| <tab>Duncan J. McDougald’s obituary in the //Glengarry News// reported that he “compiled a most complete family history, profusely illustrated, which will prove of great historical value.” The scrapbook or scrapbooks in this family history were restored and the materials remounted in the 1990s. The history remains in private possession, but if it ever comes into public use, the estimate just cited from the //Glengarry News// of its value will be well substantiated. The //Glengarry News// obituary also reported that in late years he had returned to Glengarry almost monthly. | <tab>Duncan J.
