MCDONALD Donnie, daughter of Oscar and Letha Sassin, was born at Throckmorton, Texas on October 9, 1881. As a child of five years she moved with her parents to Seven Rivers, New Mexico, where she grew to womanhood. Here on June 22, 1892 she was married to Mr. George M. McDonald. To this union, God gave five children, a daughter and four sons. The family later moved to Lakewood, New Mexico and in 1919 came to Texas County, Oklahoma, settling at Optima, which was her home till death called her. Mrs. McDonald knew the sorrows of life. About six years ago, a son, Clarence, was terribly burned and death ensued. Almost a year ago the husband was taken. A few months ago she was stricken with a dread disease and after weeks of patient suffering slipt away to be with her loved one and her Lord in the early morning of November 26, 1935. In 1922 she confessed the Christ as a personal Savior and united with the M. E. Church south at Optima, Oklahoma under the ministry of Rev. Longino. She lived a quiet life of glad faith and helpful service. By her life she gave a full and beautiful meaning to the words daughter, wife, mother, sister and friend. Those who will cherish her memory include the aged mother, Mrs. Letha Sassin, a daughter, Mrs. W. E. Knowles and family of Guymon; three sons, Gerald McDonald and family of Guymon; Ralph McDonald and wife of Optima; Clifford McDonald and wife of Hooker; a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Esther Prestly and family of Liberal, Kansas; a brother, Louis Sassin of Optima; three sisters, Mrs. J. O. Drummond of San Antonio, Texas; Mrs. Hugh H. Johnson of Sudan, Texas, and Mrs. Ben Calvert of Goodwell; seven grandchildren, other relatives and a host of friends.

Songs of faith and hope were sung by a sexette consisting of Mrs. Carl Holt, Mrs. Steve Durst, Carl Holt, Steve Durst, Reggie Frank and Rev. Adrian Rea with Mrs. J. Rea at the piano.
