Bessie was born July 12, 1886 and died Feb. 5, 1943. She married Alex Dan Mac Donald
who was born Nov 6, 1886 and died July 24, 1967. They married on Jan. 29, 1907 at St.
Margaret’s Church in Arisaig.
The witnesses at their wedding were John McInnis & Margaret McInnis from Doctor’s
Brook. Rev. D.R. Mac Donald married the couple.
They lived in a house in Doctor’s Brook that belonged to Alex Dan’s Uncle Andrew. The
house was over in the hallow beside the house John D. and Annie raised their children in.
John D. and Annie’s house was later lived in by Alex Dan’s brother Peter. Uncle
Andrew’s house was a little house so in 1924-1925 a new house was built. In February of
1926 with Charlie only a baby they moved over to the new house. Collie A. was the first
child born after the move.
