The funeral of Mr John MacKenzie took place yesterday from the residence of Mr Samuel D. Nicholson. Rev. A. Grant Evans officiating and was very largely attended. Among others, the Messrs. MacKenzie from Victor and Mr Murt Nicholson from Lake City were present. For some time previous to his death Mr MacKenzie had noticed various premonitory symptoms of heart weakness, but without experiencing any serious suffering or entertaining any fears of fatal results. On the day of his death he went to work as usual, but early in the afternoon quit work complaining of a pain in the chest. He went to his house after seeing a neighbor and arranging with the latter to go to work in his place. In the evening the mine foreman and engineer called to see him, but getting no reply on knocking at his door, they concluded he had gone to his nephews (Mr Nicholson) or downtown. Not having seen him in the meantime they became uneasy on the following evening and called the matter to Mr Nicholson's attention, who at once proceeded to Mr MacKenzie's house, and having affected an entrance found that he had passed peacefully away, no doubt shortly after retiring on his return from work Saturday afternoon.


The deceased lived for many years in Rose Valley, P.E.I. which he left about years ago. He leaves a large family in Rose Valley. Coroner Price of Leadville was summoned and took charge of the remains. The deceased was about 52 years of age and leaves a large number of friends and relatives in P. E. Island to mourn the loss of a kind and generous father and friend.\

Mr Grieve had spent all of his life in Harvey, with the exception of a few years of his early life in California and British Columbia. He retained all his faculties until the end and had a keen memory, could tell many interesting tales of the "old days" and could remember when there was only a footpath through Harvey Station, which is now a very prosperous village.

The funeral was held Tuesday at two o'clock with prayers at the home and services from the United Church of which Mr Grieve was a lifelong member. Service was conducted by Rev. W. E. Aitken. Rock of Ages and Abide With Me were sung by a mixed choir and Beautiful Garden of Prayer, solo by Charles Watson.

Pallbearers were Cecil, Wilmot, Fred and Oswald Grieve and Willard Wilson, nephews of the deceased, and Emery Lister of McAdam. Interment was made in Harvey Cemetery.

​

He married Eleanor "Ellen" Wightman, daughter of John Wightman Ann Isabel "Annie" Messer, 5 Jun 1890. Born 20 Dec 1871 in Tweedside. Christen 10 May 1876 in Presbyterian Church, Harvey. Died 26 Jul 1949 in McAdam. Buried in Harvey Settlement Cemetery.
