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.
