Angus MacLeod was a highly respected Newport community member, and held many community positions, which are listed in the obituary. I am excerpting the sections related to his family. "Angus McLeod was born October 24, 1850 in Ross Shire, Island of Lewis, Scotland where his ancestors had lived as early as 1292. He was the second child and the oldest son of Rederick and Anna (MacMillan) McLeod and a grandson of Angus and Catherine (MacKenzie) McLeod. His father was a fisherman and crofter, well read and self educated, and took a prominent part in public affairs being familiarly known as the Pope of Lewis island. He was a friend and staunch supporter of Gladstone and being an able and fluent speaker was frequently sent to London to speak on public matters and took a great interest in the adjudication of the accession of lands in Scotland. The son Angus received his education in the common school, and at the age of 16 became a clerk in a dry goods store in Stornoway and later entered the employ of Kenneth Smith with whom he remained eight years, being promoted to full charge of the store. In 1873, he went to Glasgow and was there but two days when he engaged to come to America as a clerk in the Boston Store in Providence, owned by Callender, MacAuslan & Troup. He remained there four years and in 1877 with Mr. Peter King, a fellow clerk in the Providence store, came to Newport and started the Boston Store of Newport, King and McLeod, proprietors.
