Annabel Catherine MacLean MacDonald

Island story

Annabel Catherine MacLean MacDonald is commemorated at R3-001 in the Pioneer Cemetery. The stone records Annabel C. MacLean, 1925–1954, as the beloved wife of Frank MacDonald, 1924–1988. This explicit inscription establishes their memorial spouse relationship; it does not establish the date or circumstances of their marriage. Annabell MacDonald's 1954 death return records her as born and resident on Pictou Island and names William MacLean and Cora MacCallum as her parents. It identifies Frank Wallace MacDonald as her husband and informant. She died on 3 June 1954 at Pictou. Her earlier 1945 marriage under the name Annabell Catherine MacLean to William Miles MacKinnon is a separate documented event. The sources establish the recorded family identities without explaining how that marriage ended or how her surname changed.
