Being left an orphan at an early age, he went to live with an uncle, Peter Winn, with whom he remained until after removing to Holt county in 1882 when he settled on a homestead and went on his own. He was a pioneer of the old school. Breaking the virgin prairie with oxen and weathering the blizzards, drouths and the grasshoppers. It is difficult to grasp the full meanings of the friendships that were formed on these prairies. The writer, being of the younger generation, missed many of the trials and hardships, but being intimately acquainted with him for over 25 years became familiar with all he endured in helping to make the country what it is today. McKenzie and I were friends, this friendship was created in our being associated with one another under conditions that try the souls of men and it never dies. Let no man be so unkind as to speak a word unkindly of Tom Mc Kenzie. He is gone. I never heard him speak unkindly of any man. I know he was a man with out any fear only of Almighty God and the tempation to do wrong. Tom, we will all miss you. We will miss the home that never knew a lock and where the latch string was always out, and where a deserving man was never turned away. Come then Holy One, sweet messenger of rest and bear away upon thy snowy wings to the celes tial clime the soul of the noblest creature of his time. Green be the grass above his grave and may the winter snow fall lightly thereon. Good by old friend, may God bless you. Lloyd Gallagher.
