Misc. Notes
8Murdoch McRae
One Monday evening, Feb. 24, 1908, at 7:30, Murodch McFae of this village was called beyond.
Mr. McRae had been in poor health all winter and at his advanced age those who were in attendance on him knew, some two weeks since, when there was a decided change for the worse, that he could not long survive. His malady was pronounced by the doctor heart disease.
Mr McRae left, besides the widow, two sons, Roderick McRae of Rosebud, Mont., and Kenneth McRae of Calgary, Canada, and five daughters, Mrs. John Davidson and Mrs. John McRae of Lee, Mont., Mrs. Thomas W. Egan of Terry, and Misses Catherine and Jean McRae.
Mr. McRae was born in the Parish fo Kintail, Rosshire, Scotland, in 1828, and came to Ontario in 1847, where he lived on a farm for about fifty years. He was married there in 1861 to Miss Catherine McLennan, who still survives and is making her home with her daughter at this place. About 1903 Mr. McRae moved to Calgary, where he lost two sons. From Calgary he came to Terry, where he has since resided with his daughter, Mrs. T.W. Egan.
He was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church, and the funeral services here at the Union church Wednesday afternoon were conducted by Rev. Henry A. James of Miles City. The remains were taken to the cemetery at Calgary, where his two sons are interred, the body being accompanied by Kenneth McRae.
Mr. McRae came to America, as aboved stated in 1847, about the time of the great cholera epidemic. He lost his father and one brother from the disease. As one of the pioneers of that section of Canada he passed through and surmounted many trials and hardships in establishing his hime and was a man of strong will and character. Although 80 years of age at the time of coming to Terry he was a noticable figure, and in the short time he resided here won the respect and esteem of all who met him. His powerful figure and genial manners naturally attracted attention.
The family have the sympathy of the community in their loss.
