Kate Copeland MacDonald
ID # 5412, (1870-1941)
| Baptism | Kate Copeland MacDonald was baptized on 24 September 1870 at Quebec Province. |
| Marriage | She married Benjamin Hallowell Brown, son of Sherman Brown and Sarah Dennis, on 19 June 1889 at Stanstead, Sherbrooke, Quebec. Via Ancestry, ex Drouin Collection 1889 / Methodist Church / Stanstead / Sherbrooke, Que Marriage / Brown & MacDonald / 19th of June 1889 On the nineteenth day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty-nine Benjamin Hallowell Brown of the city of Montreal P.Q., insurance manager, a widower, and Kate Copeland MacDonald of Stanstead, illeg., Province of Quebec, a spinster, were united in the Bonds of Holy Matrimony by me by the authority of license in the presence of the following witnesses subscribing their names. Alf'd McCann, clergyman B. Hal. Brown illeg. MacDonald and three more names in varying degrees illegible. |
| Death | She died on 24 September 1941 at Montreal, Quebec, at age 71. |
| Burial | She was buried on 4 October 1941 at Crystal Lake Cemetery, Stanstead, Stanstead Co., Quebec. |
| Note | Kate's date of birth is taken from the 1901 census as enumerated at Montreal. Records show Kate's name to be Kate Copeland MacDonald. It's tempting to wonder if she was a widow and that her maiden name was Copeland. This appears to be not the case, for she is shown as Kate Copeland MacDonald, spinster on her marriage regristration. Beyond that, we have two further records: From the Drouin Collection, Via Ancestry, United Church / Stanstead / Sherbrooke / Quebec Kate Copeland MacDonald, widow of Benjamin Hallowell Brown, of Montreal, died in Montreal, on the twenty fourth day of September in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and forty-one and her remains were cremated at the Crematorium Limited in Montreal and deposited in the Crystal Lake Cemetery of Stanstead on the fourth of October in the same year in the presence of the subscribing witnesses. (signed) O.M. Stewart, minister The first witness's signature is mainly illegible, but the last name might be Brown, and John Shipway. Also, from Interment.net we have a transcription for Crystal Lake Cemetery. This makes it evident that Kate was buried with family members. |
