[Welland Tribune December 17, 1943]
Bequest Provides Fixed Sum for Construction, And Endowment for a Period of 20 Years
The bulk of the estate of the late Donald McGillivray, one of Port Colborne’s best known figures, whose death occurred recently in his 92nd year will be devoted towards the erection and endowment of a hospital in Port Colborne after payment of a few small legacies and succession duties, W.W. Crow, K.C. and the Toronto General Trusts Co., execution of the estate announced today.
The exact amount available for erection and endowment of the hospital will not be known until the estate has been evaluated and the succession duties assessed.
The bequest is a tangible expression of the long-cherished desire of the late Mr. McGillivray to see a hospital erected in Port Colborne. Mr McGillivray had often expressed the thought that there was a real need for a hospital in the community.
The bequest, the executors revealed provides a fixed sum for construction purposes and the remainder for an endowment fund for a period of 20 years from his death.
The location, manner of construction and other details of the hospital bequest are left in the hands of trustees named in the will.
The executors were not in a position to release further details of the will at the present time, they said.
