The Enterprise, July 6, 1906
In Memoriam
  There is nothing more beautiful than a beautiful life. A true measure
of life is not in years, but in deeds and in the good that develops from 
those deeds. If we measure the life of Mrs. Ann McDonald by this standard
we can say, hers was full. The news of her death which sad event occurred at 
her home on May 23d, was received with universal sorrow by the community. 
Six weeks before her death she was comparatively in good health but disease
seized upon her and, not withstanding the fact that skilled physicians and
loving hands did all that human agencies could do, death claimed her as its
victim. In her church she was dear to old and young, being a paton of every
good virtue. If we could pass through the noblest religious life and call
from it the rarest flowers and weave them into one bright picture it would
barely portray the unselfish Christian career of Mrs. McDonald. Death is a 
mystery at all times, and when the cruel reaper comes amongst us and
selects one so amiable we are more that mystified. But, while it is beyond
our comprehension to understand why we should be deprived of the sweet 
influences of this noble life, when by her living she would have wooed
her friends and associates to a higher, nobler life, we must humbly bow to the 
will of "Him who doeth all things well."
L. M.
