The Miller Press December 7, 2011
One of Hand County’s (SD) old settlers passed away on December 1 in the person 
of Benjamin Franklin McDonald. He was born near Oxford, Chester County, Penn., 
April 13, 1824. During the Civil War he enlisted as a volunteer. While the 
deceased was at the front, the mother and wife nobly endeavored to manage the 
farm and support the children. To add to her sorrows while the father was 
fighting for his country, it pleased Providence to take two of her children by 
death. On April 18, 1883 he came to Hand Co., Dakota Territory, where he 
resided until his death. He was interred at Burdette Cemetery on Sunday, Dec. 
3. A large company of neighbors and friends gathered to pay their last 
respects to the aged veteran.

NOTE: the obituary in The Miller Press appeared on the 100th anniversary of 
Mr. MacDonald's death in 1911.
