MCKENZIE, JOHN Earle July 8, 1900 Dec. 13, 1918 Age 18 Source: Transcribed by Betty Smith A very sad death occurred in Greenville Township on Friday, December 13 when the life of John E. McKenzie was crushed out instantly. Mr. McKenzie was riding on the train in the Clay mines at Mt. Savage when a car jumped the track, knocked the timbers out, which with a large amount of the roof fell on him, causing his instant death. His death caused great sorrow not only in his own home, but in the entire community as shown by the large attendance at the funeral services in the Greenville Lutheran church on Monday morning. John Earle McKenzie was the second son of George and Ellen McKenzie, born July 8, 1900, and was therefore 18 years, 5 months and 5 days old. He was baptized by Dr. E.S. Johnson, Nov. 3, 1901. He was a boy and young man of good habits and had many friends. He is survived by his parents and the following brothers and sisters: Delbert, now serving in France, and Margaret, Leora, Dallas, and Sales. The grief-stricken parents express their appreciation of comfort and help extended them in their hour of sorrow. Rev. Chas. Lambert, Lutheran pastor at Greenville and pastor of the family, conducted the service of burial. Interment in Greenville cemetery.
