| | Surname | Macdonald | | | First names | Charles Edward | | | Rank/ occupation | Additional Sub Collector | | | Death date | 15 June 1832 | | | Place of death | Cuddapah  | | | Source | Gentleman's Magazine |  | Edition | Nov 1832 | | | Page number | 487 | | | Detail | At Cuddapah, Charles Edward Macdonald, esq. Additional Sub Collector; brother to the above [John A. Macdonald. Captain 3rd Light Cavalry, Madras]. This unhappy occurrence owed its rise to the circumstance of a dead pig having been thrown into the mosque; in consequence of which profanation a mob of infuriated Mussulmen assembled. Mr Macdonald hastened to the spot to endeavour to pacify them, and was there brutally massacred. Of a Naigue and four Sepoys, who voluntarily went to his assistance, the former (a Mussulman) and two Sepoys were also killed, and the other two wounded. Melancholy to relate, his widow (Maria-Agnes) has since followed him to the tomb, after giving birth to a daughter, and leaving three infant orphans. |
