Tuesday, about noon, Squire S. J. McKenzie of Garrett was instantly killed by the local freight near the station. He was walking on the track and carrying a large umbrella to shield him from the heavy rain that was falling at the time. The umbrella obscured his sight and the train came upon him before he was aware of its presence. His left arm was broken in two places and his head was ground to a jelly. He was dead when picked up by the trainmen. Squire McKenzie, although a devoted Catholic, was one of the most prominent and active school men in the county - a fact that gives the lie to the general assertion that people of his faith are enemies of the school system. He was a good man in every sense, but could not hoard money. His untimely death will be regretted by all who knew him and by all who appreciate manliness, integrity, and public spirit, in a man. Interment today in Meyersdale.
