Island story

Frank MacDonald is commemorated at R3-001 in the Pioneer Cemetery, where the stone records 1924–1988 and names Annabel C. MacLean, 1925–1954, as his beloved wife. The inscription establishes this memorial spouse relationship. His exact MacDonald branch and the couple’s marriage chronology remain unestablished by this memorial. Annabell’s 1954 death registration names her husband and informant as Frank Wallace MacDonald. This supports the recorded spouse relationship; the sequence between her separately documented 1945 MacKinnon marriage and this later record remains unexplained.
