      "LEWIS MCKENZIE DIES AT HOME"

      "Lewis McKenzie died at his home two miles west of Moccasin, Friday morning at 6 o'clock, Jan. 5, 1917. He was 79 years old at the time of his death."

      "Mr. McKenzie was born in Knox Co., Ohio, Sept. 23, 1837 and came to Illinois when he was but 10 years old together with his father, mother, two brothers and one sister.* From this family the sister, Mrs. Katie Durbin, is the only one living. His brother Frank having gone to the home of God last February."

      "The first brother, John, died about 70 years ago and was the first person to be buried in the St. Bonaventure Cemetery."

      "Mr. McKenzie was married the second time. His first wife was Miss Normanda Logue of Effingham Co. To this union were born nine children. Benny, the oldest boy, and Sarah, the oldest girl, died years ago. The surviving children of this union are: Edward McKenzie and Mrs. William Hosler, Monticello, Mrs. Saint Doty and James McKenzie, Lovington, Mrs. J.D. Rhodes, Avena, Charles McKenzie, Altamont and Curtis McKenzie, Beecher City, Illinois."

      "His second marriage was to Mrs. Sarah Dial, who remains after him. One boy, Joseph, was the only child born to them."

      "Mr. McKenzie was a good Christian man having lived and died a good Catholic and besides his wife and children, he leaves many relatives and friends to mourn his departure."

      "He was buried at the St. Bonaventure Cemetery, the funeral being preached by Rev. Father Walsh, of Altamont, Illinois."
