Mennonite Weekly Review obituary: 1937 Nov 17 p. 1
Birth date:
RAMSEY [sic RAMSAY] MACDONALD OF ENGLAND CALLED AWAY
From London, England, comes the report that J. Ramsay MacDonald, who rose through labor's ranks from Scottish poverty to become thrice Prime Minister of Great Britain, died suddenly aboard a cruise ship bound for South America on Nov. 9.
Dr. Alastair MacKinnon, MacDonald's son-in-law, received news by radio of the death of Britain's first Labor Prime Minister.
The man who was born the son of a Scots farmer and spurned an earldom only this year died aboard the steamer Reina del Pacifico apparently of a heart attack.
