- William Leo MCKENZIE was born on 5 Jan 1948 in Cumberland, Allegany Co., Maryland. He died on 14 May 1967 in Cumberland, Allegany Co., Maryland. William L. McKenzie, 19, of 51 East Division Street, Fairgo, was fatally injured yesterday when his car left State Route 28 two miles south of Fort Ashby, W.Va., on a slippery highway. The young man, a girl companion and a group of other young people in another car were on a fishing trip. West Virginia State Police said McKenzie's auto failed to straighten out on a sharp curve. His wheels hit the soft shoulder and the car careened over a bank and into a creek. His friend, Miss Jerry Shank, was only slightly injured and, after treatment at Memorial Hospital, was released. McKenzie was taken to Memorial Hospital here, arriving about 9:45 a.m. but died about 15 minutes later, attendants said. First reports that he had been pinned under the car and drowned were unfounded, Dr. Benedict Skitarelic, medical examiner said. Death was due to a ruptured lung. McKenzie was born here January 5, 1948, a son of William Paul (sic: Paul William) McKenzie and Margaret T. (Flynn) McKenzie. He resided at Fairgo all his life and attended SS. Peter and Paul Parochial School and Allegany High School. He had been working recently for the Yuhascik Contracting Company of Bel Air. Besides his parents he is survived by his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Elizabeth E. Flynn of Oakland; a sister, Margaret Ann, and two brothers, Daniel J. and P. Wayne McKenzie, all at home. The body is at the George Funeral Home where friends will be received from 7 to 9 p.m. today and 2 to 4 p.m. tomorrow. The Cumberland News, May 15, 1967
