Malcolm MacArthur was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan in 1915 to parents John & Bella. He eventually made his way across the country and settled in Prince Edward County where he met and married Dorothy McDonald in 1938. In 1948 they relocated to Oakville, purchasing a home at 247 Allan St. They were only there for two years, however, selling to Harold Hodgins in 1950. It is not known where they settled after selling their Oakville home. Malcolm passed away at the early age of 47 and is buried in the Wellington Cemetery in Prince Edward County.
