Obituary
"Piatt County Republican," Monticello, IL June 16, 1927
"FORMER MONTICELLO BOY DIES IN SAN FERNANDO, CALIF."
"Word was received here Monday evening telling of the death of Michael Edward McKenzie, son of Mrs. Sarah McKenzie of Decatur, until recently of this city. The message stated that he died Sunday, June 12, in the hospital at San Fernando, Calif.
"Michael Edward McKenzie was born October 17, 1894, in Effingham, Ill., the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward McKenzie of this city. He attended school here, and after his graduation went to work at the Pepsin Syrup factory until he enlisted in the World War. He went to France with the French Mateau (sic) Battalion. After the close of the war, he returned to his home here and again went to work at the Pepsin Syrup factory, where he was foreman of the bottling works until his health became so bad that he could not stand to continue his duties there.
"He then went to Colorado, where he entered the Fitzsimmons hospital in Denver, in 1922, and after remaining there for about two years, he was improved so much in health that he left there and went to Los Angeles, Calif., to work. He was married while in Denver to Miss Ella Eckland, who was his nurse while he was in the hospital. He was married in 1925, the same year he went to California. There he remained until the 8th of last March when his health again became so poor that he was taken to the hospital in San Fernando, Calif., where his death occurred Sunday.
"He is survived by his wife, his mother, Mrs. Sarah McKenzie, three brothers, Earl and Francis of Decatur, James P. of Springfield, two sisters, Mrs. John Wilcutt of Felton, Minn., and Miss Betty McKenzie of Decatur. His father died October 16, 1924.
"Michael was a member of the Catholic church, American Legion, Knights of Columbus, and the Moose Lodge.
"The funeral services were held in San Fernando, and the interment was also made there."
