Surnames: McRae McDonald
Trying to find the first name of Mrs. J.F. McRae listed in the obit found below. Assuming but am not sure that J.F. McRae is the husband's name. Maiden name would have been McDonald. Mrs. McRae was born in Glengarry County Ontario, likely sometime between 1860-1880. Mr. McRae may have also originally been from Glengarry County. They were living in Morinville in 1931 but am not sure for how long at that point.

OBIT:
Nov 11 1931 – Standard Union Newspaper (Brooklyn, NY)

Catherine McGILLIVRAY died Tuesday at her home, 292 Maple street. She was
born at Glendonald, Cornwall, Ontario, Canada. Coming to this country in
her early youth and settled in Flatbush. She was a regular attendant at the
Church of St. Francis of Assisi and was a member of the church societies.
She is survived by her husband, Alexander McGILLIVRAY; her daughter, Violet
McARTHUR; her sister, Mrs. J. F. McRAE of Morinville, Alberta, Canada and

The McRaes have a long bio in this Riviere Qui history book. The bio starts on page 281, but do a McRae search in the book and click on the page numbers. The bio says they were from Glengarry, his name John Farquar and strangley on page 185 it says hers was Catherine, nee McDonald.
