Albert McKenzie who died at his home near Fish Trap last week and who
was one of the most popular and widely known farmers in Johnson
County was the son of Linville and Mary Lemaster McKenzie.
  
He was born on January 30, 1878 and after living to the ripe age of
60 years, nine months and three days, died at his home in the county
much to the sorrow of his friends.
  
He was one of the most outstanding citizens of the county and his
passing is deeply regretted by a large number of Johnson County
citizens.
  
On September 28, 1898 he was married to Miss Stella Burchwell also of
this County and to this union were born two sons and two daughters:
Homer, Ford, Ola and Clara, the latter dying in infancy.  His
daughter Stella also preceded him in death on August 10, 1916.
  
He was preceded in death by his wife, Stella, January 9, 1917 and
later married Clara Williams, also of a prominent Johnson County
family.  To this union was born one son who was named Hula Kendell
McKenzie.
  
Mr. McKenzie was taken into the United Baptist Church at Fish Trap
when only a young man and served his entire life as one of the most
devoted members of that organization.  At the time of his death he
was secretary of the Church.
  
At his funeral which was held last Monday, at his home near Fish Trap
hundreds of the most prominent and important citizens of Johnson
County were in attendance. The services were held at the old home
place and burial was in the family cemetery.  Following is a touching
tribute to this prominent Johnson County citizen and expresses our
thoughts of this good man.
  
Now dear Albert how we miss you, While you are gone to that sweet
rest; But in Heaven we will meet you, Where our sorrows will be
passed.
