| Commentaires : | Catherine Katie MacMillan (1875-1922) was the daughter of John & Katie (Rankin) MacMillan of St. Ninian. She married Donald (Sandy) MacDonald, son of Angus Big and Katie (Campbell) MacDonald, in Port Hood on October 21, 1913. They had three children and lived in Harbourview. About 1922 Donald went to Sydney to work in the mines. On the night of December 8, 1922 the family perished in a house fire. Fr. MacPherson consecrated the land where the house once stood because no remains were left of two of the children. Only partial remains of the mother and one child were recovered. Donald Sandy never recovered from the tragedy. He died in 1930 at age 59. According the death certificates, the childrens ages at time of death were: John age 6 Mary Catherine age 7 Catherine Jennet age 5 |
