| Notes |
- James A. McKenzie was born January 8, 1844, at Southampton, Pa., and died February 19, 1906, at the family residence in Hitchcock, Blaine county, Oklahoma, after a lingering illness. In 1869 he was united in marriage to Miss Esther E. Breig, in SS. Philip and James Catholic Church, Meyersdale, Pa., by Rev. Patrick Brown. They resided here until the spring of 1874, when he sought his home in the West, living in Kansas and Arkansas. When the new country of Oklahoma was thrown open for settlement, he was among the first settlers, and with his family endured many hardships, but his zeal and labors were crowned with success, and he became the owner of a beautiful farm. He leaves to mourn his death his wife and eight children, viz.: Laura, Mrs. Kimerly, of Saint Louis; Alice, Mrs. Eichorn, who lives in the Indian Territory; Vincent, Floyd and Samuel, of Oklahoma; Clarence, James and Clinton, at home; his aged mother, Mrs. Lavina McKenzie, brother Thomas and sister Mary, of this place; Julius of Illinois, and Aaron of Indiana. A brother and sister and three children preceded him to the spirit world. He was a kind friend, a loving and affectionate husband and father, a consistent Catholic, patient and resigned to God's holy will in his last illness. Fortified and strengthened with the last sacraments, he died with a hope of a glorious resurrection. May he rest in peace. Hand dated 1906
