Late Kenneth McKenzie funeral Rite Reflects Long Civic Life
A Sunday morning service on April 26 commemorated the late Kenneth McKenzie at Peelwood Junction. The lengthy tribute noted his birth on July 1843 at Fitzgeralds Valley, emigration to Peelwood in 1868, and settlement in Abercrombie Junction by 1916, leaving behind a widow and seven daughters. Described as a sturdy pastoral pioneer and devoted churchman, McKenzie was praised as a husband, father, brother, and friend, whose life illustrated Christian character and loyal service. The ceremony featured Scripture readings, hymns, and quotes, concluding with a memorable, impressive farewell.
