General Notes: Husband - John William Donaldson

---

He came to Pennsylvania with the family when but a small boy. His education was principally obtained by self-study, as he was obliged to earn his living at a very early age, working at any employment he could secure. After his marriage, he purchased a portion of the Linn farm in North Strabane township, Washington County, where he remained several years, and then bought and moved to another home in the same township. He took an active part in church work, serving in the Presbyterian Church as trustee nine years, and holding the office of ruling elder for some years. The Society of which he and his family were members was known as the "Dr. McMillan Church." In politics he was an active and valued member of the Republican party.

He and his wife were the parents of eight children.
