DONALD - Joseph
    There were few better known men in the St. Croix valley than Joseph Donald, whose long and useful career on this earth was closed at two o'clock Sunday afternoon at his home at Dufferin. He died as he had lived at peace with God and man , and in the hope of immortality beyond the grave.
    Mr. Donald was born at Sunderland Barracks, October 22nd 1806 and spent his boyhood days in Workington, County of Cumberland, England. He came to this country in 1826, in the brig "Edgar," of Whitehaven, England. In his 22nd year he married Elizabeth Mary Thornton, daughter of Matthew and Sarah Thornton, who died some years ago. Mr.& Mrs. Donald brought up a large family of children, of whom there are surviving: Joseph Donald, Jr., British Columbia; Robert T. Donald, Dufferin; Mrs Isabella A. Brown, Boston; Mrs Charlotte Hendershot, Dufferin; and Mrs. Amanda A. Libby, Dufferin. Mr. Donald ably represented Charlotte county in the Provincial Legislature and served the Parish of Dufferin for many years as Commissioner of the Parish Court. But perhaps the most valuable service he rendered the people of St. Croix was the freely given knowledge of fruit and flower culture, of which he was the pioneer in the section, and in which science he was highly skilled. Few are the middle-aged residents of either side of the river who have not visited the orchards and greenhouses of Mr Donald. (28 Feb 1900/C.A./#3)
