George F. McDonald
GEORGE F. McDONALD, M.D., of Scotch-Irish Presbyterian descent, and a well-established
physician of Gallitzin, is a son of John R. and Rebecca W. (Reed) McDonald
and was born in the celebrated Logstown bottom, Beaver County, Pennsylvania,
August 14, 1855.
The McDonalds trace their seventeenth century home to the celebrated highlands
of Scotland, whose early history contains frequent mention of the family,
numerous members of which were distinguished for strength, agility and bravery.
They were of Covenanter faith and Covenanter courage.
About the close of the last century, Rev. Andrew McDonald, a member of this
family, came to Beaver county, where he was one of the pioneer Presbyterian
ministers of his day, and the first pastor of the Mt. Carmel church, which
he served up to his death at the age of seventy years. He was a man of ability,
piety and will-power, and his son, John R. McDonald, was born in Logstown
bottom, March 3, 1813, and died November 17, 1876.
Mr. McDonald was a farmer and a man of reserved manner, but who was highly
respected for his integrity and exemplary life. He served as an elder of
Mt. Carmel church for over forty years, and during the late Civil War enlisted
many soldiers of the union army. Patriotic and philanthropic, his services
were constantly in demand by his neighbors an fellow-citizens. He was a
man of excellent personal habits, and never drank when liquor was common
in the harvest field and at the sideboard.
He married Rebecca W. Reed, who is a daughter of Henry Reed, who came with
his parents from Ireland, and was among the early settlers of Beaver county,
in which he died in 1863, aged sixty-nine years. Mrs. McDonald was born
in 1815, resides at Beaver Falls, this State, and is quite active for her
advanced age.
Dr. George F. McDonald grew to years of maturity on his father's Beaver
county farm, and after attending the common schools and Beaver Seminary,
entered Wood Lawn academy, from which he was graduated in 1874. Leaving
the academy he taught school for four years, and then took up the study
of medicine. He read with Dr. James McCann, of Pittsburgh, and entered the
medical department of the Western Reserve university, at Cleveland, Ohio,
form which he was graduated March 4, 1886. In the year of his graduation
he opened an office at Monaco, Beaver county, where he practiced for two
years in connection with conducting a drug store. At the end of that time,
in 1888, he disposed of his practice and drug business, and came to Gallitzin
where he has been engaged ever since in the successful practice of his chosen
profession.
In addition to his general practice, Dr. McDonald has been acting physician
and surgeon for the Mitchell Coal & Coke company, for the last eight
years. He has also a fine drug store. He has been for some time a member
of the Cambria County Medical Society, and is well up in his profession
both theoretically and practically. He is a member of the Presbyterian church.
He is also a prominent mason, being a member of Portage Lodge, No. 220,
F. and A.M.
On April 4, 1888, Dr. McDonald married Lydia J. McConnell, a daughter of
J.F. McConnell, of Wilkinsburg, Allegheny county. Dr. and Mrs. McDonald
have four children, tow sons and two daughters: Earle W., George F., Katie
R., and R. Eleanor.

was born in Scotland in 1826, and was graduated in the course of civil engineering
from the famous university of Edinburgh. He resided in one of the suburban
districts of the city of Glasgow until 1855, in which year he came to Canada,
and was employed for two years as an engineer on the construction of the
great Canadian and Pacific railroad. He then, with his brother-in-law, Laughlin
McDonald, also a civil engineer, went to Memphis, Tennessee, and embarked

they lost one of their boats and a large amount of property. After the war
