Eighth Generation (Continued)
Family of Maria CORNISH (337) & William BOUNDY Jr.
550. Grace BOUNDY (Maria CORNISH7, Samuel6, Philip5, Samuel4, Gideon3, Phillip2, John1). Born on 13 Feb 1828. Grace died in PEI on 30 Jan 1861; she was 32.
RESEARCH NOTES:
- Can’t find a record for a baptism for a Grace Boundy in Kilkhampton in this time frame. (ca 1828) Her mother Maria didn’t marry William Boundy until 30 Oct 1828, so Grace’s birth happened before this. In Kilkhampton baptismes on 05-Mar 1826 (see below), found a Grace CORNISH (not Boundy), daughter of Maria, singlewoman (no father listed). Register Notes: spurious
- Laing said that Grace was born 13 Feb 1828 - not sure the source - but this can’t be if baptism was in 1826. So this is still a mystery. Family legend had it that Grace Boundy and Dorcan Ann Boundy (the other wife of Robert Hamilton McDonald) were sisters, but perhaps they were cousins instead??? Or half sisters if she was the one born in 1826.

A thrill of pleasure came to me
Through that kind Care late shown to thee,
From friendly minds that did compare
To mark their pleasure with your own.
And I, yes, I, who have known you long,
With Heart & Soul would still prolong,
The hearty greetings which they gave,
And waft my greetings with the Love.
I fain would touch the Master Card
that makes you and I to feel,
Because we are reading in the Log
How much of Life is of the reel.
For I have passed my own three score,
And you are now in Eight-four.
I knew you when, in Manhoods prime,
knew your struggles of place and time,
Thats how evolved to such extent,
The younger race have never covenant.(?)
Divine Right were never thought by you,
To be only of value to the few,
Your warm heart and liberal mind,
Was ever ready to be kind.
Considerate and with enduring principle,
Good common sense
You shunned the evils of the day,
The mock ? pretimer, (???)
Nor did you ever once disgrace,
Your manly course while in the race.
Shakespeare’s lessons ever new,
To thine own self was always true,
A grander simple life I never knew.
And as the night follows the day,
No man was ever want to say,
James’ Griggs’ life was but a sham,
Or that he was false to any man.
The friends hat met with you did as they should.
They knew that to be wise is to be good.
I know they are kind and count them true,
God grant that, year by year, they will renew
And give you comfort and good cheer,
Which is your humble servant’s prayer.

- 1924 obit, From Laing MacDowell, as posted in the Island Register, Nov 14, 2008:
Mr. R.H. McDonald Has Passed Away - March 3, 1924:
Laing MacDowell's grandfather, R. H. MacDonald was an ardent anti-demon-Rum speaker and usually spoke in Schools. His three sons were evidently always looking for excitement and, while the father was preaching his anti-rum tirades, the boys were gathering empty bottles to stuff in his coat in the locker room! He did not find out for many months who was doing it!
"Summerside mourns today the loss of one of its oldest and most honored citizens in the person of Mr. Robert H. McDonald, who passed to his eternal rest about 8 o’clock on Sunday evening, thus bringing to a close a life of more than ordinary length and usefulness. Mr. McDonald was a man of high intelligence, whose active mind was well stored with knowledge and who retained all his faculties in a remarkable manner to the very last.
A native of Scotland, from which country he took his departure before he was out of his teens, his memory remained such that he could vividly portray events which occurred in his boyhood in the Old Land with a clearness as to detail as if they had only happened a few days previously. Time did not seem to affect his memory and it was a pleasure to his friends, on many an occasion, to listen to his most interesting and illuminating reminiscences of the days long past. He is gone and leaves the fragrance of a well-spent life.
Mr. McDonald had attained the ripe age of ninety years. He first saw the light of day in Glasgow, on December 15,1833, the son of Ronald and Agnes (Hamilton) McDonald, natives of that city. His paternal ancestors were natives of the Isle of Skye, Scotland, while the Hamiltons were of lowland stock. The deceased spent his school days in Glasgow, subsequently accompanying his family, upon their removal, to Edinburgh where he learned the trade of tanner and currier. He came to Prince Edward Island in the fall of 1852 locating at Charlottetown where he worked at his trade as tanner for a while with the late Richard Heartz and afterwards for two years with the late John L. Godkin. He then went to work with the late Ephriam Read of Summerside with whom he continued a short time and then went to St. Eleanors and engaged with the late Benjamin Darby with whom he remained for several years. Removing next to West Cape he engaged in business on his own account for five years at the end of which time he sold out and removed to St. Eleanors on the Linkletter Road where he built a tannery which he successfully conducted until 1895 conducting at the same time a general merchandise business at St. Eleanors, carrying on the two enterprises simultaneously for 27 years. At the close of this period he sold the store and confined his attention to the cultivation of his fine farm of fifty acres, bringing it up to a good state of cultivation. In the year 1909 he disposed of his farm at St. Eleanors and came to Summerside to live. He was a prominent member of the Masonic Order and had the distinction up to the time of his death of being probably the oldest Mason in the Province, being a member of King Hiram Lodge since November 4, 1865. While at St. Eleanors he served as Postmaster for a number of years and was a member of the district School Board for twenty years. In politics he was a Conservative and in his early life contested the district in the interest of his party. He had also the honor to be a member of the commission on the valuation of lands at the time the Government bought out the land-owners.
Since coming to Summerside to make his home Mr. McDonald took a very active interest in all public affairs especially in the Board of Trade of which he became Secretary in which position he rendered splendid service and was a particularly faithful servant. He continued in this capacity until only a couple of years ago, when, upon his retirement he was presented with a suitable address and life membership in the Board. Mr. McDonald during his life was an active worker in the cause of temperance and spent much time in its advocacy, lecturing the various parts of the Province, and the influence he had in helping the weak in this way can never be estimated.
He was one of the originators of the Farmers Mutual Agricultural Society and for fourteen years spent much of his time and means in the furtherance of this excellent origination visiting all parts of the Island and doing much to perpetuate its prosperity. He was also one of the originators of the Mutual Agricultural Fire Insurance Company of Summerside and was a member of its Board of Directors for some years. He also took an active part in civic affairs and was elected a member of the Water and Sewerage Commission being chairman of the Board from February 1921 to February 1923. In April, 1862 Mr. McDonald married Miss Dorcas Boundy, who came from England with her father, William Boundy who was engaged in farming at Lot 17. She predeceased him about five years ago.
He is survived by following children: Mrs. Fletcher Cannon and Mrs. Edward Damon of Gardener Mass.; Mrs. E.W. Thompson of Aurora Ohio; Mrs. George Lutz of Oldtown Maine; Mrs. James Squarebriggs of Miscouche PEI; Mrs A.B. Clarke of Linkletter; and Mrs. A.W. McDowell of Summerside. The sons are A.D. McDonald Cleveland Ohio, Wesley McDonald, Chicago and one sister Mrs. Margaret Machon of Murray Harbor, P.E.I. besides a large number of the grand and great grandchildren."

He was also a rabid teetotaler and travelled the Island constantly preaching against “The demon rum”.
- Email from Laing 14 Nov 2008:
“I HAD A SCRAPBOOK FROM R.H.. {which my oldest sister started for him} with many articles he had written to the papers. I scanned and sent most of them to the Island Register where you can find them. You should read them! They are well written (some lengthy) and some are even timely... about free trade!!”
“These verses were written to Mr. James Grigg of West Devon, because I was unable to attend to the celebration of his 84h bihday------------
A thrill of pleasure came to me
Through that kind Care late shown to thee,
From friendly minds that did compare
To mark their pleasure with your own.
And I, yes, I, who have known you long,
With Heart & Soul would still prolong,
The hearty greetings which they gave,
And waft my greetings with the Love.
I fain would touch the Master Card
that makes you and I to feel,
Because we are reading in the Log
How much of Life is of the reel.
For I have passed my own three score,
And you are now in Eight-four.
I knew you when, in Manhoods prime,
knew your struggles of place and time,
Thats how evolved to such extent,
The younger race have never covenant.(?)
Divine Right were never thought by you,
To be only of value to the few,
Your warm heart and liberal mind,
Was ever ready to be kind.
Considerate and with enduring principle,
Good common sense
You shunned the evils of the day,
The mock ? pretimer, (???)
Nor did you ever once disgrace,
Your manly course while in the race.
Shakespeare’s lessons ever new,
To thine own self was always true,
A grander simple life I never knew.
And as the night follows the day,
No man was ever want to say,
James’ Griggs’ life was but a sham,
Or that he was false to any man.
The friends hat met with you did as they should.
They knew that to be wise is to be good.
I know they are kind and count them true,
God grant that, year by year, they will renew
And give you comfort and good cheer,
Which is your humble servant’s prayer.
R.H. McDonald
N.B. The are a least 2 questionable spots in the poem which I could not read (or imagine) what they were.
- 1924 obit, From Laing MacDowell, as posted in the Island Register, Nov 14, 2008:
Mr. R.H. McDonald Has Passed Away - March 3, 1924:
Laing MacDowell's grandfather, R. H. MacDonald was an ardent anti-demon-Rum speaker and usually spoke in Schools. His three sons were evidently always looking for excitement and, while the father was preaching his anti-rum tirades, the boys were gathering empty bottles to stuff in his coat in the locker room! He did not find out for many months who was doing it!
"Summerside mourns today the loss of one of its oldest and most honored citizens in the person of Mr. Robert H. McDonald, who passed to his eternal rest about 8 o’clock on Sunday evening, thus bringing to a close a life of more than ordinary length and usefulness. Mr. McDonald was a man of high intelligence, whose active mind was well stored with knowledge and who retained all his faculties in a remarkable manner to the very last.
A native of Scotland, from which country he took his departure before he was out of his teens, his memory remained such that he could vividly portray events which occurred in his boyhood in the Old Land with a clearness as to detail as if they had only happened a few days previously. Time did not seem to affect his memory and it was a pleasure to his friends, on many an occasion, to listen to his most interesting and illuminating reminiscences of the days long past. He is gone and leaves the fragrance of a well-spent life.
Mr. McDonald had attained the ripe age of ninety years. He first saw the light of day in Glasgow, on December 15,1833, the son of Ronald and Agnes (Hamilton) McDonald, natives of that city. His paternal ancestors were natives of the Isle of Skye, Scotland, while the Hamiltons were of lowland stock. The deceased spent his school days in Glasgow, subsequently accompanying his family, upon their removal, to Edinburgh where he learned the trade of tanner and currier. He came to Prince Edward Island in the fall of 1852 locating at Charlottetown where he worked at his trade as tanner for a while with the late Richard Heartz and afterwards for two years with the late John L. Godkin. He then went to work with the late Ephriam Read of Summerside with whom he continued a short time and then went to St. Eleanors and engaged with the late Benjamin Darby with whom he remained for several years. Removing next to West Cape he engaged in business on his own account for five years at the end of which time he sold out and removed to St. Eleanors on the Linkletter Road where he built a tannery which he successfully conducted until 1895 conducting at the same time a general merchandise business at St. Eleanors, carrying on the two enterprises simultaneously for 27 years. At the close of this period he sold the store and confined his attention to the cultivation of his fine farm of fifty acres, bringing it up to a good state of cultivation. In the year 1909 he disposed of his farm at St. Eleanors and came to Summerside to live. He was a prominent member of the Masonic Order and had the distinction up to the time of his death of being probably the oldest Mason in the Province, being a member of King Hiram Lodge since November 4, 1865. While at St. Eleanors he served as Postmaster for a number of years and was a member of the district School Board for twenty years. In politics he was a Conservative and in his early life contested the district in the interest of his party. He had also the honor to be a member of the commission on the valuation of lands at the time the Government bought out the land-owners.
Since coming to Summerside to make his home Mr. McDonald took a very active interest in all public affairs especially in the Board of Trade of which he became Secretary in which position he rendered splendid service and was a particularly faithful servant. He continued in this capacity until only a couple of years ago, when, upon his retirement he was presented with a suitable address and life membership in the Board. Mr. McDonald during his life was an active worker in the cause of temperance and spent much time in its advocacy, lecturing the various parts of the Province, and the influence he had in helping the weak in this way can never be estimated.
He was one of the originators of the Farmers Mutual Agricultural Society and for fourteen years spent much of his time and means in the furtherance of this excellent origination visiting all parts of the Island and doing much to perpetuate its prosperity. He was also one of the originators of the Mutual Agricultural Fire Insurance Company of Summerside and was a member of its Board of Directors for some years. He also took an active part in civic affairs and was elected a member of the Water and Sewerage Commission being chairman of the Board from February 1921 to February 1923. In April, 1862 Mr. McDonald married Miss Dorcas Boundy, who came from England with her father, William Boundy who was engaged in farming at Lot 17. She predeceased him about five years ago.
He is survived by following children: Mrs. Fletcher Cannon and Mrs. Edward Damon of Gardener Mass.; Mrs. E.W. Thompson of Aurora Ohio; Mrs. George Lutz of Oldtown Maine; Mrs. James Squarebriggs of Miscouche PEI; Mrs A.B. Clarke of Linkletter; and Mrs. A.W. McDowell of Summerside. The sons are A.D. McDonald Cleveland Ohio, Wesley McDonald, Chicago and one sister Mrs. Margaret Machon of Murray Harbor, P.E.I. besides a large number of the grand and great grandchildren."

- Email from Laing 14 Nov 2008:
“I HAD A SCRAPBOOK FROM R.H.. {which my oldest sister started for him} with many articles he had written to the papers. I scanned and sent most of them to the Island Register where you can find them. You should read them! They are well written (some lengthy) and some are even timely... about free trade!!”
“These verses were written to Mr. James Grigg of West Devon, because I was unable to attend to the celebration of his 84h bihday------------
A thrill of pleasure came to me
Through that kind Care late shown to thee,
From friendly minds that did compare
To mark their pleasure with your own.
And I, yes, I, who have known you long,
With Heart & Soul would still prolong,
The hearty greetings which they gave,
And waft my greetings with the Love.
I fain would touch the Master Card
that makes you and I to feel,
Because we are reading in the Log
How much of Life is of the reel.
For I have passed my own three score,
And you are now in Eight-four.
I knew you when, in Manhoods prime,
knew your struggles of place and time,
Thats how evolved to such extent,
The younger race have never covenant.(?)
Divine Right were never thought by you,
To be only of value to the few,
Your warm heart and liberal mind,
Was ever ready to be kind.
Considerate and with enduring principle,
Good common sense
You shunned the evils of the day,
The mock ? pretimer, (???)
Nor did you ever once disgrace,
Your manly course while in the race.
Shakespeare’s lessons ever new,
To thine own self was always true,
A grander simple life I never knew.
And as the night follows the day,
No man was ever want to say,
James’ Griggs’ life was but a sham,
Or that he was false to any man.
The friends hat met with you did as they should.
They knew that to be wise is to be good.
I know they are kind and count them true,
God grant that, year by year, they will renew
And give you comfort and good cheer,
Which is your humble servant’s prayer.
R.H. McDonald
N.B. The are a least 2 questionable spots in the poem which I could not read (or imagine) what they were.
- 1924 obit, From Laing MacDowell, as posted in the Island Register, Nov 14, 2008:
Mr. R.H. McDonald Has Passed Away - March 3, 1924:
Laing MacDowell's grandfather, R. H. MacDonald was an ardent anti-demon-Rum speaker and usually spoke in Schools. His three sons were evidently always looking for excitement and, while the father was preaching his anti-rum tirades, the boys were gathering empty bottles to stuff in his coat in the locker room! He did not find out for many months who was doing it!
"Summerside mourns today the loss of one of its oldest and most honored citizens in the person of Mr. Robert H. McDonald, who passed to his eternal rest about 8 o’clock on Sunday evening, thus bringing to a close a life of more than ordinary length and usefulness. Mr. McDonald was a man of high intelligence, whose active mind was well stored with knowledge and who retained all his faculties in a remarkable manner to the very last.
A native of Scotland, from which country he took his departure before he was out of his teens, his memory remained such that he could vividly portray events which occurred in his boyhood in the Old Land with a clearness as to detail as if they had only happened a few days previously. Time did not seem to affect his memory and it was a pleasure to his friends, on many an occasion, to listen to his most interesting and illuminating reminiscences of the days long past. He is gone and leaves the fragrance of a well-spent life.
Mr. McDonald had attained the ripe age of ninety years. He first saw the light of day in Glasgow, on December 15,1833, the son of Ronald and Agnes (Hamilton) McDonald, natives of that city. His paternal ancestors were natives of the Isle of Skye, Scotland, while the Hamiltons were of lowland stock. The deceased spent his school days in Glasgow, subsequently accompanying his family, upon their removal, to Edinburgh where he learned the trade of tanner and currier. He came to Prince Edward Island in the fall of 1852 locating at Charlottetown where he worked at his trade as tanner for a while with the late Richard Heartz and afterwards for two years with the late John L. Godkin. He then went to work with the late Ephriam Read of Summerside with whom he continued a short time and then went to St. Eleanors and engaged with the late Benjamin Darby with whom he remained for several years. Removing next to West Cape he engaged in business on his own account for five years at the end of which time he sold out and removed to St. Eleanors on the Linkletter Road where he built a tannery which he successfully conducted until 1895 conducting at the same time a general merchandise business at St. Eleanors, carrying on the two enterprises simultaneously for 27 years. At the close of this period he sold the store and confined his attention to the cultivation of his fine farm of fifty acres, bringing it up to a good state of cultivation.

He is survived by following children: Mrs. Fletcher Cannon and Mrs. Edward Damon of Gardener Mass.; Mrs. E.W.
