| <tab>Henry Sandfield Macdonald died at the age of 37, a few days after being struck down by apoplexy while a conducting a case in the Cornwall Court House. He had been raised as a Roman Catholic, but he had an Anglican funeral at Trinity Church, Cornwall. One of the pallbearers was J. P. Whitney, later premier of Ontario. Macdonald was buried in the Molson family vault, Montreal. He was married to Florence Molson, who later married a Charles Elsdale Spragge. As Macdonald’s widow, she sold the Sandfield Macdonald family home in Cornwall, Ivy Hall, to Fr George Corbet of St. Columban’s, to be used as a hospital. Macdonald, in his will, left small bequests for the beautification of the church at St. Andrew’s West and the placing there of a memorial to himself and his father, and seems to indicate some doubts as to his wife’s good judgment. | <tab>Henry Sandfield Macdonald died at the age of 37, a few days after being struck down by apoplexy while a conducting a case in the Cornwall Court House.
