Biography

Margaret, daughter of James McDonald and Margaret Dods, married William Hanna on July 9, 1894 in Belwood, Ontario. Margaret was from Belwood; they were both Presbyterians. Witnesses at the wedding were Thomas McDonald and Martha Loghrin,^[1] probably William’s mother's first cousin.

In 1901,^[2] William and Margrett [sic] were in Fort William, Ontario and he was a merchant; no earnings were reported. At that time his younger brother, Robert, was living in the neighbouring town of Port Arthur. Margaret died in Medicine Hat in December of that year: The sad news of the death of Mrs. Wm. Hanna, at her home in Medicine Hat, caused a gloom to be cast over the town (Fort William). While residing here Mrs. Hanna formed a large circle of friends who will mourn her loss.^[3]

Margaret is buried in Hillside Cemetery in Medicine Hat.
