WILLIAM A. MCKENZIE.
He Passed Over the Great Divide to the
Land Beyond,

/
| William A. Mckenzie, an old business
man, veteran and resident Of this city,
| died shortly after 500 o'clock this fore
noon at his residence on Palace avenue
His death comes as a shock to the com
munty because it was so sudden and
unexpected and because he was known
by nearly every body in the city.
Mr.. Mckenzie had been complaining
for a week or so Of severe headaches
and did not seem to feel well. He was
in his store Yesterday forenoon however
the same as usual. At 1000 o'clock he
became so i'll that DR.. Massie was
summoned, The i'll man became worse
and was taken home in a coach. 1t
became apparent that he had suffered a
stroke of paralysis from which he did
not rally. 10 friends he had often ex-
pressed a presentiment that this would
be his manner of death.
Mr.. Mckenzie came here from Peoria
H., in 1873, and established himself
with Alexander Irwin in the hardware
business in which he has been engaged
since then and since 1882 without Il
partner. In 1874 he made visit to
Peoria and was married there on August
3. to Miss Carrie M. Hines who with
three children. Reginald, Hortense and
Jean survives him. Two children pre-
ceded him to the grave. His father and
his sister Mrs. Irwin and Miss Mckenzie
are residents of this city.
Mr.. Mckenzie made a splendid record
for himself in the civil war in the
struggle for the Union. After coming to
New Mexico he took active interest in
the militia and for time held the rank
of first lieutenant in the local company.
Mr.. Mckenzie was a good business man
and made laany friends. He was ehari
table in an unostentations way and
contributed literally to the support of
the Church of the Holy Faith.
The final funeral arrangements will
be announced next Monday. the likeli-
hood being that the funeral will take
place on Tuesday

who is a candidate on the Republican
ticket for member of the house from

upon the face of the returns was de-
feated, manages to get in. The legisla-

Republican this year, the Democratic
members will, of course not have very
much to say when it comes to employees

is as it should be, and is the rule in
