Later Generations

From this point on, I will not try to document all lines of descent from Peter McDougall and Catherine Campbell. Instead, I will focus on the line that led to the author. Before I discuss the family of Peter B. McDougall, however, I will summarize what I know of his siblings. There is not much to tell; the information is sparse.

• I don't know what became of Susan Ann, John L., or Edward F. McDougall, beyond the fact that they grew to adulthood.

• William J. McDougall remained unmarried and moved to Madison County, Montana.

• Marjory (McDougall) Bullard married, had two sons who died young, then had three girls who grew up and had families of their own. Her husband drowned only eight years into their marriage. She did not remarry.

• Katherine (McDougall) Dennehy married and had a daughter and a son in Minnesota before moving to Spokane, Washington.

• Donald Grant McDougall apparently moved to Illinois. He was in Company D of the 4 ^th Illinois Infantry during the Spanish American War. In 1920, Grant and his wife Katherine were living in Quincey, Illinois.

• James Archibald “Archie” McDougall served in Company A of the 14 ^th Minnesota Infantry during the Spanish American War. He apparently did not marry and was still living in Cohasset, Minnesota in 1938.

Peter B. McDougall (1851-1919)

Peter B. McDougall married Elizabeth Gilmer in 1881. Elizabeth (1860-1938) was the daughter of John Gilmer and Mary Roseann Hollister, who had recently moved their family to Royalton from the same part of Ontario that Peter B.'s parents had left 30 years earlier. John Gilmer's parents had brought him from Ireland as an infant; Mary Roseann Hollister's parents were descendants of British Loyalists who had moved to Canada from the United States after the Revolutionary War. Peter B. McDougall and Elizabeth Gilmer had seven children and 17 grandchildren:

1)	Peter A. “Pidge”	b. 1880 MN	m. Mabel Erickson	2 children
2)	John Donald “Johnny”	b. 1884 MN
3)	Carrie “Cad”	b. 1885 MN	m. Paul Ovrum
4)	William “Billy”	b. 1887 MN	m. Olive Olson	1 child
			m. Mary Whitney	2 children
5)	Fleda	b. 1889 MN	m. George A. Clark	4 children
6)	Blaine	b. 1891 MN	m. Alura Milbery	2 children
7)	Wallace	b. 1893 MN	m. Mayme McVeety	6 children

I will discuss each of their children briefly, with the exception of my grandfather Wallace, who I discuss in more detail in the following section.

• Pidge was working at the Royalton Lumber Yard in 1910, but then apparently moved away. He was living in Bemidji in 1911, in Duluth with his wife Mabel and daughter Jean in 1920, and in Effie, Minnesota in 1938. Pidge and Mabel also had a child that died young. Jean married and moved to California. She and her son still live there today. Pidge died in 1948 and is buried in the Royalton Riverside Cemetery.

• Johnny worked at a bank in Bowlus and did not marry. He died in 1923 and is buried in the Royalton Riverside Cemetery.

• Cad was a schoolteacher in Anoka, among other places. She married briefly, but had no children. Cad died in 1972 and is buried in the Royalton Riverside Cemetery.

• Billy was a dentist and practiced in Minneapolis. His first marriage to Olive Olson produced two children, John Robert “Sandy” McDougall and another boy who died young. Sandy was a well-known newsman on Minneapolis radio and television. He had nine children by his first wife, six of whom grew to adulthood. Billy's second marriage to Mary Whitney produced two more children: Ruthie and Doug. Ruthie adopted two girls, but neither she nor Doug have any natural children. Billy McDougall died in 1949 and is buried in the Oak Grove Cemetery north of Minneapolis.

• Fleda married George Clark (1889-1969) in 1914 and moved to Cromwell, Minnesota. They had four sons—Donald, William, Thomas, and Robert—and nine grandchildren. Fleda died in 1971.

• Blaine took over the family farm when his father died in 1919. He and Alura (1897-1959) had two sons—Merle and Donald—and five grandchildren. Alura died in 1959 and Blaine died in 1966. Both are buried in the Royalton Riverside Cemetery.

Wallace McDougall (1893-1969)

Wallace McDougall was the youngest son of Peter B. McDougall. In 1922, he married Mayme Lucinda McVeety, whose Scotch and Irish grandparents had similarly immigrated from Canada in the 1870's. Wally was a professional cook and baker. He was also a veteran of WW I and worked on the ALCAN Highway. Wally and Mayme lived in Royalton, Minnesota. They had six children—William Stuart, Nelson Blaine, Mary Roseann, John Donald, and twins Kathleen Careen and Kathryn Elizabeth—and 19 grandchildren. Wally died in 1969 and Mayme died in 1978. Both are buried in the Royalton Riverside Cemetery. The remainder of this section discusses their six children.

William Stuart “Bill” McDougall

Bill McDougall married Marjorie Ann Hill in 1943. This was during World War II, while Bill was a pilot and flying instructor in the Army Air Corps. After the war, Bill and Margie settled in suburban Minneapolis, where Bill worked as a graphic artist. Bill and Margie had six children—Lois Ann, Bill Jr., Barb, Jane, Grant, and Thomas—and later moved to Lakeland, Florida.

Bill contracted a disabling nerve condition that limited his mobility for the last 20 years of his life. He died in 1994 and is buried in the Royalton Riverside Cemetery. Margie lives in Lakeland, as do Lois and Grant. Barb, Jane, and Tom moved back in Minneapolis. Bill Jr. lives in Van Nuys, California. All are married and have children with the exception of Lois. Bill and Margie have a total of 11 grandchildren.

Nelson Blaine “Smokey” McDougall

Smokey married Ethel Voit in 1953. They had eight children, seven of whom grew to adulthood. Their names are Sharon, Sandra, Sheila, Shelly (died young), Sheila, Daniel, Michael, and Shari. All seven surviving children are married, all seven live in central Minnesota, and six have children. Smokey and Ethel currently have 16 grandchildren and one great grandchild.

Smokey and Ethel raised their family in Royalton. For as long as I remember, Smokey worked for a boat-building company in Little Falls (Larson Boatworks, I believe). He was also an outdoor enthusiast, always hunting, fishing, or trapping. He died in 1988 and is buried in the Royalton Riverside Cemetery. Ethel still lives in Royalton.

Mary Roseann (McDougall) Malmin

Roseann McDougall married Thelmer Oliver Malmin in 1950. At the time, Thelmer was a heavy equipment operator with a construction firm that was building a highway through central Minnesota. Thelmer and Roseann met when the construction crew took up temporary quarters in Royalton. For the next several years, they moved around the state from job to job in a 30-foot trailer home. Along the way, they had two of their five children, William Scott (1952) and Oliver Kim (1954).

Here is a photo of Roseann. [Click to enlarge]

The family settled in Royalton in 1957 when Scott was about to start school. Thelmer continued to work construction projects in Minneapolis, so he was home only on weekends. In 1968, the Malmin family left Royalton and moved to suburban Minneapolis. While in Royalton, Thelmer and Roseann had three more children: Jay Darrel (1959), Russel David (196l), and Tammy Renee (1965). Thelmer and Roseann currently have seven grandchildren and one great grandchild. Thelmer died in 1995 and is buried in the Royalton Riverside Cemetery. Roseann lives in Ramsey, Minnesota, just north of Minneapolis.

John Donald McDougall

John McDougall married Marlys Kehun late in life and they had no children. As long as I remember, John worked seasonally on the ore boats that operate out of Duluth. Marlys was a schoolteacher. They lived in Rice, Minnesota, which is just south of Royalton. John died in 1994 and is buried in the Royalton Riverside Cemetery. Marlys still lives in Rice.
