      ANDREW PARKER McDONALD.
      Andrew P. McDonald, popularly known as "Park" McDonald who has a fine estate on section twenty, township twenty-eight, range two, east, Cedar county, is one of the leading citizens of the county and has since its early settlement been one of the leading factors in the upbuilding and advancement of the region. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1843, son of Joseph and Nancy McDonald, his grandfather being a native of Scotland. Mr. McDonald received a common school education and as a young man enlisted for service in the union army, serving from 1861 to 1865, under Captain Patterson. He participated in many important engagements and was with Sherman in the march to the sea.
      In 1881 Mr. McDonald came to Dakota county, Nebraska, and the following year to Cedar county, where he secured the homestead which has since been his home. He erected a frame house twelve by sixteen feet, and also took up a tree claim, improving and developing his land until he has a well equipped farm and substantial buildings. He carries on general farming and stock raising and has met with gratifying success. In the early days he had to contend with the ususal hardships and discouragements of pioneers and often burned hay and weeds to keep warm, as coal was scarce and expensive.
      In 1869 Mr. McDonald was united in marriage with Miss Mary Fultz, and they are parents of the following twelve children: Joseph, Thomas, John, James, William, Lizzie, now Mrs. Thomas Wilcox; Charles, Nannie, now Mrs. Clyde Hoar, of Ardmore, Dakota; Leona, Edward, Etta and George.
