JOHN VINATTI McDONALD - born ??
"Well Known Musician is Dead
Prof. McDonald, of Bolesville, Dies This Morning
A Finished Artist Studied in Europe
A Favorite in Musical Social and Religious circles - Leaves A Mourning
Wife
While the death of Prof. John Vinatti McDonald, which occurred at his
home in Bolesville, at 8:30 o'clock this forenoon, was not unexpected, it
will nevertheless cause sincere regret to an unusually large number of friends
throughout the Beaver valley. A man of marked refinement of manners, accomplished
far beyond most men in his chosen profession of music and cultured by study
both in this country and in Europe he was, though always unobtrusive, ever
a welcome guest at the social and religious gatherings in our towns. He
was the second son of the late Captain John V. McDonald, and his early boyhood
home was at Stone's Point, then among the most beautiful location in the
county. He attended Columbia College, New York and later spent some years
in Europe, perfecting himself in music, of which he has been a successful
teacher for a number of years. In 1897, on the 20th of June, he married
Miss Sarah E. Jackson of Bolesville. Miss Jackson was a graduate of Beaver
college and later on an accomplished teacher in the Beaver Falls public
schools. They were an ideal couple, with a home where affection and refinement
were marked features. Prof. McDonald is survived by his wife, one sister,
Mrs. Dr. Wiley, of Pittsburgh, and four brothers, Captain James McDonald
of Bridgewater, Addison, Charles and Sharp, all dentists of Pittsburgh.
The funeral will be at 2 o'clock on Thursday afternoon from the Presbyterian
church of Bridgewater, whose choir he so long controlled, and in whose membership
he so long performed such useful services.
