"THE HISTORY OF THE GABRIEL McKENZIE AND RACHEL BLUBAUGH FAMILY OF MARYLAND AND OHIO" by Father Homer Blubaugh:
In 1883 Gabe and Laura took their two firstborn, Gus and the baby, Sarah, to Kansas in a wagon train. The
purpose was to link up with other McKenzie cousins already there, but not finding a good job, they returned the next year. Sarah was a frail child and rode on a pillow on the wagon bed. Gus, as a young boy, remembers the return trip with an¬ other wagon train a year later and sitting around the campfire watching the fire gleaming off the red eyes of wolves at night. Gabriel was struck by a car while crossing West Broad Street to visit his son, Alonzo. He lived several days and died June 21,1927, at Mt. Carmel Hospital. Laura died Nov. 9, 1945, in Marion, and is buried beside Gabe in Saint Joseph Cemetery, Columbus, in the Saint Joseph Section. "Gabe" and Laura are the parents of eight: Gus, Sarah Simmons, James, Thomas, Anna and Mary (twins), John and Alonza/Alonzo.
Joseph married Laura Mathes on 18 Nov 1880 in Ross County, Ohio. Laura died in UNKNOWN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
