Catherine A. MacDonald MacCallum

Island story

Catherine A. MacDonald MacCallum is commemorated with Arthur Roy MacCallum at Church Cemetery memorial C-012, which records her as 1911–1997. Her delayed birth application records Catherine Adeline MacDonald, born on Pictou Island on 16 June 1911, with parents John William MacDonald and Hughena MacDonald. The attached certified census search identifies Catherine, aged nine, with John W. and Hughena in 1921, Cassie, nineteen, with John C. and Maggie in 1931, and Catherine A. MacCallum, twenty-nine, with husband A. Roy MacCallum in 1941. Those extracts were issued later and are not fresh inspections of the original census pages. Roy also certified a family-Bible entry naming the same parents and birthday. Their son Elroy Dunn MacCallum’s obituary independently identifies Arthur Roy and Catherine (MacDonald) MacCallum as his parents. Together these sources connect the existing Catherine–Roy family to John William and Hughena. The separate eleven-year-old Catherine MacDonald in the 1931 Island census remains a different person.
