OBIT - ALEX McDONALD
The news of the death of ALEX McDONALD, Esq. Town Clerk of the Town of Oxford and Justice of the Peace, which occurred on Friday evening caused a feeling of sadness to many friends.

He was appointed Justice of the Peace and served as Representative of the Oxford District in the Municipal Council, after Oxford was Incorporated.
