman, and his mother, nee Hannah Pettingill, a native of Albany.
