• Notes

  Mudgee Guardian and North-Western Representative (NSW : 1890 - 1954) Fri 21 Jul 1899 Page 13 The Late Donald McKenzie At Hill End on Saturday last, a memorial service, the Rev. C. W. Willis conducted service in memory of the late Donald McKenzie whose sad death we recently reported. A very large congregation assembled in the Presbyterian Church; many were visibly moved by the preacher's eloquent reference to the deceased. Dubbo Dispatch and Wellington Independent (NSW : 1887 - 1932) Fri 16 Jun 1899 Page 3 MUDGEE. (From the Western Post.) It in our extremely sad duty to report the death of Mr. D. McKenzie, of Hill End, which took place at 7 o'clock on Sunday morning, the cause of death boing pleurisy. Mr. McKenzie, with Mr. Bryant, visited the late Mudgee show, and one would then have taken a lease of his life. On the night Mr. John Norton spoke against the Federal Bill in Mudgee Mr. McKenzie attended the mooting when he contracted a slight cold. He did not take much notice of it, and returned to his home. Business necessitated a visit to Bathurst, and there he caught a second cold. Returning home, no alarming symptoms manifested themselves, but the cold seemed to stick to him. Pleurisy then set in, and, despite the best medical skill and careful nursing, he succumbed on the above mentioned day at the early age of 35 years. The death is a particularly sad one, as the deceased was married to Jessie, second eldest daughter of Mr. G. H. Bryant, by the Rev. G. W.Willis, on March 17, just a little over two years ago. The deceased was well and favourably know, and was one of the best pigeon shots in the western district. The suddenness of his demise came as a great shock to his relatives in Mudgee, and it will go hard with his aged mother who lives near Bathurst.
