McKENZIE, Dennis J.

Dennis J. McKenzie, of whose death brief mention was made in last week's issue, was laid to rest on Thursday afternoon in the Grantsville cemetery. This death, coming as it did, so unexpectedly, was a great shock to everyone, he having lived only a day and night after the stroke. Rev. Father Quinn of West Salisbury remained with him during that time, waiting to receive his confession and give absolution, but he never regained consciousness, and the end came about 10 o'clock on Tuesday night. Two brothers and two sisters survive him - Hubbard of Grantsville, Tom of Midland, Md., Mrs. Henrietta Smouse and Mrs. Arthur Jordan of Grantsville. The latter was unable to see her brother before he was laid away, due to illness, a baby girl having been born to her a few days previous to his death. Dennis McKenzie was born in Feb. 14, 1864, and always lived in Grantsville. For nearly twenty-five years he was practically the only barber about here, and his little shop was a meeting place where the men congregated each evening to talk over the events of the day. In faith, he was a Catholic, although during the years of his self-imposed retirement he also neglected to perform his church obligations, which act of omission debarred him from receiving the burial rites of the church of his faith.
