Descendants of Edward and Rose McDonald
This is the photo from the November 13, 1955 McDonald Family Reunion. Held at the Halifax River Pavilion next to Jack Osteen's old home. There are over 110 family members in the photo. Photo taken at the old shuffleboard courts.

Photo courtesy of Kathy Bittle, Oak Hill, FL, she is descended from Elijah Franklin McDonald, b. March 27, 1865, Port Orange, Volusia, FL; d. September 19, 1929, Port Orange, Volusia, FL. Elijah's daughter Rose married Eugene Robinson, they are seated on the far left side of photo.

My Grandmother Hattie H. (Lastinger) Johnson & my Aunt Lillie Irene (Johnson) Stevens are seated in the second row center of photo of over 110 family members.

Lots of this information on McDonald's and Robinson's is from a locally produced binder book by Mary A. Dewees, “History and Memories of Oak Hill, Florida, in 1984 and the Oak Hill, Florida website. Lots of great local history.
