Real estate agent.
Born at Collingwood, Ontario on 25 December 1868, son of Neil McDonald and Mary Rosell, he was educated in the public school of Clifford, Ontario and the Harriston High School. He worked on the family farm for ten years then purchased land of his own. In 1905 he moved to Winnipeg and operated a wholesale stationery business for two years, selling out in 1907 to go into the real estate business. He worked for the Coward Investment Company for a short time then went into partnership in the firm of McDonald & Whitla. The association ended in 1911 and McDonald continued in business alone, as D. A. McDonald and Company, with offices in the Huron & Erie Building. He was also President of the St. Vital Land Company.
On 3 January 1894, he married Mary Mahetable Tucker (?-?) at Strathclair and they had five children: Ada Eleanor McDonald (1895-?, wife of George Francis Stockdill), Mary A. McDonald (?-?), Albert D. McDonald (?-?), Gertrude E. McDonald (?-?), and Clifford C. McDonald (?-?). He was a member of the Winnipeg Industrial Bureau, Brotherhood of American Yeomen, and Presbyterian Athletic and Literary Associations.
He moved to Berwyn, Illinois in 1925 and died there on 1 November 1929.
