Ionia Standard - Fri. Nov. 10, 1882

Mr. John McDonald at his home in Ionia, Sunday , September 17th, aged 74 years. 
The death of an old resident seems to require something more than merely a 
passing notice, John McDonald was born in Pennsylvania, Armstrong county, then 
left his native town and started for the state of Ohio, where he was engaged in 
the merchant tailoring business for about five years, and in the autumn 
following, he with his family and several others came to Michigan, where he has 
since resided, thus being a resident for 28 years, has been a member of the 
Presbyterian church for 40 years.  He was a Christian, a kind and loving 
father, ever ready to do his duty in whatever position he was placed. He leaves 
a wife and eight children to mourn his loss. The funeral services were held at 
the Presbyterian church, Tuesday September 19th. An excellent address was given 
by Rev. Lamb.
