Funeral Friday.

The death notice of my Great Great Great Grandfather Donald Mackay, who died on the 22nd of November, 1912. Published in the Sydney Morning Herald on the 26th of November, 1912. (Source: Trove).  I need to research more about him as I'm curious to know what made him one of Nambucca's pioneers.
