Andrew took the northeast quarter and Daniel the northwest quarter of section 24, and developed two of the best farms in the township. George took a claim on the southeast quarter of section 13, adjoining And- rew’s. In 1864 he sold this farm to Charles Chevalier, returned to Nova Scotia for an operation on his eyes, and died soon after- ward. It was on a part of the original claim of George Mc- Donald that the Church of St. Ignatius was afterward built.
