    • Alexander McDonald Jewellery Store (Fay Bennett)
      In an article in the Cobden Sun from May 1920 states A. McDonald's jewellery store currently occupied the building. Alexander was the son-in-law of John Delahey. He is listed as a jeweler and living on Main St. in the 1901 census for Cobden. An advertisement indicates that Coxford & Taylor were his successors in 1907.
