MCKENZIE, Rachel AGNES (HUTZEL) Oct. 27, 1852 Aug. 8, 1922 Age 69
Source: Transcribed by Betty Smith
Mrs. Rachel McKenzie, widow of Patrick McKenzie late of Greenville Township, Somerset County, PA, died at her home, Aug. 8, 1922, aged 69 years, 9 months, 12 days. After a lingering illness of two years, caused by goiter, she passed to her rest, leaving to mourn her loss ten children, five married and five at home. She was the mother of thirteen children, three of whom preceded her to the grave. She is also survived by two brothers, residing in Nebraska; one sister, of Swanton, MD., and one of Finzel, MD.
The home and church were filled to overflowing by the host of friends and neighbors who assembled to pay their last respects and homage. The floral tributes were very beautiful and great in number. Funeral services were conducted at 9 o’clock Thursday morning in the St. Mary’s Catholic Church at Pocahontas. A requiem mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Miller, her pastor, and sung by Father J.J. BRADY of Meyersdale. Interment was made in the Beal cemetery.

Sponsors of the Children of John M. McKenzie (abt. 1795) Which Circumstantially Suggests that Samuel McKenzie (b. 1751) (“Old Sam”) was John M.’s Father - by Michael A. McKenzie May, 2014

1.Before we begin with the sponsors of John M.’s children, note that John M. named his second child Samuel. May be a clue.
2.May, 1819, Samuel McKenzie, sponsors: Samuel McKenzie and Hanna Logston. Is this Samuel (1850, “Old Sam”, John’s father and this boy’s grandfather?
3.June, 1821, Harriett McKenzie, sponsors: Moses and Catherine McKenzie. I think this was Moses Ignatius McKenzie and his wife, Catherine. Moses Ignatius was a known child of Samuel ("Old Sam") and would have been John M.’s oldest brother.
4.September, 1823, John M. McKenzie, Jr., sponsor: Helen McKensey. Query: is this a misspelling of “Ellen”? If so, this may be John M.’s sister, Eleanor (Ellen_ and one of Samuel McKenzie’s (1751) daughters. The fact that there is only one sponsor reinforces that Helen/Ellen was not married and coincides with the information I recently sent you with respect to Samuel F. McKenzie (b. 1805).
5.September, 1840, Peter McKenzie, sponsors: May and Basil McKenzie. The only Basil of which I am aware was the son of Moses Ignatius McKenzie referenced above. Basil would have been John M.’s nephew, and the grandson of Samuel McKenzie (1751).
6.May, 1844, Francis McKinzie, sponsors being Sam’l F. McKinzie and Reb. Garlitz. This could be one of two people: Samuel F. McKenzie (abt. 1791), who was John M.’s brother or Samuel F. McKenzie (1805), who I have proposed was the son of Ellen McKenzie of Samuel (1751).

Conclusion
These are the recorded baptisms of John M.’s children in which I can identify the sponsors. In every one that I can identity, there is some connection to Samuel McKenzie (1751). Ergo, I conclude that Samuel McKenzie (1750) was the father of John M. McKenzie (abt. 1795).
