The Demise of Mrs. McKenzie, Relict of the Late Malcolm McKenzie

Isabella McDonald, wife of the late Malcolm McKenzie, died at the residence of her son-in-law Mr. Joseph Shorthill, Chapman street, on Sunday morning, about ten o'clock. Deceased, up to the last two years, had enjoyed excellent health, but latterly the infirmities of old age told heavily on Mrs. McKenzie and some seven weeks ago she was taken seriously ill. Heart failure was the cause of her death and the end was not unexpected. Deceased, who was born in Invernesshire, Scotland, was in the 75th year of her age. Her father died some 50 years ago. Some fifty-three years since the subject of this sketch was married to the late Malcolm McKenzie, in Scotland and in the year 1850 they came to this country first settling in Weston, where they resided only a few years. Subsequently, Mr. and Mrs. McKenzie removed to Galt and took up their permanent residence here, about 35 years ago. Deceased's husband died in 1865. In the death of Mrs. McKenzie a family of six children are left to mourn the departure of a kind and esteemed mother. The sons are; Hugh of San Antonio, Texas ; Daniel of El Paso, Texas and Angus late of Texas, who is now on his way home. The other son is John who resides in Galt. The daughters are: Mrs. Jas. Barton of Roseville, and Mrs. Joseph Shortill Chapman street. The late Mrs. McKenzie was one of the oldest members of Knox church, being a faithful attendant and constant worshipper at that church, ever since her residence in Galt. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, to Mount View cemetery.
