• Notes

  In North Dumfries, on Wednesday, 11th February, at 4: 30 o'clock, a.m., John A. McKenzie, aged 81 years and 26 days. Galt Reporter Feb 13 1885 pg 1 __________________ We regret to announce this week the death of Mr. John MacKenzie, a very old and much respected resident of North Dumfries. Mr. MacKenzie was born in Inverness, Scotland, in 1800, and came to this country in 1826, immediately taking up the land on Mill creek road on which he has since spent his life. The deceased gentleman was widely known and universally respected in this locality. He took great interest in horticultural pursuits and agriculture, and possessed very accurate knowledge of much of our seed and plant life. Mrs. Mackenzie and a large family still survive him, some of his sons and daughters residing on the homestead while other sons have resided at times, we believe in California, and one - who is by profession an engineer - having spent some time in connection with the surveys in the north-west. Mr. MacKenzie's funeral will take place today (Friday) at one o'clock p.m. Galt Reporter Feb 13 1885 pg 1
